I have long meant to get around to making a countdown timer page. It’s a handy thing to have for workshops and for workouts or pomadoro/productivity. There have been enough options out there that kept me from doing it. This pomadoro one is actually really nice. I could also link to a point in the […]

I’ve been working on an OER textbook project for some number of years. It is in Pressbooks. The latest issue has been that the textbook was imported to the grant provider’s site and for some reason the glossary terms are all set to private. There is no bulk edit option to publicize them and there […]
I supported the creation of a PressBooks OER textbook at VCU. It’s now getting published as part of a VIVA grant. As part of that, the book is imported into the central VIVA PressBooks site. They reached out to me indicating that the image links for WP media links were failing on the VIVA site. […]
I’ve blogged a number of times over the years about minimizing the complexity that’s exposed in WordPress’s dashboard. I’ve done that in a couple different ways. The Gravity Forms-driven front end where you avoid WP’s dashboard entirely is one path. The other way was to just remove stuff that’s like irrelevant to different groups. I […]
I’ve been meaning to get all the stuff that used to be automated to Twitter to work with Mastodon. I took about 15 minutes1 after reading a Mastodon-related post from Alan to mess around and see what I could figure out. Now I’ve got 15 minutes to write it down. Consider that half an hour […]

I put together a mix of HTML and CSS on top of the basic bootstrap stuff that Catalog comes with. Unfortunately, that meant I was a choke point in creating new course listings. While we’re […]

I still use Sublime when I’m not using VS Code. This isn’t the best idea but I do it anyway. One of the things I like about both programs is being able to create little shortcuts to create code I write a lot. It speeds things up and makes me more consistent. Both programs let […]

As part of the AI Detox, people are cutting and pasting AI/Human conversations from a little font-end chatbot I made with the ChatGPT 4 API. The responses are just in rich text for downloading/saving. The conversations look something like this. The “speaker” is automatically prepended.1 AI: Some weird sentence. Human: Some response. AI: I don’t […]
As usual, just knocking out the hit titles! Canvas Catalog just doesn’t have much in terms of options. That’s been tricky for us. We do a number of odd things. We’re getting around this so far by using the ability to put custom javascript at the catalog or sub-catalog level. It’s not what I dream […]
