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.
Feedburner
It’s almost like Feedburner was purchased and left to die on purpose. RSS feeds are a direct competitor to Big Search.
Downloads fixed
Finally fixed the inconsistent/broken downloads for .zip files. Just feels good.
shiflett.org
Love the latest design for Chris Shiflett’s shiflett.org. Very inspiring in its simplicity and clean visual aesthetic.
Building out
Gonna be posting a lot of content this year. I have tons of stuff that I want to share.
Disable JavaScript in Chrome
To disable JavaScript in Chrome, open inspector and type Cmd+Shift+P. Then type “java” at the prompt and select “Disable JavaScript”. To re-enable, close inspector.
UpdraftPlus
Been using UpdraftPlus for several years now. Solid, reliable plugin for making database backups.
Frontend metrics tool
Super useful tool for gathering frontend metrics: mydevice.io.

I disabled AI in Google search results. It was making me lazy.
Went out walking today and soaked up some sunshine. It felt good.
I have an original box/packaging for 2010 iMac if anyone wants it free let me know.
Always ask AI to cite its sources. Also: “The Web” is not a valid answer.
All free plugins updated and ready for WP 6.6 dropping next week. Pro plugin updates in the works also complete :)
99% of video thumbnail/previews are pure cringe. Goofy faces = Clickbait.
