I thought I broke my oEmbed discovery links but I had a more fundamental problem. I had broken fancy permalinks on my nginx configuration for a while and didn’t realize it. I revisited the Nginx Codex page and did a stare and compare of my configuration and the examples there. I am sure I read that page in the […]
Year: 2015
One of the new WordPress 4.4 features is the ability for your installation to become an oEmbed provider. In plain English you can paste your post URL and get a result as if you were embedding a YouTube URL. I could not get it to work for me. No way, no how. The json and […]
I’m more of a Network Monkey, but whenever I can provision something just using an ssh session I smile. Many hosts use WP-CLI already and I’ve installed it on my VPS too. This morning I wrote up a small script to go to my test vhost directory and did the following. Install a blank WordPress site Update […]

The Carrie Fisher fade in was the best
No matter what happens, I’ll be hearing this in my head. All day. ? Ba ba ba ba ba dum? Yep. Nothing is going to help, that’s stuck in my head.
Friday afternoon I called the house and got my then 13 year old son. He turned 14 a few days later. Dad, the WiFi sucks. I'm trying to download an update to War Thunder and it's taking almost an hour. He was right, the WiFi adapter on his PC is garbage. The access point is […]

All the images load but a couple of galleries disappeared. While playing with the Wapuuvatar plugin I noticed that my recent 60 or so posts were showing […]

I’ll just put this here and walk away
I’m sure that this needs saving before the Evil Empire™ sees it! See? Sometimes the comments take me over too. 😉
I like CSS. It’s clean, (mostly) standards based and while not all browsers will agree on goofy features, some basics should just work. CSS3 Flexbox support should be on that list for current versions of browsers. Guess which browser doesn’t support “flex-direction: column”? Internet Explorer will not be updated by Microsoft for anything except security patches. The […]
I’m lazy and I like to try and figure out how to get the results I want without a lot of work. In the recent past I’ve uploaded featured images that were 1200 pixels wide and varying heights. I’m playing with a child theme of Twenty Sixteen and wanted to center crop the existing featured […]
