Faraway, So Micro

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.

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.

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.
