Cleaning up

Finally deleted all the cool unused placeholder Twitter accounts that I signed up for years ago. I will never use them.

Goodbye Dashlane

After several years with Dashlane, I’ve moved on to a simpler, better solution.

Moving on

After 10+ years, finally moved the last of my sites away from Media Temple.

Going forward

MUCH work to be done.

How it’s going

Watching. Waiting. Praying.

Plugin updates Fall 2020

Got all of my free WordPress plugins updated for imminent WP 5.6 in early December. Pro plugin updates currently in the works.

BBQ Firewall

7G Firewall now integrated into BBQ Firewall (free version). Pro version soon ;)

Big Sur

macOS Big Sur update complete. So far no crazy issues. Except TextEdit, which is completely screwed up and unusable. Replaced with free BBEdit.

macOS red dot

Got so sick of macOS’ annoying “red dot” that I had to remove System Prefs from the dock. Come on Apple you can do better.

nG on Nginx

Beginning development of an Nginx version of 7G Firewall.

Happy Birthday to Perishable Press, celebrating 15 years online! :)

Part of my success is from being able to look ahead down the road and see things coming before they actually get here.

Portfolio refresh

Spent some time refreshing my business portfolio at MonzillaMedia.com :)

Screenshot GIFs

Tried lots of apps for making animated GIFs from screen captures, so far Kap is my favorite. For example the GIF on this post.

Autumn leaves

Autumn is my favorite time of year.
