Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • Use Bootswatch themes with Museum Core to “skin” your site

    I did a writeup on Museum Themes on how to use Bootstrap 3 themes with Museum Core (which this site uses) to get new “skins” for the Core theme. Note: I wouldn’t have even thought of this if it wasn’t for Shawn Wildermuth‘s Bootstrap 3 course on Pluralsight. If you want to check it out, I…

  • New Pluralsight Course: User Roles & Capabilities in WordPress

    I’ll tell you a secret: up until a few months ago, user roles and permissions in WordPress were a vast, unexplored land of confusing terms (capabilities and — gasp — meta capabilities) and complex relationships. I didn’t know much, but I did know that if you were playing with new user roles or capabilities and messed up…

  • Halloween 2013 mixtape

    I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this this year, but both my Twitter buds — Colin and Geoff — did Halloween singles this year, so I figured I had to make a mixtape that featured them. This also has some spooky side-projects of Colin’s as well as some other stuff I don’t…

  • This just in: Mashable op-ed states the obvious

    In a ridiculous, duh-inducing article, author Chris Taylor explains how Apple doesn’t make money on apps because their product focus is in hardware. *crickets* This profound insight should surprise exactly no one as anyone who has observed Apple anytime in the last 10 years or so, or — as the author pointed out — pretty…

  • ▶ Slighter – Outbreak (Halloween 2013) [DOWNLOAD!] by SLIGHTER

    Slighter brings us a fiendishly excellent track for Halloween, a zombie-infused breakbeat track called “Outbreak” (get it? there’s a pun in there…). The track opens with a moody sound collage and dark ambient intro that reminds me of old school Skinny Puppy. Check it out and download it now!

  • Longtime BitTorrent search engine, isoHunt closing its doors

    Bowing out from isoHunt isoHunt was one of the longest running torrent-related sites. Unlike other sites, isoHunt previously evaded lawsuits by never actually hosting any torrent files, instead aggregating links from various external sites and serving as a search engine.

  • John Cage – Williams Mix

    People like to think that Skinny Puppy were pioneers in creating what was eventually known as Industrial Music. But pieces like this by John Cage (which pre-dates Puppy and Einsturzende Neubauten by about 30 years) is where Industrial’s real origins lie. I still want a recording of “Imaginary Landscape No. 4”, but barring that, here’s…
