2) For some weird reason I never discovered the Logitech wired game controller I bought a while back didn’t work with some games on my Mac. But I finally bought an 8Bitdo wireless controller and it’s a really nice bit of kit and has got me playing No Mans Sky again. It’s so much better on the Mac than the Switch. Making me happy!!

1) Our recent holiday was at this place: https://www.bournemouthbeachlodges.co.uk/
The lodges are really cute and well designed and equipped. Was great with 12+8 yo, but I think it would be hard with older kids as there are no “rooms”. It’s like a two-storey open plan caravan. But we were quite happy there! 😃

LOL. Well done Reform UK’s web developers, who were using a Facebook tracking pixel without consent.
“It said the tracking tool had been embedded because Reform’s site was made using a template that included it”
“A spokesperson for the party said any issues with the Meta pixel appeared to be “cock-up rather than conspiracy”.”
Amateurs. 🙄

Was gonna see if I could quickly add plugin activate/dectivate to Turbo Admin's command palette, but turns out it needs some bigger changes to make that happen.
I know how to do it now though. And I know it's possible. So it WILL be on the roadmap!
Trying to get the #WordPress REST API to let me activate/deactivate a plugin using login cookies and a nonce.
Still getting 401 responses – unauthorized.
Is this simply not possible? Is it required to have an application password or something?
I'm not sure I like this now that I've build it into Turbo Admin. Will have to see. (There's some niggles to fix first too)
It may be that it's better for where you have plugins that insist on having their own top-level menu item.
Reminder: The hidden items AND the open/closed state is saved not just within one site, but across all sites (if you use the browser extension).
So you can, for example, hide Yoast SEO *everywhere*!
Kinda sad that the BBC isn't showing any of the olympic breaking. I was excited to see some of that!
I did a holiday!!
I never announce this until it’s over. But we’re home. So yay for beaches and beach lodges and games and ice creams.
I'm toying with the idea that, if you have a command palette, you may not need all the menu items. So maybe Turbo Admin should be able to hide menus… ?
(On all of your WP dashboards, of course!)
@iambateman Welcome, Stephen. I don’t think I followed you on Twitter, but nice to have creative devs around!
US Zelda fans: In BotW and TotK, does Zelda have a posh British accent? Or do you get a different voice?
This is so much silly fun! https://social.lol/@triptych/112913467110890930
Some more tabs closed…
The ninth set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. Games, databases and online virtual computers.

(puter.com is really cool! But how does it make money? Who is paying the bills?)
(I also found https://windows93.net which is very silly)
Oh dang, I got well behind on closing tabs.
I owe you/myself for yesterday and today after this!
The eighth set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. Graphic novels, excellent articles, pen pals, PHP maps, and updates that I hope I did!
We say “Top of the hour” for xx:00.
What would the bottom of the hour be?
This is probably getting boring now…
The seventh set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. WordPress search, recipes, and word games!
The sixth set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. This is a pretty boring one. But there's a couple of real gems!
Last night I saw Shakespeare! We saw a company called The Handlebards (who cycle from gig to gig) perform a hilarious production of A Midummer Night's Dream.
Four women playing all the parts with rapid-fire costume changes, some modern twists, and all "in the round" in a beautiful local park.
A really fun evening.
Found this in my open tabs and it looks REALLY useful.
A reference of the order hooks (actions and filters) fire in #WordPress core.
Starting early with my old tabs today.
The fifth set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. Just. Lots. Of. Random. Stuff. Today.
