Spent the morning making up a new #PsychedelicSurvey specifically for seniors. Our elders already lived through the first #psychedelic revolution, so why should they be shut out of the #microdosing one? #WorkJournal
Extremely buoyed by the positive feedback received from the first friend to read a short sample of my book. Tomorrow I'm showing my site to another friend and am hoping for the same. This feels like actual, real world progress and I feel awesome about it. #WorkJournal
Reader, she has no more 404s on her site! It's still not *beautiful* but it is nimble and has places for all the stuff I want to put there and all the links sitewide go where they are supposed to go. A few things still to complete in my punch list, but #ShroomChooser dot com is inching ever closer to being live! #N00bWebmasterProblems definitely demand #N00bWebmasterSolutions, like "when in doubt, just take a flamethrower to irksome #WordPress plugins." #WorkJournal
Back in February #Yoast recognized that "Since El0n Mu5k’s takeover of Twitter, many people have moved to the popular open-source alternative, #Mastodon," yet if we want Mastodon integration on our #WordPress sites, we still have to pay for #YoastPremium. How I love being expected to pay what is essentially an anti-N*zi fee just to get the profile I actually use integrated on my site. Gross, Yoast. Get your minds right. https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-february-7-2023/#utm_source=yoast-seo&utm_medium=software&utm_campaign=wordpress-general&utm_content=wordpress-dashboard #N00bWebmasterProblems #WorkJournal #birdsite #BS
ALL MY SITE'S #WORDPRESS UPDATES ARE COMPLETE. It is functioning within normal parameters. There is joy in olde Vancouver town. So grateful for that friendly toot from @sterndata that rescued my workday from the rubbish heap. Bonus: the #WordPressDeveloper friend who was trying to help me via FB has also taken notes about that borked Astra Starter Templates plugin with gratitude and will be avoiding it like the plague in future. #WorkJournal #N00bWebmasterSolutions
As we know, insanity is trying the same thing and expecting a different result, so yes I AM trying the updates yet again, and yes I CAN stretch the sleeves of this cardigan into a straitjacket. #WorkJournal
I have no idea why the #WordPress updates keep failing. I'm working from a previous version of my site but it's still grinding to a halt every time I try to do the basic maintenance. No idea why shit keeps getting borked every time I try to update. No information is being given to me. Now flailing around in the dark trying to understand even the most basic first step to fix something I spent months setting up. How did this get so messed up? I'm getting demoralized & dejected. Ugh. #WorkJournal
Just for kicks I am attempting to restore a backup of my possibly borked #WordPressWebsite that I have not yet been able to update. Mondays, amirite? Wish me luck. #N00bWebmasterProblems #WorkJournal
A fairly common #ADHDProblem is that because of our #ExecutiveFunction issues, folks with #ADHD often don't know what "done" is supposed to look like on a given project or task, rendering most things an amorphous blob with no obvious avenues of attack. Book structure however, can just be googled, so I checked how many pages should typically be in a #NonFiction preface, introduction and chapter & I'm thrilled to find that I'm well over halfway through #writing each of those things! #WorkJournal
FYI, you don’t have to be a participant in my #psilocybin #microdose #PsychedelicResearch study to share stories that will be helpful to the book I'm #writing! Tell me about a time when you *thought* you were taking a mild #MagicMushroom dose, but you definitely WEREN'T. How did things turn out??
(You can always DM if you'd prefer not to comment publicly, and your private info will of course be kept confidential if used in the final manuscript.) #PsychedelicWellness #ShroomChooser #WorkJournal
When you're feeling good about the number of #MagicMushroom strains you've been able to test for your book, and then you see one online [Canadian] dispensary that has a jaw-dropping *91* strains on offer. Good lordt. I thought I was making progress, but we might be here a while. Time to aggressively remind myself what my goals are and what my framework is with this #PsychedelicResearch before I get overwhelmed by what I logistically can't address yet. #PsychedelicWellness #WorkJournal #writing
