Plotting WordPress Jam Sessions
creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by kennysarmy Batted around last week via email amongst my new TRU colleagues was the idea of perhaps hosting a Kamloops based WordCamp in early 2015.

Flickr CC Attribution Helper for WordPressers (and accidental github ecosystem)
Right there is a test of new flavor of my flickr cc attribution helper where it generates copy/paste code to put the image in a wordpress post, but place the attribution text in a WordPress image caption structure.

Traveling Back in Web Time with Memento
Memento (nods to the Christopher Nolan’s genius) wants “establish a web that has a memory”. It’s part protocol / part browser tool that aims to make it easier to see a web resource at a past time of your choosing. In the video above I take a few steps back in time form 2014 through […]

Please, do not look. I told you. Twice. Thanks to some fun sponsored by Reclaim Hosting, I ended up with a new spiffy domain to play with. Let's play a game since the weekend is almost over. Find an *awesome* domain name and if I like it I'll register and give it to you. — […]
