In anticipation of next week’s Reclaim book club, which is starting on December 01 and being hosted by the lovely Amanda Schmidt, I’ve reinstalled Zotero. Zotero, if you’re not familiar, is a tool for collecting articles, web pages, and anything else you may want to save or cite down the road — designed for scholarship,…

Revisiting Git & GitHub So as luck would have it, a couple of things have dovetailed in my work recently. In my last blog post, I talked about the experiments I’ve been doing with HTML & CSS, building site files directly instead of using WordPress or another application. Ideally I’d like to learn more about…

In the midst of learning about containers and PHP (no blogging on that yet) and daydreaming about how to put together my own PHP/JavaScript site/application/what-have-you that’s a tool exactly tailored to what I need, I decided to go back to basics: HTML, CSS, and nothing else. I’ve messed around with HTML and CSS before, but…

Just using this space quickly to type up some thoughts about Week 1 of the containers workshop we hosted in July. For a variety of reasons I’m only now getting the opportunity to work through the exercises, one week at a time, so here we go. Week 1 covered an introduction to containers: what they…

For the month of June, I’m participating in Reclaim’s Gravity Forms flex course, where we’re learning about the tool Gravity Forms and how to use it to accomplish great things. So I’m recording some of my plans in the hopes of laying them out a little more clearly for myself. If I know what I…

One of my ongoing responsibilities at Reclaim is to curate and put together the Reclaim Roundup, our monthly newsletter that collects all of the announcements, blog posts, new support documentation, event resources, and staff picks, and sends them to…

Impetus So recently (not that recently) we were setting up the first edition of Reclaim’s monthly newsletter, the Reclaim Roundup. We weren’t just talking about what content would go into it, or how to structure that content, though we were doing that too — we were also doing all the mechanical bits, like getting Ghost…

So in my last post, I mentioned offhand towards the end that I was experimenting with running Ghost on Reclaim Cloud, and while it was working all right, I was running into this error when I tried to update to the latest version: Essentially, I started with the default one-click installer of Ghost, which is…

I actually did this work on Friday, but I didn’t have the opportunity to write it up – just took a couple of notes so I could put this out today. As of Friday, I’ve figured out, at least for now, how I want to store and retrieve dates. When I retrieve dates, I want…

So it’s been a while since I’ve made a blog post, but I’ve been working on my wordcounter/writing tracker app, and what I’ve been tooling around with recently is the question: how do I track information across sessions? By which I mean, if I run the program in Terminal once, how do I make sure…
