Just a short blog post I don't quite feel like writing So, here's a haiku.

Gutenberg day 5 – mobile experience
So for today's blog post I thought I would try Gutenberg on my mobile. I have to say it works pretty well. If I'm honest with myself though, not really pushing the limits of Gutenberg so tomorrow I want to try and create something more complex.
Gutenberg day 4 – New things
Today was a my first day in my new office space. Since becoming fully self employed at the beginning of 2016 I've been working mostly from home on a day to day basis. This has led to a few frustrating moments, although based on what I've seen I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this. […]
Gutenberg day 3 – Blogging every day is hard!
Who knew? I often come up with ideas and jump into them without thinking. This has been both a blessing and curse over the past 40 years of my life. This idea to blog every day for September using Gutenberg was probably just as mad, as by the time I get to the end of […]
Gutenberg – Day 2
This is probably going to be the shortest post I've ever written. I have nothing to say but I promised I would write a blog post per day for September using Gutenberg. This is that post for today. So here is a photo of myself, my wife Pamela and my son Ethan from about 3 […]
A month with Gutenberg
If you are in any way involved with WordPress and unless you've been living under a rock you're aware of the new Gutenberg editor that is currently in development. Gutenberg is what Matt and many other WordPress developers see as the future of WordPress. However, as with most new things, it's not been met with […]
2017 WordPress resolutions – mid year check in.
Late last year I wrote down my 2017 WordPress resolutions. These were the goals I set myself (for better or worse) that I would like to achieve this year. As we’re just over halfway through the year I thought it might be interesting to take a look back and see if I’ve made any headway […]
Reflections on ‘me’, version 4.0
Today I reached a milestone in my life, what is otherwise known as the ‘big 4 0’. I turned 40. It’s been a bit of a recurring joke in my household that I’ve been dreading the day, more so because I tended to make (half joking, half truthful) comments about the fact. Now that the […]
WordCamp Cape Town 2017
So last year I blogged about my list of resolutions for the new year. As with most resolutions it was a long list of the things I want to do differently in the new year, with very little grounding in reality. Reading that post now I can’t help wonder how I thought I was going […]
4 WordCamps in 4 Months
Last year at WordCamp I decided I would speak at the next one, this year I did just that. So when I heard that there would be 3 new WordCamps happening in Africa this year (one in Johannesburg, one in Nairobi and one in Harare) I decided on the spot I want to attend all […]
