Comment Zero Inbox (Score 1) 182

No emails in my inbox, have folders @respond for ones I need to respond to that I can't immediately, @reference for anything I might thing might be useful later, @payment, then several other folders for filtering work stuff I need to keep or auto filter clients to for response later

Emails that come in are dealt with immediately, responded to immediately and moved to @reference if I need to keep or deleted, read immediately if it's a mailing list or deleted if I don't have time (if I don't have time now, I probably will never have the time), @payment for purchases.

By keeping my inbox empty, I can deal with email extremely quickly and I keep my time wastage down, I tend to deal with emails once in the morning, and then once in the evening, keeps the rest of the day free to get on with work.

PHP 5.6 and 7.0 are shortly coming to the end of the support period for security patches, so what plans have you made to migrate code and sites to newer platforms ? With apparently huge numbers (80%) of sites still running PHP 5.6, there appears to be little industry acknowledgement of the issue. Is there a Ticking PHP Time Bomb waiting to go off?

Comment Just hotels for bugs (Score 2, Funny) 126

My daughter plays with stones all the time in the garden, building hotels for bugs apparently, all these stones are just some bored kids trying to out do each other a few thousand years ago, it started off as a hotel for bugs (probably big alien ones - I've seen starship troopers), and now the "experts of the day" decide it's a place of ritual or worship...
