I see more and more WordPress devs diversifying.

As someone who is deep in WordPress but familiar with much more (and especially Laravel) I’m happy to help people level up!

I’ll probably try to resurrect https://beyond-wp.com/ soon.

And while it’s WAY out of date, https://wptolaravel.com/ might still be useful.

This is a weird ask, but I’m kinda missing creative collaboration and social chat.

Maybe I could stream some recreational development stuff?

Or arrange some short out-of-hours co-coding sessions? I’m happy to teach and be taught.

Would ANYONE be interested in this?

Can’t remember where I saw this, but it's a cool visualisation of the biomass and human-made mass on earth and how it has changed.

Also kinda scary.

Today I was reminded of this old Eliza-like “AI" psychotherapist guy that you could get on a disk with your SoundBlaster Pro back in the day.

Who else remembers…

"Hello Ross.

Just paid my bill for healthcare, roads, emergency services, social care, education, public transport, public utilities, overseas aid for those in need and business investment.

I really don't mind. I can afford it anparthelpmpy to pay my parthelpm kinda glad I get to do it because it makes society better and help others as much as it helps me.

The birds were singing loudly in my garden today.

When discussing this with my wife I realised that I’d not put any seed in the feeder for a few days.

Perhaps they were being noisy because they were…

Hangry Birds!

(Someone has made this game, right?)

Can we just rename “mid life crisis” as “perfectly reasonable attempts to escape from peak life responsibility”?

Do I follow someone that was looking for a fitness tracker + watch that was simple and just looked like a watch.

If that's you, does the leather version of this with the analogue face count?

Just finished our rewatch of Severance season 1 in preparation for season 2. What extraordinarily good TV. Can’t wait for the new episodes.

I saw people saying lots of good things about the local multiplayer game goodness that is Towerfall. How have I never heard of this? It’s EXCELLENT!!!

Chatting with friends about productivity and managing work and tasks and I’m realising that I’ve settled on a really good system (for me).

Must write about that.

It involves Rocketbooks. Which I was initially very skeptical of.
