The Plan for 2020

I like sharing my plans with those who will listen. For example, last year I said what I was going to do in 2019, and as far as I can tell it is mission accomplished. Now my goals for 2020 are a little more structured and ambitious.. Whereas last year, I wanted to just kinda “go with the flow” and see what happens. Looking back, it went well and relatively according to plan. The first half of the year was […]

Thank you to everyone who helped with development by providing bug reports and feedback for 7G, very much appreciated. Learn more and download 7G Firewall » Want to help test 8G Firewall?

Redesign #25: Performance Over Perfection

Welcome to the 2020 (25th!) redesign for Perishable Press. Like many of the previous designs, the new design is super minimal and organic. The #1 goal this time around was to find an optimal balance between performance and aesthetics. Or put another way.. ..the least amount of code for the best possible user experience. This article goes thru the design and attempts to explain some of the techniques and thinking that went into the process. Here is an overview of […]

Weird Bug with Highlight.js

Working on adding syntax highlighting to my code snippets here at Perishable Press. To do it, I use my free WordPress plugin Prismatic. Basically all the plugin does is load up either the Highlight.js scripts and styles, or it loads up the Prism.js scripts and styles. So I can rule out the plugin itself for this “weird” little bug. The issue is with Highlight.js specifically. What happens I have this post here, for example. The post contains several pre/code elements […]

Why Facebook is Not Worth It

Recently I found myself listening to someone who was trying to convince me that I should be doing more on Facebook. For reasons like attracting new customers and making more money. It was pretty sad listening to the spiel, but I do care about people and their opinions, even when they are wrong. Note: this post is a giant rant. If you are easily offended and/or love Facebook, stop reading here and go play somewhere that is safe for you. […]

All the little .txt files you can put in the root directory of your website

The ones I know of: ads.txt humans.txt robots.txt security.txt This site makes use of robots.txt and humans.txt. I don’t need ads.txt because 3rd-party ads aren’t currently running on the site, and security.txt seems not necessary as the site’s contact form is easy enough for anyone to find. I’m guessing there are other “little text files” out there, but I am super busy building a bookstore subdomain for the site with every spare minute. So for now I’ll post the files […]
