Faraway, So Micro

I’m thankful for ppl like Stephen Robles who shows all the fun stuff that can be done with iOS 18 that I know I’ll never get around to figuring out. 😊

What’s the word for when you text someone a question that has no urgency or time sensitivity to it, and they reply as if you’ve been watching your phone waiting for their response?

“Sorry at the dr will reply when I’m home.” -> me asking how their trip last week was.

If the puppy keeps getting himself stuck under the chairs in my office, do I get rid of the chairs or the puppy? Asking for a puppy named Neville. 😆

They’re practically giving away…. something over on tiktok? 😝 5?!

Josh Collinsworth has a great take on the whole #WordPress / Matt Mullenweg / WP Engine mess… with a conclusion I 100% agree with. joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire…

With Chartable, a podcast analytics app, being shut down by Spotify after they acquired it 2 years ago (who saw that coming??), Dan at Bumper has some good options for what should you use instead..

Would you believe that 2 weeks in to puppy ownership, my kids are shocked that they have to help take care of said puppy? Who could have seen this coming??? 😆

WordPress Vs. WP Engine? It Doesn’t Matter. It’s Bad For The Internet. #WordPress shouldn’t be in the news this much.

I can’t wait to tell my kids when our family is post-economic. 🤡 #WordPress

I’m not really ready to process that it’s the 20th anniversary of #U2’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb release.

I should clarify that the #WordPress situation is bad in the big picture sense of the word.. but not like “nazi” big picture. More like “bad business dbag” picture. So don’t panic if you’ve got WordPress sites. Even if you’re on WP Engine hosting, you’ll be ok.

One perk of having a puppy is that you get to use the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” a lot more.

Good lord what a way to poop on a huge part of the #WordPress ecoysystem. Matt Mullenweg’s truly gone off the deep end with this. No more WordPress for me after 15? years.

New on my blog: The Contractor’s Dilemma: Coping When Clients Disappear I’m sure others have gone through similar experiences when working with clients. I try to keep a thick skin about it, but I’m still a bag of fleshy feelings. 😆

Anyone want to help me test out the (beta) Descript recording studio? Join me now (for the next ~15m?) and chat web.descript.com/room/c8c9… (you’ll be able to turn off video, etc. before joining)

Great recap of everything announced at TwitchCon 2024 if, like me, you’re curious about streaming but rarely have the guts to actually do it. 😆

High of 31C at the end of September is certainly a choice.

Turns out all it took was a venti iced shaken espresso at 2:30pm to fix me. (See you at 3am!)

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.
