I present a wee test for you, kind, gentle savvy reader. Have a run through these 10 random images, and see if you can guess the topic of this post (no scrolling, eh?) How did you do? When I tested it out myself, I was not sure I could pass my own guess test. Yes, […]
We have some fun in Networked Narratives with coded messages using rot13. Just look at the Daily Digital Alchemy 243: It’s just a simple cipher that works by changing each letter in a word to the one that is 13 letters after (wrapping around after Z). It’s nifty, because being half of the number of […]
The first HTML5Up template I turned into a WordPress Theme was WP-Dimension. The great irony was that I made use of the original static HTML theme on my own domain at cog.dog, but never went back to chow my own theme food. The thing that happened I was looking for a kind of welcome mat […]
In its impeccable reminding, my calendar does not have to worry end up being the butt of You Had One Job. Yesterday, was the reminder that it would have been my brother David’s 67th birthday.

The making of this remains to be blogged (can everything ever be all blogged?), but I assembled a short […]
Once you have a few years of blogging in your archives, you thus have some history (doh). And I made a little plugin to make it more visible, to generate a list of previous year’s post published on the current day. Just peek at my own page using this. It all started with a tweet […]

You are working on some project and just decide to look at an older WordPress site that should be just sitting there humming along, and see this… Fatal is not pretty. My hunch is that since it is a reference to “undefined function mysql_connect()” that it’s related to the changes in PHP 7 – I […]
It’s felt like maybe as long as a week since I blogged something about SPLOTs… that’s a long span 😉 But in that time I have been doing some major banging on the tubes and pedals to add big new features to the SPLOTbox theme. This theme was one of the later ones done, and […]
