  • Wrong one last time. We think the microwave blew up, so we are getting an impromptu dinner. — with John

  • Me, after the windows have been open for a few minutes: “Something smells good coming in here. It’s probably the drier.” The Sweety: “Na, I farted.” This is how you win Friday night, I’m still laughing. Shabbat shalom y’all.

  • Designing Against Domestic Violence by Eva PenzeyMoog @epenzeymoog and yes, it is captioned! #a11y

    This copy of the talk is from Tech Omaha 2019, and is captioned so that everyone can benefit from it.

  • Since I have to re-add tabs to the browser, I’ve decided micro.blog gets the first spot this time. I’ll be taking a good hard look at what gets launched at startup. Maybe I’ll leave some of them off. I’m still deciding. For right now, an ice cold root beer is in order.

  • Sooooooooo……. Firefox updated, and after the updates were finished, all my tabs are gone. How’s your Friday going? I’m going to be so glad when this day is finally over. The universe has been telling me all day I should not be working and it’s apparently hell-bent on forcing the issue. I may take Monday off as well since I didn’t get this past Monday off. Only two more hours left.

  • If you add the multisite constant to wp-config, only to then go add out-of-the-box things to the local .htaccess file to prevent multisite from running and to run single-site instead, I am totally on board with the floors of your workk and play spaces being repaved with legos and you being forced to walk barefoot over all of it just long enough for your feet to start developing blisters, and then we do it all over again. “Error thrown
    [] operator not supported for strings” is absolutely not something I should see on a Friday morning after working for more than ten days straight and before I’ve had enough coffee. That is not the kind of adrenaline rush I need, at any time of the day.

  • I re-added my main feed so I could continue using Icro to post to Micro.blog. It apparently does not work if you add a single post kind feed. Having to load the mobile version of the ad new post screen from my WordPress it’s just a little bit too much work. I like to be able to compose a note quickly on my phone without having to navigate through a bunch of headings and buttons and check boxes. I’m not sure how all of the other post will show up, like chickens, but do not have a title, on Twitter, but I guess we will figure this out. I don’t post very much, so this shouldn’t become a real issue. Not chickens, check ends. God, dictation on the iPhone still sucks. Now I am tempted to go create a chicken post kind, just for laughs.

  • Dear fellow developers: If you’re one of those developers who makes it impossible to press the tab key to move through a screen, hand in your dev creds now and put down your IDE until you learn to do better. I should not have to get help from a sighted person to add FTP users to a server. This is becoming a serious problem. Learn HTML damn it! Learn HTML as if I am going to find out where you live.

  • That time you check your email, and, (finally), there are zero fires to put out, after having had to put out fires from Sunday the 19th until Wednesday the 29th, straight through with no days off. I am extremely thankful and grateful right now. This weekend is going to be great, because I am going to do absolutely nothing.
