On my site I have two forms. One is just a random one I created and the other is a contact form used for – you guessed it – contacting me. Over time I’ve gotten a few random ones that make me laugh only because of the content they contained.
The ones that really made me laugh were those which mentioned sleep deprivation. I don’t know why those really made me laugh but they did. I think a lot of that was because for a few years I was working two jobs that required me to be sleeping for a few hours at a time.
They were, of course, quickly disregarded. There was one who wanted to write a post on my site about it and that really took the cake. It really was like they don’t read my posts or the form in general because they used WordPress Support as the reason for contacting me.
Life related
On a bit of a side note and I guess very much WordPress related, I will be at WordCamp Sacramento this year as the Volunteer Organizer. Some already knew that and some didn’t. What I haven’t really said to others is that I’m looking to be the lead organizer for next year.
I’m a little nervous and very much scared to take that leap but I think this is something I need to do. Not so much for myself but for our local community.
The other, possibly, random thing is that I began working on a small quilt for my kiddo. I still have to cut up the fabrics and make sure I’ll have enough because I can’t for the life of me decide what pattern to make. I just know I will be using some fabrics he liked the patterns to.
Code related
This week I did a bit of an exercise for WP Rocket and it challenged me a little because I used Vim to edit everything. Yes, I really want to get more comfortable using that. I mainly use Sublime Text but when I can, I use Vim to make changes. A lot of that is because I like using the command line a lot more lately.
The fun part was looking at the code and getting familiar on how all the things worked. What I don’t understand is how I managed to get it all to work without having read any of the documentation. I looked at three files and began to look over the filters and hooks.
I know last week I mentioned reading things on JavaScript and using it to make a quick script. This week it wasn’t so much. I also need to be a little heads down since I want to finish the pull request I began for the Health Check plugin. It reads the .htaccess file and outputs some information for the user. It will only do it if the file is readable because it needs to get the contents and check for WordPress rules.
