Ah yes. The Passport Photos thing. It's still good!!

An actual conversation I was proud of…

My son saw me using Notes on my Mac last night.

“How did you do that?”

“What? Make the text bold? Look. Cmd-B!”

“Oh. Cool!”

“Cmd-B. Bold! Cmd-B. Unbold! Cmd-I. Italic! Cmd-U. Underline!”

“What’s Cmd-O?”

“Ah, that’s when you’re not wearing underpants!”

🤪🤣😎

The Vergecast delivers again! 😂

@reckless1280 makes everyone laugh by revealing how he's using iMessage's “send later" function.

"My feeling is like if there's a little delay in the response, it makes is do that we are not about to have a conversation… I write ‘Sorry I didn't see this' immediately and then schedule it for three days from now… I have an INFINITE amount of incoming where I just need to deliver an answer and not have a 25 minute conversation”.

@adam Hello! I don't seem to be able to log in to Spake. Are you changing things up on there? Looks like some new login system?

Wondered if there was any news on it? Thanks.

Oh the Wordlers are gonna be mad today! (I know I am!!)

@ivory Is there a way to return to your timeline point after doing a timeline search/filter?

If not can you please please please make one? 🙏🙏🙏

Yours,

Someone who’s been a full-on subscriber and fanboi since … wow … 2011!!!

Is there some library that helps do type-checking of #WordPress “apply_filters”?

Surely someone has made something or has a strategy for this?

Another annoying thing about Turbo Admin being such good value for money to start with is that I don't really want to do Black Friday promotions. It’s already a smashing good deal and I don't price it for profit (if you count my time I've certainly lost $$$’s)

Perhaps I'll reduce it by 1% ($0.35) for a laugh and see if I'm allowed to add it to the deal pages.

What say you, @nathanwrigley ???

I'm kinda speechless when stuff like this happens.

Huge thanks to Brendan O'Connell for posting a review of my Turbo Admin on YouTube!

I'm an engineer, not a marketer, so I'm very dependent on word of mouth to share the cool thing I make with the world. (Even though I feel like I talk about it ALL THE TIME!)

You can bet I bought him a few coffees as a thank you. 🙏

My customers are the best!

I can’t lie. Watching Twitch streams of a lawyer dissecting legal filings over breakfast wasn’t something I’d ever anticipated doing!

Wife: “I wonder how you get a job like that. At what point do you decided that you’re going to become an expert in peat bogs?”

Me: …

… wait for it …

… yes, I did. I’m not even sorry …

“You really have to be out standing in your field!”

This is a very good piece of “art”.

I like all the “DO NOT DO THIS” in the article too. 😂

Yay!

https://caniphp.com/ is updated to include new features and deprecations for PHP v8.4.

This tool is like caniuse.com but for PHP – it tells you which features are in which versions and rounds up resources related to those features.

You can explore the PHP 8.4 changes at:

https://caniphp.com/?version=8.4

(Ironically, no PHP is used in the creation of this site!)

@dianawebdev Hi Di!

I've just finished a big update to caniphp.com to add info for PHP 8.4.

Can you update the versions.ts in your RayCast extension to add it? I'm not sure if this is a simple PR to the raycast/extensions repo or not, so probably best if you can do it?

Thanks – hope you're well.

🖥️ Right. PHP 8.4 is out later in the month. Time to stop procrastinating and get https://caniphp.com/ updated!

Let’s see what’s new!!

That was a WILD weekend of dipping in and out of Turbo Admin support as the command-palettes-in-WordPress train continues to rumble.

Proud of what was achieved.
– Converted one highly skeptical user into an advocate.
– Got LOADS of great feedback.
– Made my first ever refund to an actually-not-that-unhappy customer who just needed some extra compatibility.
– Hand-held someone with lots of questions through to purchase.

Surprisingly emotional at times. But a good day in the end!

I feel I should say some things about the “business model” behind Turbo Admin, my command palette for WordPress. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

"Software is amazing isn't it? I can self-teach so much. I can make interesting & useful things. I can share them with the world instantly. Sure, I can make money from them. But I don't have to. It can just be fun & exciting to make, share and help others!”
