How I Reach My Server From Anywhere: Remote Control, Jump Desktop, and Tailscale

Published: June 06, 2026Leave a Comment

I keep my real work on one machine: a server that runs my whole AI setup. It holds everything: the projects, the keys, the local agents, the horsepower. I do not work on it directly. I log into it remotely from whatever light device I have with me, the kind that stores almost nothing of […]

How I Organise My Digital Life

Published: May 06, 2026Leave a Comment

Every few months, someone asks me what apps I use to stay organized. Usually after seeing a screenshot of my desktop or hearing me reference something I scanned three years ago that I can actually find in seconds. The honest answer is that my system took years of false starts. I’ve been through the Evernote-for-everything […]

How to Back Up Your Claude Code Setup to the Cloud

Published: April 26, 2026Leave a Comment

pCloud Backup choked on my dev directory. Hundreds of “doesn’t have permissions to upload this item” errors, all on .part files inside node_modules, dist, and .next build outputs. The errors weren’t really about permissions. pCloud was racing the build tools, trying to upload files that disappeared between scan and transfer. That kicked off a rethink […]

Last updated: May 23, 2026Leave a Comment

Docker container engine logo — the container platform that powers tools like wp-env, DDEV, and DevKinsta for WordPress development

Local WP is a lovely desktop app. Docker is a whole ecosystem of WordPress dev tools — wp-env, DDEV, DevKinsta, Lando. They solve different problems. Pick the wrong one and you’ll fight your tooling; pick the right one and it just flows. Here’s how I decide.

WordPress Themes Are Becoming Irrelevant (For Some of Us)

Published: April 08, 2026Leave a Comment

Minimal workspace with laptop and coffee

I spent the better part of a week evaluating WordPress themes for a site rebuild. I compared Elementor, Bricks Builder, Ollie, Kadence, and GeneratePress. I watched demos, read documentation, tested pattern libraries, poked at header builders. And somewhere in the middle of it, I had a thought I couldn’t shake: why am I doing any […]

The Fastest Video Creation Stack (iPhone + Mac)

Published: April 02, 2026Leave a Comment

Most people massively overcomplicate video creation. They search for a single tool that does everything: recording, editing, captions, podcast production, social clips, YouTube videos, and tutorials. The result is usually a slow workflow and lots of friction. A much better approach is to use a small stack of tools where each one does a specific […]

Published: March 15, 2026Leave a Comment

Warehouse with product inventory and shipping boxes

Most conversations about feed aggregation in WordPress orbit the same use case: pulling in blog posts, news items, curated content. That’s useful, and I’ve written about it separately. But if you run a WooCommerce store, or you’re building ecommerce tooling on WordPress, the more interesting territory is product data. Product feeds. Supplier catalogs. Affiliate networks. […]

Your WooCommerce Store’s Blog Is Probably Dead. Here’s How RSS Feeds Can Fix That.

Last updated: April 01, 2026Leave a Comment

The blog on most WooCommerce stores is either dead or posting once every six weeks. That’s not a content strategy. It’s a placeholder. I get why it happens. Running a store is already a full-time job. Writing takes time, and the ROI on content feels distant compared to the immediacy of ad campaigns or email […]
