I opened up WordPress to write something. As often it goes, I got curious about something, fell into rabbit hole, and find myself writing a different post. This is my oft repeated experience on the internet. I’m not stats obsessed, but I did glance at the JetPack plugin’s dashboard widget. It was not the numbers […]
It’s rather exciting to finally see this available on my Reclaim Hosting cpanel… As if I need another reason to say how awesome @ReclaimHosting is- there is a second one click install of my WordPress calling Card themes available. This is way beyond "Hello World" in Twenty-Seventeen https://t.co/WOPKvEZOod pic.twitter.com/GDtuDunH2l — Alan Levine (@cogdog) September 11, […]

I probably said elsewhere that something else I made online was my favorite thing, but today I am going to say it’s the pechaflickr site I made that combines random images from flickr with pechakucha. Even trying to describe it in words does not help, give it a spin. It’s built all from open pieces […]
Oh Gary. Sending out blog comment spam must be wearying if a professional like you manages to miss a rather clear statement that appears in the footer of every page on this blog. Here, as promised, is your treatment. This infestation began 2 weeks ago. Date: Wed, Aug 15, 9:30 AM From: Gary <email redacted@gmail.com> […]
The beaches have emptied, the life guards off duty back to their “real jobs”, and I’m just the lone guy on the shore walking around with a metal detector. Today marks the end of my stint sitting in for Terry Greene in facilitating what I could for the eCampus Ontario Extend project. This is what’s […]
My motivation for adding features to stuff I code is increased by all the following: praise, a coin in the top jar, and when it also fits my own needs. I’ve got a little WordPress plugin (my first ever and one of my favorite found feature images) I wrote a while ago to export data […]
I’ve been working on a prototype web site I was asked to do for Tannis Morgan at JIBC. Beyond getting into some new code tricks, the best part of this was how she first approached me on it. With a metaphor. Meet a “Constellection” – my portmanteau for a collection of web resources arranged like […]
Dear Mom and Dad, where ever you are, I know you cannot send letters any more, but trust you know what’s in mine. Maybe you can read blogs? These August 27s keep rolling by, extending the time, though not fading the memories of when you were on this earth. Seventeen, Dad, and seven years, Mom, […]
Tonight the WordPress tinkering I was doing was way down in the weeds, but it never fails me how the codebase let’s you manipulate almost every thing in the interface. So a current project I am doing has a custom post type for something called Artifacts (yes, it’s for a portfolio project). I was showing […]
