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.

  • There I go again…

    So, today the WordPress 3.8 Admin Help team met up in #wordpress-sfd — a fact that I would have forgotten entirely about had I not been at my computer coding at the time . Siobhan and one other made the meeting. That was fine. You may recall I mentioned something a while ago about getting involved…

  • I’m speaking at WCSLC

    I’m presenting again at WordCamp SLC. This time on internationalization in WordPress, something fresh on my mind from having just finished my last Pluralsight course on the same topic.

  • What I’m working on: building a plugin for book reviews

    What I’m working on: building a plugin for book reviews

    Last year, I met with some of the peeps from the Open Classroom‘s School Library (and Library Committee) to come up with ideas for how the Open Classroom website could better serve them.

  • Update Shaming

    I wrote a plugin, inspired by my wife, which is designed to give you dirty looks for pages you haven’t updated recently. It’s actually functional, because it gives you a rundown of your oldest content by last modified date. And it does stuff like this: Check it out.

  • Twenty Fourteen

    Twenty Fourteen

    This year, I’ve made it a goal to get more involved in WordPress. Not just peripheral, documentation projects, not just committing plugins and themes to the repository, but also contributing (in whatever form it takes) to core. And, okay, there’s an ulterior motive at work — 3.8 is the release that Matt is leading. So I…

  • WordPress, Genericons, Jetpack and you

    Here’s something I learned the hard way today. If you are using Genericons in your WordPress theme, and you’re enqueueing it like this: wp_register_style(‘genericons’,get_template_directory_uri().’/genericons/genericons.css’,false,$theme[‘Version’]); wp_enqueue_style( ‘genericons’ ); …you’re going to run into problems if Jetpack is enabled, because Jetpack uses the same method. Normally this wouldn’t be that much of an issue, but their version of…

  • WordCamp San Francisco 2013

    This year I went to WordCamp San Francisco. I didn’t take any pictures, but here’s one found on the WP Armchair stream where you can sort of make out my bald head. You can tell it’s me ’cause the water bottle. This isn’t going to be an exhaustive post. I’m glad I went but (and…
