[T]he number of papers at top journals dedicated to climate economics is miniscule.

Reading https://darekkay.com/blog/avif-images/ and, interestingly, my RSS reader shows “This image is not supported in your browser” for the WebP image, too. But it is; I’m using the latest Firefox. (What I think is happening instead, is that my reader strips away source tags.)

Considering having my “Share on Pixelfed” plugin for WordPress added to the “official” WP.org repo.

Was asked to add a social media link to a client’s site and I was pleasantly surprised to see the correct icon added in front automatically. Turns out I once wrote the three lines of JavaScript that made that happen. Turns out I also used slick—I know—to rotate (Jetpack) testimonials on the front page. I mean, a slightly tweaked CPT, a custom shortcode, and the default JS library: that’s all it took. No need for “feature-laden,” 3rd-party plugins.

No photo? Yes, I’m like that.

Assembled and stained a sandbox.

That’s not entirely correct, but whatevs.

Finally figured out what was going on with one of my WordPress plugins. It relies on Composer, you see, and to avoid version conflicts, I’d decided to give “namespace prefixing” a try. (If multiple plugins try to autoload the same class, whichever plugin is included first wins, which could cause issues if another plugin relies on a different version of said class.) With “prefixing,” though, it seems the second, identical but differently name(space)d class will not get loaded at all. (Who knew!?)

It’s silly, but I’ve been wanting to do a guitars page—or mini-site—too. Kinda like this: https://thoro.de/en/guitars/. I got started swapping out parts on a cheap Highway 1 Strat. Then horribly messed up an LP kit that I’ve long torn apart.

In case anyone out there wanted to automatically convert (some of) their wallabag bookmarks into WordPress posts (or notes, or whatever). https://github.com/janboddez/import-from-wallabag

Believe it or not, but it is possible to access a number of government services in other countries using your national eID. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/trust-services-and-eid

Actually liked reading this. I’ll also admit that I don’t quite get newsletter services, or blogging for money. Or not writing on your own site—or domain—first.

(Think I’ve) managed to further simplify my Micropub + POSSE setup. (Yay!)
