Sigh. I just got to my camper in Texas, only to discover the person I paid to deliver it apparently wrecked it on the way here. Trying to figure out my living situation in the meantime, filing reports, etc. what a mess.

It’s raining, and the power just went out. One convenience about living in a camper is that we basically go into boondocking mode. The fridge kicks into propane, lights run on battery, and our Jackeries keep everything else running in the meantime.

Well, I had a good run. Just over 3 years I have managed to dodge Covid, but it seems my luck has run out.

And no, isolating in a camper is anything but fun.

Earlier this week, Kate and I finally sat down and booked the rest of our year’s RV stays. With that, we officially have our statistics for the year. What’s cool is we were able to compare it to next years planned route, to help figure out if the trip is too much, or not. blog post probably coming soon.

This presentation covers how I transformed my website from being a static digital portfolio into a dynamic hub, ingrained with my social presence, containing the most authentic version of me online.

I just did the single longest drive with a camper in-tow we've ever done. We went 680 miles, starting in Hartwell GA, and parking for the day in Lafayette, LA. I do not enjoy staying in Mississippi Alabama, or Georgia based on previous experiences in these places, so we decided to rip off the Band-Aid and skip all of that in our drive to TX this year. 10/10, would drive again.

Well that didn’t go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard that’s hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. We’ll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.

What's the correct priority for add_action and add_filter?

CSS has gotten so, so good over the last few years. So many things that were really difficult to do are now trivial.

I’m playing in a disc golf tournament today! It’s going to be so, so swampy out there from all the rain. Wish me luck!

So this is kinda neat. I added a tiny little widget to my WordPress dashboard that allows me to speed up the process of publishing microposts (tweets) on my site.

Our winter home has been damaged, and it's unclear if we're ever going to live in it again. As a result, we find ourselves making due, but we're asking for help.

Cape Breton is so, so beautiful! Next level amazing. I don't think I've seen a National Park this scenic since we were out west two years ago. We went on a 4.7 mile hike today and we're rewarded with some cool views, but the drive itself was simply stunning.

30 million people on threads overnight. 30 million people have joined a protocol, that if we assume their promise to federate is true, will be joining the fediverse soon. This may age poorly, but it’s hard for me to not look at that as a win for the open web.

Should she be named Serena, or Melody?

We made it back to Charlie, our camper in Vermont, yesterday. We’ve all got Covid and I’m pretty much spending my day recovering. Gilmore Girls, fever reducers, and tissues abound. I’m so glad we got back before everyone’s symptoms peaked.

9 days in the OBX was just the thing. Nothing but kiting, and chilling at the beach, and I loved it. Back to Vermont tomorrow though! Lots more to do before we go to WordCamp US this month!

So Siren has had a character floating around the website for a while. I think she has become the mascot for the plugin.

I feel like she should have a name. What should it be?

alexstandiford, 8 months ago to wordpress

I believe that WordPress isn't software. It's not community. It's not a single person, no matter how significant that person thinks they are. I believe that WordPress is the manifestation of a belief that the web is at its best when it's open. If I genuinely believed that forking WordPress would be good for WordPress, and the web, I'd contribute to it over the existing platform in a heartbeat.

ChatGPT. Using the same prompt from a few months ago. Before and after. It has gotten so much worse.

Are there any apps that totally filter (eg: remove the post completely instead of saying “filtered”)?

The default app doesn’t and Mammoth filtering seems broken.

After importing over a decade of tweets into my site, I had several improvements to offer to the import utility I used. I compiled my changes to the code, and submitted it as a pull request, detailing what I needed, and why.

(thanks again, @shawnhooper)
