Look #Microsoft I find your constant Copilot reminders in every menu and application a bit much, get over yourself.

I wish I could use #Linux at work. 🐧

Here's another dose of Automattic stupidity for the weekend #WordPress

To recalibrate and ensure our efforts are as impactful as possible, Automattic will reduce its sponsored contributions to the WordPress project.

Apparently no person was responsible for sending out these two alerts twenty minutes apart yesterday, January 9. Which begs the question, what automated policy or service allows for such a notice to go out to presumably the millions of devices in the Los Angeles area.

Blaming technology is not acceptable, if a policy is in place and you are responsible for its management, it's your error.

I don’t have a #fountainpen ink problem, I have a solution. At least 400ml of the best ink I’ve ever used. Everyone should have a bottle of this one on their desk.

Journaling by a battery powered LED light from a Christmas decoration during a public safety power shutdown. I'm in San Dimas CA and safe with my #fountainpen Traveler's Notebook and a cold mug of tea.

I have a feeling WPTavern is auto blocking me from sharing my bland, and they are bland, opinions in their comments section.

I leave a single comment on a few dot org log-in requirement posts, it enters moderation, and never appears on the site.

All those years contributing my free time and labor to a project that discards my thoughts because they don't support the founder's opinion.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

[#]Automattic and the #WordPress project leadership continues to make the worst possible decisions while they spiral to become irrelevant.

We don't need generative artificial intelligence to have an idea; only pen, ink, paper and a few minutes.

Rough draft for an anti-phishing campaign idea: Be phishing alert.

I wrote an open letter to Matt Mullenweg; he'll probably never read it. Either way, time to burn that proverbial bridge.

Yesterday I exported seven years of personal WP blog content from a backup. Glad I did that locally, it would have eaten all my available web storage. The WordPress to Hugo Exporter is fantastic!

Next steps, researching how themes are built and populated.

This is insulting. #Automattic and Matt needs to be removed from the project if #WordPress has a future. I shouldn't ever have to promise an affiliation to anyone for any reason. I might as well log in and delete my profile.

Interior: I open a new tab in the web browser and visit Twitter, redirected to X, chuckle silently, that's cute. The site eventually loads and I'm presented with an ad featuring Tony Robbins. Laughing audibly I close the tab only to return the next time I need to do something for work. #twitter

Admittedly the sketch with my Pilot Prera and Bliackwing pencil isn't as great as iPad Apple Pencil version in Adobe Fresco, but it took far less time and was more enjoyable to create.

Yes I have an art degree in graphic design, and yes, most of that time was spent coding websites instead of drawing. 😂

Does it count as "back to school" shopping when you're staff and there every week all year? #FountainPen #JetPens
