Siren Affiliates

  • That wraps it up for today. I updated the #nearlyheadless 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. #WordPress github.com/nicholas-wordp…

  • 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. #WordPress github.com/nicholas-wordp…

  • 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.

  • Replace “rum” with “coffee” and you basically have the question I ask myself every morning at approximately 10 AM.

  • My favorite thing about the decision list loader is that it caches the result. If the same decision is called more than once in a single request, the decision list will automatically skip all of the logic and just give the result. #WordPress github.com/Underpin-WP/de…

  • npm i -g npm

  • I opened an account with @AxosBank and two support people have literally hung up on me. Because I travel, I’ve fallen through the cracks of their system and now I’m unable to get my debit cards. Haven’t had access to my money for 14 days now. Any suggestions for an online bank?

  • The RV life burnout is a real thing. I’m so, so ready to make a change. It’s amazing, life-changing but eventually you just kind of wake up and say “ya know, I think I’m finally all travelled out right now.” Feeling this pretty hard this week.

  • I’ve started blocking people who keep popping up in my feed because they’re posting things solely for engagement. It’s driving me insane. It’s always the same people, doing the same crap, and offering little of substance in the process.
