I released my newest WordPress plugin, Basic Copyright, on the plugin repository last night. Its sole purpose is to make a dynamic copyright notice available for your theme footer so you don’t have to change the copyright notice yearly. Super simple, but kind of useful.
Interestingly, after starting meds a couple of weeks ago, my eyesight seems to have suddenly gotten worse by a significant amount. My computer glasses are no longer working whereas they’ve been perfect for more than a year. 🤓
By nature, I am a procrastinator. I’ll let something sit until the 11th hour if I can. But when I finally do complete the task, there’s always such a sense of relief. Maybe I do it intentionally for the dopamine fix?
The change to daylight savings messes with me in the worst way; more so than most. I have no idea why… It’s only an hour. Add stopping caffeine intake, and it’s making it particularly difficult to adjust to this year. 🥱
After further research on AFib, I’ve come to the decision it’s best to stop all alcohol and caffeine intake completely. There goes my last remaining vices. Beer, I will miss you dearly, especially the good IPAs. 🫡
I am happy to report that after a week of very little caffeine and beer, and zero refined sugar, I feel 1,000% better than I did seven days ago.
Hot on the heels of updating my WordPress plugin today, I also updated my Tinylytics for Micro.blog plugin to add the feature of being able to add a custom public stats link label if you use the footer embed. You should see the update available in your plugins list soon. Enjoy!
I’m considering either buying the new M3 MacBook Air 13” or the Mac mini, which is still only M2. Has anyone heard if the mini will be M3 soon?
On The Fragility of Life
Events happen in our lives that make us do a full stop and give a long, hard look at how things are. This was one of those events that slapped me in the face so hard I’m still having a hard time grasping it.
Add me to the list of Apple Watch wearers who were saved from a life threatening event. My watch alerted me to an AFib event that sent me to the ER yesterday. The cardiologist told me if I’d ignored the warning, it might have lead to a stroke, or even death. A sobering 24 hours to say the least…
📷 We visited the lowest bar in the western hemisphere last weekend in Bombay Beach, CA which sits nearly 200 feet below sea level. Beers were had.

I’ve been away from Micro.blog for a bit… Dropping in to share that I’ve updated my Tinylytics for WordPress plugin to v1.0.4 v1.0.6, fixing some minor bugs. If you use it on your WordPress site, update in your plugin dashboard at your convenience.
After decades as a Mac user, I just now discovered cmd + = (cmd + equals) and cmd + – (cmd + minus) increase and decrease icon preview sizes in a Finder window. Where the heck have I been? 🤯
Woohoo! Surprised to have gotten the initial email from the WordPress plugin review team on my Tinylytics plugin today. Lots of things to fix, but they’re all pretty simple. TBH, the review came back better than I thought it would for being my first attempt at a WordPress plugin.
