  Misc Notes And Recent Updates Last night I posted my 2020 piece for Burn All Books’ Riso anthology Sundays Quarterly 5 with the theme of “ALTERNATIVE FUTURES.” My comic predates the Marvel and DC cinematic multiverses by mere months. It’s 60 years later than the comics multiverses. In this timeline. And this morning I just posted my comic “Silence”. I...

  Bits and Pieces Programming The Photos page was an instance of Gallery I originally installed 20 years ago. I was never quite happy with the way it was presented. The last update I made was maybe 10 years ago, moving it out of Gallery and using the database tables to drive something hand-rolled. Yesterday I was able to remove...

  Viridian was science fiction writer Bruce Sterling’s effort to report on and think about climate change and what design might do about it. He declared himself “Pope-Emperor” of Viridian. With 500 Viridian Notes over 10 years, from 1998 to 2008, he wrote, and I learned about climate science, news on extreme weather and design across the planet. It was terrifying, edifying, and inspirational. I entered 5 Viridian Design contests. Never won, but these were great exercises for my developing Illustrator, PhotoShop and web skills. This is “Greeny Megawatt” a modernized Reddy Kilowatt. As part of revisiting EVERYTHING on my site artlung dot com I’ve updated the pages they live on and integrated them into my #WordPress custom theme. Fun time capsule.

  During my sabbatical I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve done is made it easier to create new pages on my website at artlung dot com. I use #WordPress with a theme and plugins I wrote myself. I’ve got 20 years of posts and photos and it’s easy for it to get lost. So yesterday I made a page that I can update periodically, and as I add new cosplays, for example with a hashtag of #qcosplay it will show up on this page. My intent is to show off more of my PHP development, comics, drawings, and toy robots this way. As much as I appreciate Instagram, I wish it were easier to do this kind of thing for my posts on IG, but a website YOU control is the only way to control the way you present yourself and whether you can reach people you’d like to reach.

  Autocomplete Results for Search A site with a lot of content: photos and text, needs good search. To that end I spent the day adding autocomplete to the site for all the places search exists. I was unaware that the jQuery UI suite was included and could be queued in WordPress. Or maybe I had forgotten. wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-autocomplete', '', array('jquery-ui-core',...

  Gravatar WordPress verification for self-hosted WordPress Gravatar is doing something interesting and ambitious with their icon site. For a long time it’s been the place you can update a pictorial avatar in one place and have it propagate to things like GitHub, Slack and others. Now they are allowing you to “verify” links associated with that account by doing authentication flows...

  How many words? Whither Blog Drafts? I’ve been playing with aggregate data on this blog for a while. I like to see what it all adds up to. The above sentences are dynamic. They will be up-to-date as long as this is a dynamically powered website. They work because I added a WordPress [shortcode] to this post. It runs some code...
