I haven’t had any coffee for – @jan_dembowski@twitter.com, dig this – 28 days straight. Not a single drop.

*pause for effect*

Might have one later today. If you see a flash of gray zooming by, that was me in my hoodie, on a caffeine high.

Found a local Customiser study with a fun tagline. 😊

That’s a first. Got an email from the same guy, same subject: “I was hacked.”
So? I didn’t hack you, tonyd2759@hotmail.com.

Today, 16 years to the day since the @mikelittlezed1@twitter.com blog comment that sparked the project, WordPress clocks up a market share of 33.0% of the world's top 10 million websites. That's 50% more than every other identifiable CMS technology put together. https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/all

17 years. If we hadn’t met, I likely wouldn’t have gotten into ‘web design’, so I wouldn’t be here today.

I unfollowed 500+ accounts on Twitter and behold, my timeline looks meaningful.
Also, hi again, Mastodon!

Zweiter Versuch: Wer kennt eine 🐦🔁🐘-Lösung, die auch funktioniert?

In other news, I’ve just made Firefox my default browser on my phone and laptop after 8-ish years of Chrome (with one brief intermezzo of FF Developer recently).
Did a full swing and set DDGG as default search engine, and settings to clear cookies on quit.
Will continue to use Chrome for work for a while, but probably not for long.
I still use Google apps (Inbox, Calendar, Maps, Drive) for pretty much everything. But it’s a start.
