WordPress rel=”me” Link For Mastodon
I’ve been a Mastodon user for many years now, though — as is commonly the case for me with respect to social media — I’ve deleted and created new accounts there many times over. One of the cool things about Mastodon, though, is the verification system. Rather than having you pay money, submit a form,…

2023 In Books
For many years, I’ve used Goodreads to track my reading, including well before they were owned by Amazon. As is typically the case for me, I’ve deleted and recreated my account there many times over the years, with the most recent being just a couple of years ago when I decided to recreate it and…

Monaspace Font
As a computer nerd, I spend a lot of time staring at text editors and terminal windows. As a result, I like them to be both pleasing to look at and easy to read… so I spend more time than I care to think about trying out different fonts and themes to make things both…

Automatic Python Linting and Formatting in Neovim
Outside of languages that more or less require a specific IDE (looking at you, Java), I typically prefer to write code in Neovim.

There are now laser etched keychains and cocktail glasses! These turned out absurdly well. The cocktail glasses have the Geeky Blinders logo on one side…

Create JAR File With IntelliJ
I’ve recently been doing some work with Java and Groovy for the first time in a year and some change. I’ve historically done some random scripting in Groovy, but I’m now at the point where I’m making some libraries that I can use in other places and greatly simplify some areas of my (coding) life.…

Sign Git Commits With 1Password
I recently decided to stop being lazy and digitally sign my git commits, at least for the ones I do on projects for work with my work laptop. This was something that had actually been in the back of my mind for a while, but I kept forgetting about it almost as soon as I…

Full Site Editing With WordPress Twenty Twenty-Four
As I had mentioned in my inaugural post, I’ve recently been involved in WordPress again for the first time in a few years. Most of my previous theme work has been fairly pedestrian. For basically all of my previous sites I would simply design it to match the Dracula theme and call things complete from…
