  • On that Playwright thing

    by

    in

    WordPress started using Playwright for end to end testing some time back. This was noted on a post here. This is actually one thing that I really do want to mess around and really tinker with more and more since I know at work I’ll be doing some examples as well. There is code involved…

  • Checking out a RetroArch folder

    by

    in

    The other day I was tinkering around with RetroPie and some of the settings and configuration files. Yeah, I broke a few things but was able to get things back in order because I deleted the contents of a file that gets generated at a certain point. It was fine. One of the reasons I…

  • Database hiccup

    by

    in

    Earlier today, I had a mild heart attack only because I broke the site a little bit. In my usual routine of just checking things I updated my computer, then went and connected to the server of this site. Simple and easy as I’ve done many times now. As I stared at the command line,…

  • QMK on Ubuntu

    by

    in ,

    Today I managed to get my Chromebook setup to use QMK. This has been a great ordeal. Okay, not really but I did have to read a few things in order to actually get it all running. The good part is that it is running so I don’t have to do much now. Some people…

  • Python code again

    by

    in

    The other day I wanted to dive back to doing random Python code because it’s been so long since I’ve looked over any of it and because I had a random subdomain that I setup to use Django to tinker with. That didn’t last very long. I tried to update the project only break a…

  • Another rabbit hole

    by

    in

    Well the other day I was chatting online and there was a mention of learning something new by somebody. Because of course there was. I made note of never looking at this new thing and wanted to learn more about it, because it did sound interesting to me. This new thing is Device Tree Syntax.…

  • Random thought about queries

    by

    in

    The other day a random thought sort of popped in my head. Yes, it happens and I have a good laugh about it too. The random thought was why queries can be slow and how to find them. Now, there are several resources out there and let’s be honest here it could be a little…

  • Random code spelunking

    by

    in

    Today I decided to dive into how blocks are created and rendered and modified within WordPress. Why? Because I like break things when I can. Today was no exception. I got a little frustrated because my browser was being super strange when it came to rendering my admin area but that had nothing to do…

  • The Gutenberg plugin and the menu

    by

    in

    For quite some time I have been using the latest version of the Gutenberg plugin because I like to torture myself apparently. Ever since that plugin was introduced there has been a menu item that would drive me a little crazy at times. I’m sure some have seen it too and probably still have that…

  • Code dives

    by

    in

    It’s been a really long time since I’ve done one and I think it’s time I do another. This next one will be more on the JavaScript side because it was one of the first languages I learned so it would be nice to go back those roots. The other reason is also because I…
