Doing to Track What I’m Doing
A computer is in front of me most of every day, but I’m terrible at knowing what I’ve accomplished there. It’s a source of play and work (which is often itself a sort of play). My platform of choice is macOS split with work in Ubuntu linux at the terminal. As a longtime “computer aficionado,” …
Tricking Out iTerm2
The new year brought with it a new job for me as a full stack developer for Webinology,1 a small firm in Chattanooga, Tenn. I’ve always been a fan of linux, appreciate that macOS is built atop BSD, and have long been comfortable at the command line. While Apple provides Terminal.app, I’ve always preferred applications …
Mullenweg Interview
The Verge published a great interview with Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg. So quotable! Here are a few hotspots. I try to make as few decisions as possible and really say, “How do we push that out to the teams, the divisions, the edges of the branches of the tree versus the trunk?” The assumption is …

I found this site again after reading How to Support NetNewsWire on GitHub. NetNewsWire is an outstanding open source RSS reader. You should check that one …
24 Hours on Facebook
The main lesson learned after 24 hours on Facebook is that the people most likely to ask What Would Jesus Do are the least likely to follow his lead. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and respected the adults who taught us right from wrong. They taught us about the wrath of the …
Updated WordPress, Updated Theme
Updated to the latest WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” and trying out the default 2020 theme. With a few tweaks, I think I like it. 2019-11-17 update: I don’t like numbers that descend below the baseline, so I’ve swapped the font from the default to Gentium Book Basic.
Exploring
Considering I used to write for a living, it surprises me how difficult it is to find my flow again. Granted, my decade as a newspaper journalist wrapped up more than a decade ago. In those days I would rattle off 400–1,000 words on some assigned topic after traveling, interviewing subjects, photographing subjects, and taking …
