People have actually wanted to pay me more for Turbo Admin. If that's you:
– You can buy another license and give it to a friend.
– You can buy me coffee: https://ko-fi.com/magicroundabout
– You can leave a review: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turbo-admin/hfafpihfemmbjhppilebphmcpepglkfp
– You can send me a testimonial.
All good ways to help! Tx! š
This is really fun.

As I've been asked:
No, I don't do a Black Friday discount on Turbo Admin – my
#WordPress Command Palette tool.
It's $35! One time. That's how much it costs. There's no tricks. No scarcity.
It's amazing value. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Talk Like A Pirate Day. Always!
Not made a sourdough for a while. Was worried about my starter. Butā¦
I think itāll be OK!! š
Yay! I did bike riding!! Nothing big but itās the first time in a long time so Iām happy.
But alsoā¦
Boo!!!
That main arterial cycle route they were improving is still a complete fucking mess. š”
This is not helped by the fact that, as well as Christmas, our lives contain four birthdays of close family and three birthdays of close friends.
Aaargh!!
(Iām not saying birthdays are bad or shouldnāt be celebrated. Itās just a lot all at once!)
Saying this in case anyone else feels it and thinks itās just them:
I hate December.
There is SO much expectation put on you either by others or by yourself (!) about what you should do and how you should be happy and excited by it all.
Iām exhausted after the long few months since summer where my northern-hemisphere world gets dark. I need a holiday. But my todo list just explodes.
I donāt use the word hate much. Itās a strong word. But I hate December.
And if you do too, youāre not alone.

@imdavidpierce on The Vergecast confessing that he upgraded instead of closing some browser tabs.
Had some mostly-analogue fun today too. The new āPaper Appsā game got delivered. I get PDFs because shipping is so expensive.

I combined it with the Zine Maker tool that I found recently which made printing it in a foldable form really easy.

And itās really fun to play!!
This is a very interesting little
card game. Amazing what has been achieved with Pico-8! (Itās multi-cart, if youāre interested)
Definitely has a lot of potential. Possibly itās a little too complicated / learning curve too steep. Not sure. Have you tried it?

My mid-life crisis is morphing into one about retro gaming.
This is bad.
This is a good summary of PHP 8.4, out this week!
My little tool summarises changes and helps you find what version they were first/last in:

So, like, tell me about AliExpress.
Is it all just super dodgy? Or are these the same things I can buy on Amazon for about 10x the cost?
I know there are dropshippers and people branding generic stuff with huge markup. Is it ever safe to just go buy the generic?
Saw the movie āCODA" last night. What a beautiful story and piece of film. The only disappointing thing for me was the highly-predictable ending. I mean, nicely done. But highly-predictable!
I shall now shut up about my precious thing for the day.
It has caused me lots of thoughts about product positioning, features, design, and pricing.
I hope some of them were interesting.
With the release of CommandUI there has suddenly been a lot of people looking deeply at how my own product Turbo Admin works, and comparing the two tools.
This post addresses some of the philosophy behind Turbo Admin, and clarifies some things about the tool that arenāt necessarily obvious.

I realised that if Turbo Admin is āfinishedā software that you buy, and if itās less than 1.44MB, I could sell it on a floppy disk! š¤£
Itās is both of those things!!
And now Iām remembering āpatch disksā. That was a thing, right? A program that patched a disk that had another program on it.
That always felt very risky. But thatās how we got updates!!
I also find it interesting that people call Turbo Adminās pricing a āLifetime Dealā.
Itās not.
Itās the old-school idea of ābuying a thingā.
Literally: Hereās a thing I made. You can buy it. It costs X.
I might support it (Iāve done a ton of support the last week).
I might add to it. (I will! But thatās not why you should buy it.)
But when you buy it you should consider it āFinishedā.
Weird, huh?
It's very interesting seeing the Turbo Admin vs CommandUI comparisons. No one was ever this interested in my product before!
About to write a post about some of the decisions I made along the way and the constraints that Turbo Admin has.
There may also be some kind of āPhilosophy" page on the Turbo Admin site. Though I want a better word than that.
