Save your MacBook screen

15 November 2015 by kristarella Leave a Comment

It’s a thing with MacBook screens that sometimes they get marks from the keyboard on the screen. I think it’s most likely to happen with the retina screens that don’t have a significant portion of case around the screen, but it can happen with the MacBook Airs too.

SEO for beginners

2 March 2015 by kristarella 2 Comments

I recently did a talk at the North Sydney WordPress Meetup about Search Engine Optimization for beginners and best practices in WordPress. It was the longest talk I’ve done because there’s so much to cover, and you could really talk for weeks about SEO, but I tried to stick to beginner skills. You can see […]

I originally chose Dash for its shortcut auto-fill features (and it’s free with in-app upgrade on the Mac App Store!), but have recently found its offline documentation completely excellent. I primarily use the WordPress and PHP […]

Update your WordPress username!

16 April 2013 by kristarella

After Dion’s message at WordCamp Sydney last year, “Update your bloody WordPress!”, comes this new-ish message update your bloody WordPress admin username. It’s not really a new message, it’s just that it probably hasn’t been as dangerous to have a username of “admin” as it is now. Many hosts and news outlets are reporting widespread […]

Google Maps for iPhone: woooot!

13 December 2012 by kristarella

The official Google Maps for iPhone came out today! I’m pretty excited. Apple maps wasn’t so bad, if you live in California and possibly inner-city China. I thought the design of Apple Maps was pretty great, I liked the layout of the directions and how you could swipe across to see the next step of […]

Nail refresh with a 🌈 of subtle ombres, and yummy home made dinner of pepper steak (recipe in high protein cookbook by @helena__sly) and protein cheesecake with berries. With my sense of smell missing there are a lot of things I can't taste, but I could taste most of this 👌🏻#smallwins #sistaco
I have completely lost my sense of smell. Hopefull I have completely lost my sense of smell. Hopefully only temporarily! It is quite surreal knowing there is something strong smelling and not detecting it at all.

For the most part it is working pretty well, but I cracked it (in a similar fashion to Mark in the pic) about half an hour ago. It's okay, cry is done, and we're getting on with dinner and bedtime.
