  • Crawling back to DreamHost

    2 years ago, I left DreamHost because of an issue that turned for the worse when I tried contacting support. This weekend, I started the slow migration back. Here’s the thing. I’ve been extremely happy with the support I’ve gotten from my current host, HostingMatters, which I was referred to by @tenthmuse. But I have…

  • Valentine’s Day Mixtape

    Today I went to Everyone’s Mixtape and made a Valentine’s Day mixtape for my wonderful, amazing, inspiring wife and partner of 11 years.

  • Hello, Ziggy

    Hello, Ziggy

    I’ve had this plugin installed on a number of my sites for a while now. It’s not much, in fact, it was my very first plugin, ever. I finally decided to upload it to the WordPress.org repository. I’m talking, of course, of my Hello Dolly fork, Hello Ziggy. All it does is adds a bit of…

  • Hallowe’en: what we’re celebrating

    Since I get a kick out of digging into the history of such things (like I did for Valentine’s Day a couple of years ago), and since I — being a recovering goth, former Catholic, and damn heretic — know a few things on the subject, I thought it would be fun to look at…
