Faraway, So Micro

I edited this episode for ShopTalk talking all about the fun and challenges of developing with #WordPress just last week and I, and I think developers, felt motivated to dig into WordPress again. And then Mullenweg flips the table and poops all over the floor. So bizarre.

Can’t anybody at #WordPress / #Automattic take away Matt Mullenweg’s internet for a week before he causes more damage to himself and the community?

Putting a link to his petty whinging in the WordPress Events + News tab of every WordPress install is bonkers.

Finally our long nightmare of using QuickTake to record iPhone audio while recording video is over.

I spend far too much time checking out team communication apps for a person with a sole proprietorship business.

Finished reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚

Weekends are for napping on the deck after a hard day of trying to eat wood chips, barking at hammers, and biting anything and everything.

Shoutout to everyone on 256GB Mac hardware, Apple Watch Series 3, or an iPhone 12 or earlier attempting to update their software this weekend. 💪 You got this!

Great password management advice from one of the people working on Apple’s Passwords app: Consider Slowing Down When Switching Password Managers

I hope he always stays small enough to be able to sleep on this. (He won’t.)

Nintendo is active on Bluesky. 🎉 That’s enough validation for me. 😜

I’m sure it’s just a funny coincidence that the week we brought home a puppy, our neighbours put their house up for sale. 😆

New assistant is working out great. Here he is helping with adjusting the mic stand to make sure it falls over.

macOS Sequoia was worth the upgrade just for being able to use the annoying PC Express grocery app on my computer instead of tapping on my iPhone. 😆

I wasn’t prepared to see the cast of Slow Horses look so fancy and well dressed.

I know it’s a fictional series, but the England they inhabit feels so real that it’s a bit like seeing your teacher outside of school. 😆

My brain when I’m busy: “I’d love if work slowed down a bit then I could try some of the ideas I have.” My brain when work slows down: “Oh crap. This is it. This is the end. My career is over. Everyone hates me.”

Still searching for the healthy middle ground I guess. 😆

How many different ways can you say “What could possibly go wrong?” when writing about Trump’s Cryptocurrency scam? 😆

Alright could everyone using my specific set of Apple hardware and software for my type of work report in on how well updating to macOS Sequoia has gone?

j/k I’m genuinely curious if anyone’s already on the other side and how it’s gone?

Why didn’t anybody warn me about how exhausting a puppy can be? (they did)

I appreciate these kinds of “here’s what you could try with your fresh upgrade to iOS 18” posts because the actual install of a new iOS is pretty underwhelming until you dig deeper into it.
