The End of an Era (and the start of a new one!)
Friday the 14th of October was my last day at Highforge. Just half a month shy of 4 years I am resigning my position there to take the next step in my career. A career that has, thusfar, lacked definition. I’ve always been a bit of a “jack of all trades” and if I described…

PHP CodeSniffer, Atom, and Windows
I’ve used linters before. Specifically for JavaScript. But this will mark the first time I’m using a linter to improve my code formatting on PHP. I had heard of CodeSniffer before, and I also already knew it’s bundled with VVV. So I thought: “You know, it may be easier if I can get this working…

Bienvenidos a Miami: A recap of WordCamp Miami 2015
This WordCamp has been a number of firsts for me. It would be the first WordCamp outside of Orlando, and also the first time for me to visit Miami. It’s also the first road trip we’ve taken by ourselves as a married couple. All around good stuff. I am fully aware that this post has…

WordPress involvement: 0 to plaid in a month
Disclaimer: This post is a bit humble-braggy. You’ve been warned. People that know me will know that I’m comfortable in my little shell that allows me to do my thing in the background.

My 2014. There may be many like it, but this one’s mine.
