After 11 years, it’s time to wrap this up!
I’ve blogged a bit about The Expanse in the past, mostly to tell you about the TV series that I’ve grown to really enjoy. I’m also a big fan of the books the series is based on. I’ve read all 7 books published so far, and have been waiting impatiently for the 8th book to become available.

I don’t talk about work too often, but this time I have to share this :) Automattic has a series of interviews, all available on YouTube, where you can discover different Automatticians, what motivates them, and what they do every day.

After watching Danny MacAskill’s Cascadia video once again, I ended up playing this song on repeat today. Enjoy!
This has got me stuck a few times in the past few months so I thought I would write this down and get this committed to memory, once and for all!
When working with SVN and trying to add or remove a file that includes the @ to your working copy, you will run into a peg revision is not allowed here error:
svn rm modules/sharedaddy/images/[email protected]
svn: E200009: 'modules/sharedaddy/images/[email protected]': a peg revision is not allowed hereThat is because SVN uses the @ symbol as a way to determine a specific revision, like so:
svn info [email protected]
Path: readme.txt
Name: readme.txt

Relative URL: ^/jetpack/trunk/readme.txt

svn rm modules/sharedaddy/images/[email protected]@
D modules/sharedaddy/images/[email protected]Problem solved!
As I am catching up with Black Mirror (we are still in the middle of Season 4), I have to share this song from the episode we watched yesterday. It was a good callback to one of the first episodes, Fifteen Million Merits. Enjoy!
You can’t go wrong with some of the now popular themes from our favourite Marvel movies! This is a great compilation!
