Paying down technical debt…
After the update to wordpress 4.4 beta, activating a certain plugin caused wordpress to fail, delivering empty pages. After fixing that, I’m going back through to test a few things to be sure stuff is back to ok.
Indieweb Audit
At indiewebcamp, and my first step is to audit all the stuff I have and find the holes and any problems.

Back to the Hack
I took a break this afternoon while my old friend Cliff was here with his kids. Cliff and I fiddled with the repair project on my old turntable (more about that later) while the kids played my piano and guitar and took some photos of the horses. Now I’m back into the WordPress hacking to…
