Stay home
Everyone just stay home and hide forever. Brilliant idea.
Edge on macOS
Playing with Microsoft Edge browser on macOS. It’s like 1998 all over again.
Colors and fonts
Nice site for browsing colors and fonts.
WordPress Admin framework
This new Admin Page Framework looks very good. Bookmarked for future use.
Finding new plugins
Two great places to find awesome plugins: pluginsearch.com and WP’s browse new.
CSS two things
2 things I hate to see in stylesheets: _ and #
VLC media player
Love VLC media player but it fails miserably when it comes to randomizing large collections of mp3 and other files.
Should have kept the filigree
Dashlane redesigned, stating proudly they “removed all filigree”. Should have kept it; the app now looks generic and boring. Killed your identity.
PDF stamping
Working on integration for setaPDF + EDD on the new books subdomain. Good times.
Show hidden files on Mac
Toggle visibility of hidden files on Mac: Cmd + Shift + .
Cache checker
Great tool for checking browser caching for web pages and all included files.
Books subdomain
Now working on the books subdomain for Perishable Press.
14 Kilobytes
The new minimalist design styled by 14KB of CSS (uncompressed and un-minified). That covers 850+ posts and pages spanning 15 years of diverse content.
Placeholder support
Amazing (and sad) to think that, in the year 2020, Internet Explorer still doesn’t support the placeholder attribute, which is supported by all other major browsers.
Winter redesign
Finishing up with the latest redesign for Perishable Press! Should be live this week or early next.
