It’s almost like it’s 2004. There’s an exciting new thing someone portmanteau-ed as “podcasting”. Not so new, of course. I’ve been part of one with Antonio Vantaggiato that defies the meaning of frequency (it’s more or less a reason to talk to mi amigo). I’ve also started a series for my work this year as […]
… in which I humbly pay respects to Jon Udell, as it reads in his Twitter bio, the “Patron saint of trailing-edge technologies.” And one of the endless reasons I respect Jon is his embodiment of being the antithesis to the Silicon Valley holy devotion to the cutting edge, is his devotion to the other […]
I knew the old car’s engine needed work, but I kept putting it off. Yes, there was advanced word that Reclaim Hosting would be making PHP 7.x the default for all sites, and that support for older versions of PHP would go away. I knew this was an issue for one of mine, the Five […]
This comes from the “I Did Not Expect to Spend Time Code Fixing This Tiny Thing But is It Ever Rewarding When a Hunch Pans Out” department. I kind of blame/credit my good friend Roland Tanglao (subscribe to his blog, something I had lapsed on doing, bad dog!). I’ve known Roland since the early early […]
January 1 was not only the day that relieved us of 2020, but also a celebration of works entering the Public Domain so works published in 1925 are finally available to all (celebrating that it takes 95 freaking Sonny Bono years to make this happen is bittersweet). I have a several times a day ceremony […]
I thought this was going to be a small digital cleanup project I could cross off my list over the holiday break. But like many tasks, when you pop open the hood (bonnet for those elsewhere), there ends up being more than you expected. There is a publication I wrote in (gasp) 1989 that I […]
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 […]
