This is a (VERY) simple and rudimentary API for Picoblog.

This text summarization experiment is(/was?)

This is a quick snippet I already wrote about under Image Optimization but decided to revisit in order to make it totally image-less (in the placeholder state).

Saisho Edit is a very simple (in harmony with Saisho) post editor for Saisho.

2020 is now over.

It seems like I was looking for a new job just recently, and somehow to my dismay, I found myself doing the exact same thing, again, just last week.

You know how they say the best way to learn something is to teach it?

I wrote briefly (or not so briefly) about microblogging just recently and while the microblog code will probably be added to Saisho, I've decided to also make it available as standalone as I realize not everyone might be using Saisho.

This entry is just me thinking out loud and trying to make a case for microblogging.

In my previous rant about web bloat I briefly spoke about image sizes and incorrect image usage and what you can do to either reduce it or make your visitors' life easier.

I try and find inspiration in everything, hence compiling a list of links that I find inspiration in or use on a constant (or not) basis is not an easy task (for me).

I don't write nearly as enough as I should, so I've decided that I'm going to share any progress updates and what went into making them of some of my publicly available projects, like Saisho.

This entry (and collection of links) is a continuation of Pursuing Speed, Pt. 2 which you can read for context.

My day job requires me to perform troubleshooting on customer issues, some of which may include trying to understand what might be wrong in an API request payload.

Note: Nothing in this article/rant is meant to offend anyone.

Continuing my rambling about pursuing minimalism, I'd like to also say a few words about speed having "finished" rewriting my own website engine, once again.

Preface¶ This whole thing is my personal experience and is probably an incorrect or ineffective (let alone the code itself being a fucking mess) way of doing things.

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

I'm not an artsy person.

Some of you may know that I was recently fired.

日の出 (Hinode) is a clean, minimal and bright theme for Bludit.

Shigoto is a minimalistic todo.txt parser and manager.

Why did I make Saisho?

This is a new template for Saisho called Muji (temporary name).

A little while ago, I wrote a very simple and small WordPress plugin1 (we're talking 1597 bytes of actual code, or 1128 bytes if we were to remove CSS) that answered a very specific requirement.

Minimalism is a tricky subject as it's very personal - your interpretation of minimal may differ from mine, as may it's execution.

Saishō is a very simple and quick semi-static website "generator" built in PHP.

Micro (μ) is a minimalist, responsive theme for Bludit.

This is a webpage is probably the cause of all of these.

Part of my job as a support engineer (Tier 3 Support, whatever that means.. advanced support, in short) includes coming up with things.

Bludit Boilerplate is nice, but what if I'm real fucking lazy?

Bludit Boilerplate.

Another year passed and another year begins.

Following my FastCGI Cache Purge plugin for Bludit, I've been asked how FastCGI cache is even configured for Bludit.

This plugin uses ngx_cache_purge to purge cached pages by GETting the modified/deleted post using the given format.

After updating the Sony Headphones app on my phone that is responsible for the bells and whistles of my WH-1000 XM3 headphones, I've noticed a new feature called 360 Reality Audio Setup.

This simple, tiny, plugin was born out of necessity and will allow you to embed posts in other posts in WordPress.

In case you are using Yotpo Reviews for WooCommerce (a.k.a version 2), you have probably noticed that Shortcodes for Yotpo no longer work.

So what is YRFW exactly?

Want to use Yotpo widgets in page builders?

This is a very simple logger class that was written to be used with the updated Yotpo WooCommerce Plugin It's one of those things I've decided to write as I navigate the swamp that is learning PHP.
