Weekend/holiday hacking: I’ve further developed my Pinboard Sync WordPress plugin. Anyone interested in having this in the WP repo? It:
– Copies Pinboard pins to a WordPress post type
– Includes tags in a custom taxonomy
– Will run through WP Cron and/or a WP-CLI command

I can’t remember who sent me this a while back, but the Eurovision Tech/AV team’s blog is full of all the insane detail of what they do to make the Eurovision party happen. 39 days to go. Geek out at: https://m-m-pr.com/index.php/eurovision-diary-2019

Despite being a super tech geek, I think this is the first trip Iāve made where I trust the tech enough to be pretty much working on digital tickets and cashless. Itās weird. My phone now does EVERYTHING!

Listening to this on the topic of modern work. It’s brilliant.

Loads of people complaining about April Fools day this year. I actually LIKE April Fools Day. I like spotting them. I like being fooled by them…a bit. I LOVE the creativity. And given the state of the world, I think we need a lot more playfulness and fun.

Navigating the streets with my girl on her bike always brings out smiles. This article with lots of girls on bikes made ME smile! Love it.

More government #petition geekery/boredom. I suspect people are just discovering that there’s a 2nd Referendum petition. This could be fun:

Oh bother. Yodel are going to deliver me some beer in glass bottles. This is not going to end well.

This is a phenomenal interview on one of my favourite podcasts 99% Invisible about libraries, parks and āsocial infrastructureā. So much to take away and think about. Full of hope. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/palaces-for-the-people/

Oh my goodness Iām such a hippy. Iām making sourdough. Iāve just made humous from scratch. And my next move might be yoga. Do I win some kind of prize?

It’s going to be another day of being a government petitions data geek, I can see.
Here’s a little list of tools that are using the petition data: maps, trackers, and fun tools.

Trying WP-CLI remote commands as a way of posting to micro.blog

You know, this week has left me really jaded about the web design/development industry. I donāt know who can be trusted any more. I darenāt interact or discuss. Iām questioning even my own motives. And Iām really sad and confused. š
But we get past it and carry on.

This āLift the Flap – Computers and Codingā
Book is a bit rubbish. It only has 4 flaps to lift! š

Been meaning to add a little “Maker Log” to my blog to record some of what I’m up to:
* Add a WordPress post type
* Add a custom widget
* Make a WP-CLI remote command to post to it from the command line
Neat!

Product idea: a plate with a cover thatās connected to a sensor in a cushion you put on a chair. The cover only opens when it detects the presence of a child sitting fully on the chair. You HAVE to sit on the chair to be able to eat the food!
Now someone please make this. Ta!

I still have a large bunch of content updates to do, but I wanted to get this out. There. It’s done! *phew*

BREAKING! (probably literally): I had this crazy idea for re-making my personal website/blog. I’m still not sure if it’s a great idea, or a terrible one. But go have a play anyway and let me know what you think. Still a work in progress, somewhat.
