I started my habit in 2005. Yes, I have accumulated more than a few domains (details in my domain interview). I can stop at anytime. Im fact, I am shucking one this month. I credit a colleague I’ve not crossed paths with in a long time, Steve Dembo (he still has his own http://www.teach42.com/ sadly […]
Today’s the day to reset the clock on what I find is my own response to Curly’s Law– keeping to a habit of trying to take photographs of something very day, and choosing that One photo to post to flickr as for that day. It means a few things, now just out of the YouTube […]
One holiday activity has been some overdue clean up of my pile of flickr photos. It’s time soon to package my album of daily photos for 2020 into a video (again using a magical script by John Johnston). I rarely am at 100% for a year- it happened once. But this year, as always, I […]
Amongst the holiday time come for me a wee bit of time to attend to more minor code bits in my WordPress SPLOT themes that will likely rarely be noticed. For those that actually still use their WordPress sites, you likely as well do not notice that when you go to tag a post, WordPress […]
Among the many unanticipated outcomes of 2020 is the genericizing of a product brand name into the vernacular (I have been waiting like 20 years to have a reason to use “vernacular” in a sentence). It’s like what happened when a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient, commonly derived from collagen derived from the boiled bones, connective tissues […]
An afternoon of poking around the TRU Collector WordPress Theme has taken away an unnecessary vestige of how they started. This goes back more than six years ago, yes to October 31, 2014 (guess who was not out trick or treating). How can my memory be that good? It’s not, but I have a detailed […]
… then you just might have to pound them in yourself. And few things in this tech work give me more joy when figuring an end around, even if it’s one you end up not using. Rising For a number of months, I’ve been working away on an [unblogged about] project for JIBC, again like […]
Last week there was a request for resources in a certain domain (this was on a listserv (see recursion) related to open education resources). As people, do they shared links, but I noted with irony that several of them were links to other web pages of listed links. It gave me one of those flashbacks, […]
Beyond movies and perhaps MAD magazine references I have no direct experience with being forced castor oil as a cold remedy. But there is an old advertisement in an image that is in the public domain. Every indication is that the stuff does not taste well. Bring it on. I’ve been conducting a long running […]
There was a song in my head ever since I heard the news that the overzealous Proctorio was SLAPPing Ian Linkletter for his revealing their company IP by tweeting their unlisted YouTube links. Surely I’m not the only one. It was time for a long overdue (as if anyone is really waiting, I mean to […]
