Mostly about my amusement
WordPress users are fantastic. This review and how the reviewer brought it back. My reply is a blog post so here we are and below is my reply. *Reads. STANDS AND APPLAUDS!* Hello Jan. I usually write the text all in plain form inside a blog post, then split it with some h2 h3 h4… Read more This is not a Gutenberg Review, It’s a Blog Post
I have two 3D printers and each has a webcam. I use Octopi (Octoprint on a Rasberry Pi) and can stop bad prints from my smartphone if I need to. Some materials are difficult to print and hours into it I can cancel the print job. I tried attaching the webcams to the printer’s heated… Read more Time-lapse 3D printer videos
I just reduced 14 Let's Encrypt certificates down to 2. This is possible because the free service went live for wildcard certs. This has great implications for people who use the WordPress Multisite feature or routinely light up new virtual hosts in the same domain. You can read Let's Encrypt's understated announcement here. On my… Read more Wildcard certs via Let’s Encrypt
I think I can call the multi-material upgrade of my Prusa Original i3 Mk2s a success. It took me about a day to put together and another day of tuning but I like the results and the prints look good. Here's what you get with the upgrade kit. A new E3D v6 with multi-material heat… Read more Prusa MMU for the MK2s
Sometimes my hobbies cross over into each other. This year I attended WordCamp US in Nashville and had an idea. Why not download and make a bow tie with a WordPress logo on it? First I went to Thingiverse and I quickly found this one. I already had the WordPress logo from converting the SVG… Read more 3D Printed WordPress Bow Ties
Your WordPress site (or any web site you put on the Internet) has value. Take care of it, it is your front yard and what the neighbors see. It’s your front office where you invite people to talk or do business with. Own it and take responsibility for it. Recently on the WordPress support forums,… Read more WordPress Is About Responsibility
I had a broken dial. I also have a 3D printer, so rather than epoxy the heck out of the old one, I designed and printed a replacement. One finished 3D printed part was produced with just a few hours of work. My pool has a salt cell that uses electrolysis to convert salt in… Read more A 3D Printed Dial
Yesterday I went to work at a data center in NJ. I don't often go as the round trip is more than 5 hours on the road. I had to do some heavy lifting and I wasn't sure if I had access to the last place I needed. So my pal walked me to the… Read more Next time can it yell “Danger Will Robinson!” instead?
My daughter and a lot of her friends have begun to follow different K-pop bands. Putting aside that none of them understand Korean, they like the visuals and the beat of the music. And some of it is sung in English. My daughter is crafty and I don’t just mean her attitude. Today she’s attending… Read more I think she gets it from her Mom
My 3D printer only supports having one filament loaded at a time and that generally means the objects I print is one color. I wanted the WordPress logo (naturally) and two colors would be cool. I can print pieces in different plastics and assemble them but sometimes you want one piece. Good news! My printer’s… Read more 3D Printing the WordPress logo in two colors
