    Does anyone else try to type “exit” in the browser bar instead of just…closing it?

    Just me?

    We’re hittin’ the road again this weekend. That’s a bit of a process with the things we’ve done to the camper so-far. We’re actually thinking about selling the plot we’re on, too.

    Taos is absolutely amazing, but we don’t feel at home here.

    Surprise! (or not).

    I’ve been wondering about this for a bit. Alpine is really cool but since it’s not built into WordPress core I worry about the possibility of version collisions between plugins.

    I have so many things changing in my life all at once right now. Some are my doing, others are completely out of my control. I have been feeling pretty overwhelmed lately.

    Can’t wait until all of these things pass.

    Okay, tell me what you think my enneagram is, and I’ll tell you what I think yours is. GO

    So we’ve basically stopped buying snack food. Doesn’t change the fact that I freaking miss crackers.

    So I’m trying an oat pulp/wheat flour home made cracker dough. Let’s see how it goes. Current mix:

    282 g oat pulp
    282 g flour (wheat)
    6 g salt
    160 g water

    That wraps it up for today. I updated the boilerplate with a few quality of life improvements, but most importantly, I’ve created a way to clear a session’s cache by setting a cookie in the browser.

    Sometimes, I suddenly realize “holy shit, I’m harnessing the power of a freaking STAR to keep my laptop charged.”

    Solar energy is the coolest freaking thing, isn’t it?

    I’m excited about this PR. It makes it possible to extend the logic to decide when Nicholas should load a page using compatibility mode.

    It uses an Underpin decision list, so the decision result is cached, and logged for debugging purposes.

    Update on water usage:

    We’ve used 900 gallons of water in 65 days.

    We’re averaging about 14 gallons per day for a family of four. This includes showers, laundry, drinking water, dishes, a tiny garden, the whole gamut.

    I’ve really enjoyed pushing this envelope.
