Let Your Yes Be "Hell Yeah!" and Your No, No

This is something I wrestle with because I have a people pleaser personality. When someone asks something of me, I immediately feel like I have to do it to make them happy, even when my gut screams at me it's not a good idea.

I added my Micro.Masonry plugin to the Micro.blog plugin directory this morning (well, last night and updated this morning). If you’re looking for a nice masonry style layout for your Micro.blog photos page that’s mobile responsive, give it a look.

Still More WordPress Drama

Having Slack access, as do all WordPress.org plugin and theme authors, I can confirm community moral is in decline. Many developers have been banned from Slack for their dissension.

For reasons unknown to me, my Tinylytics plugin for WordPress has had (what I’d call) a large spike in downloads over the last few days. Not that it matters much… It’s just interesting to see it.

Now that I’ve moved to just one site on Micro.blog, I’m thinking long and hard again about “going all in” and aliasing my Mastodon username back here. If I do, maybe I can make it stick this time. I’ll ruminate on it through the day, and then make a decision tonight.

Unsung Heros of the Deep Sea

The deep-sea 'emergency service' that keeps the internet running Ninety-nine percent of the world's digital communications rely on subsea cables. When they break, it could spell disaster for a whole…

Even More WordPress Drama

To me, Mullenweg is abusing his power as the sole owner of WordPress.org here, and (as others point out) has forced a hostile takeover of the work of other developers.

I shared this nugget a while back, but it’s worth sharing again… If you have a domain you’d like to forward to another domain with just a simple DNS modification, I totally recommend ForwardDomain.net to accomplish it.

The move from WordPress to Micro.blog is now complete…

  • Content I wanted to keep has been imported.
  • Backup of assets from VPS taken and archived.
  • DNS records updated.
  • VPS decommissioned and deleted.
  • Domain forwarding for .dev to .org TLD confirmed.
