In reply to: @rzen's question on Mastodon
Multisite is tempting because of the shared users, theme, and plugin requirements, but with only two sites on different domains… it’s very easy to deploy a theme and plugins to two sites. So my gut: I’d probably just use two WP installs.
I’d also try to convince someone to really work through their IA and determine how different the content actually is between audiences, find a way to organize that, and then merge the sites. 🤓
I love the concept for A Landing a Day: generate a random landing (latitude/longitude), start researching, and write a blog post about it.
I found it because my post and photo of Long Valley (White Pine County), Nevada was one they happened to find when researching that Long Valley after landing at N39o 39.327’, W115o 18.964.
I submitted a question about an hour and a half late to Matt and Josepha‘s Q&A at #WCUS, but fingers crossed it makes it:
Does a lack of tools, want, or something else lead the community to publish on closed platforms rather than our own domains? Is that worth solving?
In reply to: a WordPress LMS note
Extra bonus if other open source LMSs like Moodle (also GPL) can benefit from this work.
Really exciting to see an effort between major WordPress LMS plugins to standardize their data models.
It’d be so great if there was a competitive and feasible path for convincing a university to move toward an open source LMS.
A couple weeks ago we were in Spokane and A saw his first merry-go-round.
It was packed full of people on plastic horses and we couldn’t help but think how much of a fever dream it must be like seeing one for the first time.
After listen number ~10, I’m pretty sure the new Blur album is exactly what I needed from a new Blur album.
New technology is great, but we discovered 20GB of lost photos on a Windows 7 laptop that hadn’t been turned on in 10 years and not many minutes later I had it as a shared drive on my Mac thanks to SMB.
In reply to: toddler teeth brushing thread
Mr. Bojangles is still a favorite, but this week we’re also really into “What goes up, must come down. Spinnin’ wheel got to go ’round”
And round and round and round and
In reply to: a PUSA reflection
I’m listening to these for the first time in years because A has reached the stage of toddlerhood where he can’t hear (or eat) enough “Peaches”.
He even sang “in a factory downtown” line on his own the other day. 🕺
PUSA’s first album has their best songs, but PUSA’s second release is the greater overall album.
A ticket I’m happy to have found, but would have been happier to find an hour earlier: ServerSideRender does not handle usesContext
I went to the hardware store earlier today, only bought one item (jab saw), and walked out in under 10 minutes. I’m pretty sure it’s a record.
10 days ago we drove from Pullman to Spokane and it seemed like the wheat was just hitting its perfect gold color.
Today, there’s hardly a grain left! I saw a single combine harvesting what seemed like the last field. Wild how quickly it happens!
In reply to: an earlier song
This whole week has been the slower paced “Mr. Bojangles… Mr. Bojangles… Mr. Bojangles… Dance…”
He started requesting it after hearing the song once 😊
It took me, a web professional, four attempts over an hour to book a campsite for a state park in Idaho.
Lesson: have a browser ready to allow ads and 3rd party tracking scripts when you want to go camping!
Wild how you can hear a helicopter overhead and within seconds figure out where it’s from (Chelan county fire district) and that it’s likely helping with a nearby grass fire (at Wawawai county park) you hadn’t heard of yet. The internet!
“Well I know why I would have removed them from the wp.org recommended hosts page” he grumbles to himself as the site goes down after two weeks of trying to find someone who has access to change a client’s DNS records
