Welcome to my site. It's just my random musings. All opinions are my own, and founded on a breathtaking lack of knowledge about pretty much anything.
Anyway, enjoy... if that's possible!
The way to make all conflicts worse
I have decided that all the world’s problems could be much worse. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Just accept it. Any problem can be made worse…
The solution to all conflict
I have decided that all the world’s problems have a solution. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Let’s just agree with this, shall we? Any problem can…
WordPress in crisis, continued
I’m writing this on 9th October 2024 at a time when I think that the WordPress community is facing as big of a crisis as I can remember. Things happened on this day. The purpose of writing this is so…

Hay fever
I’ve never had hay fever. Now I appear to have hay fever, and it’s brutal! I will never view the fields and the pastures and the countryside in the same way, ever again. You are now my nemesis!
