    @brod Agree. It drives me nuts that there’s no setting to hide those.


    @virtualwolf It really is! Was there about a year ago.


    @virtualwolf Where else are you going?


    @yow_oz Always! And stickers as well. 🙂

    Can anybody point me to a good article on using WordPress to create a non-blog, fairly complex information site?


    @innerfrenchgirl @lifeasdaddy Hey, thanks for getting in touch! I’m looking to rebuild https://t.co/wPCtzMM3Ls on WP. Existing site is a…


    @innerfrenchgirl @lifeasdaddy mix of static page and some DB-driven PHP scripts I’ve cobbled together. (I used to be a PHP dev.)


    @innerfrenchgirl @lifeasdaddy I’ll DM you. 🙂


    @innerfrenchgirl I used WP for the first time this year when I migrated my blog from an old self-built PHP CMS. Impressed with it so far!


    @innerfrenchgirl But RDF isn’t a blog, so just looking for tips on best practice for using WP on a non-blog. Good plugins, etc?


    @innerfrenchgirl Not for a client. Just a site I’ve run myself for nearly 20 years now! 🙂


    @asmallorange I’m suddenly getting periodic 502 Bad Gateway errors accessing my site. Are you having issues?


    @asmallorange Sorry, didn’t bother to log one. Seems to be okay now. Just wondered if there was some maintenance happening!

    No hot water or shower yet, but hey – new toilet.

    Renovation Update


  • Renovation Update

    We’re not done yet, but it definitely feels like the finish line is in sight. On Thursday the plumbers arrived to hook up the toilet, vanity, and shower. We still don’t have hot water, but at least it’s running now! A man also came by to measure up for our glass shower screen, so that’s being made this week. Then on Saturday our main contractor came back to install the new cornice as well as the remaining bits and pieces. Unfortunately we hit a snag with the medicine cabinet that’s meant to go over the toilet – it was built too big! They’ll have to make a new one. Hopefully by next week he’ll return to finish that off and hang the mirror over the vanity. (He wants to line it up with the top of the shower screen once that’s installed.)

    On the plus side, we were at least able to move back into our bedroom. (We’ve been sleeping on the foldout IKEA couch in my office for the past four weeks.) We’d covered everything in our room with drop clothes and tarps, but there was still construction dust everywhere. We vacuumed and mopped; wiped down the dressers, bed head, and walls; and washed the curtains.

    It still feels dusty.

    BUT! On Friday we also got our new reverse cycle air conditioner hooked up. Bring it on, summer. 🙂

    @rosepowell Ha! I was way ahead of this trend. Bought half dozen earlier in the year, got bored of them, and now they’re at Canva somewhere!


    @rosepowell Bought a bunch of “grown-up” colouring books off Amazon. They’re floating around the office somewhere… 🙂

    @randomknits I’ve just seen Draco this morning. How did this come about??


    @randomknits Aww. It’s a Thanksgiving miracle! 🙂


    @randomknits Amy still hates Petey’s existence.
