2021


The year of the water tiger

31 December 2021

This year was a bit of a bovine one. Not a great year. Brexit is going badly, as expected. I spent my second birthday in lockdown, and something tells me next year will be my third. We did three vaccines for COVID-19, and it looks like wèll be doing more....


And we got rid of this Christmas too

26 December 2021

As usual, there were too many gifts under the tree, but thanks to everyone who gave them to us. More than any other year, I realized how much I love giving gifts, more than receiving them; I will equip myself for next year. The new year is approaching, and I...


Welcome, Very Peri

Block some plugins from updating in WordPress

11 October 2021

In this example, the update is blocked for Akismet and Classic Editor, but it can be used with any plugin. Don’t do this unless you have no alternatives. /** * Block some plugins from updating * * @param array $parsed_args * @param string $url * * @return array * @throws...


No title.

09 September 2021

Whenever there is a meeting, it takes an average of 20/30 minutes to regain proper attention to the code to be developed. It would be very nice if this were taken into consideration. If in the 15 minutes of morning stand-up with the customer, the question is always: this thing...
