    Gurus

    Down here in Florida, we can get some crazy thunderstorms during the summers. One of them happened a couple nights ago when we were all woken up at 12AM by massive thunder and, apparently, lightning strikes right here in the neighborhood. And, it managed to take out my main internet router and our internet service…

    Some Surprises + Overcomplication

    Summer is in full gear. Down here in Florida, it is hot and humid. The kids are out of school, so no cheese wagons in the mornings. And this week, my daughter (for the first time) is gone at a camp for the entire week. It is odd having her gone, but it is a…

    Owner or Renter? + One Page Business Plan

    Well, I’m older now. 🤪 By birthday was last week. I turned 47. It was mostly a normal day, although I did give myself permission to work a little lighter that day. Plus, we went out to eat that evening. Good thing is, even though I’m older, my son is right in that age where…

    Security & Plugin Conflicts. Exciting Stuff.

    Wife and I took the new RV out over the weekend for our first evening. It was a bit of a “shake down cruise”, with testing things and making lists of things to do and buy. Definitely takes a little getting used to since this rig is smaller than our last. 10 feet shorter and…

    How To Survive AI

    Flew back home to Florida yesterday after several days out in Tempe, Arizona for PressConf. Overall, great event. Tight-knit feel to it and it was nice to be able to meet in person a lot of the movers and shakers in the world of WordPress. But, it is also so freakin’ nice to be back…

    The Most Troublesome Plugins – Fighting Spambots

    Before we dive into another stunning issue of this newsletter (yeah, I said it 🤓)… This week, I’m traveling to Arizona to attend a WordPress conference called PressConf. Should be interesting. This is actually going to be my first conference specifically for WordPress professionals. In the past, I did a lot of online marketing conferences….

    My Credit System + Me Being Dumb 🤣

    Hope you had a great weekend. On this end, it was pretty much a weekend of work on the house. Replaced over a hundred feet of wood fence and pressure washed my outside building. Don’t know about you, but I appreciate doing physical work on things to balance out being a keyboard jockey all day….
