So I need to migrate a WordPress / WooCommerce and it is not proving easy. I have tried the premium versions of Backup Guard and Duplicator and neither plugin has allowed me to migrate the site successfully. I am talking with their respective support teams now but the fact that neither worked out of the […]

I’m silly and keep forgetting where it is ☺️… Maybe make it blue or red or something?
A little Awk
Awk is a command for doing things with text files. We give it a text file and it can do an action on each line. So we can print the whole line, or part of the line, or reorder parts. As a simple example, here’s a CSV of people’s last name, first name, age, and […]

Numeronyms make Awful Names
a16z – Andresson Horowitz. I don’t hear/use this often enough to remember it, so completely forget what it stands for a11y – Accessibility. I come across this all the time, yet can never remember what word it is short for. Yet I link ‘a11y’ to the concept of accessibility. My issue with this is possibly […]
Sass Regrex
I was writing some large blocks of repetitive text in SCSS. Had some colors defined, and we wanted to group them in color-ranges, like this. So we started with with: $green-50: #f1fdf6; $green-100: #dcf5e7; $green-200: #b3e6c8; $green-300: #75d09b; $green-400: #37b96d; $green-500: #1aaa55; $green-600: #168f48; $green-700: #12753a; $green-800: #0e5a2d; $green-900: #0a4020; $green-950: #072b15; We want to […]
