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.

Speckyboy Interview

Stoked! Had a great interview with Eric over at Speckyboy.com :)

Air clearing

Air finally clearing here in WA. Feeling grateful to breathe again. #oxygenmatters

Smoke attack

Past week here in WA state has been hellish. So much smoke, like living in a chimney.

September 2020

Now in September, I’m where I wanted to be in March.

Article update

Spent some time updating my article on unsafe characters, once again current with latest IETF specification.

Neo

Just realized that “Neo” is an anagram for “One”. As in, “he is the One” (The Matrix).

VLC player tip

To get VLC app to load all songs (including subfolders), go to Preferences ▸ Show All ▸ Playlist ▸ Subdirectory behavior ▸ Expand.

Switching to Affinity Photo

Switching from PhotoShop to Affinity Photo is one of the most liberating work-related things I’ve done in 20 years.

Pro plugin updates

Finally got my collection of Pro WordPress plugins updated. Everything now better than ever and current with WP 5.5.

Back on track

Air conditioner finally fixed. Now getting back on track with work and stuff.

Internet outage maps

Something tells me these Internet outage tools will be very super useful for the next several months. Buckle up people.

Thoughts
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.
RIP ICQ
