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. It’s also more likely to happen if […]

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 […]

Dash: snippets & documentation

18 November 2013 by kristarella 3 Comments

I’ve been using Dash as one of my code snippet managers (along with Gist for public snippets & Coda). 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 […]

Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for t Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for the first time where Gran's ashes are interred, next to Grandpa's. Afterwards we had a long lunch, at which Mark was a champ. I'm so grateful to have all these people who love me and love Mark. And super thankful to have such a social and easy going baby.

Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterda Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterday! 10 photos cannot cover it, so I might have to post again 😆Thanks everyone involved in organising, exhibiting, and for chatting to us about your builds!#brickbuiltsydney #brickbuiltsydney2022 #lego #afol @sydlug #legomastersau
Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some at Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some attention! Stabilised wood and resin pairings from @pensbycasey_ . The photo doesn't do them justice; the red burl is gorgeous and the blue and green colourshift resin is amazing. They don't have their perfect ink matches yet, but that's okay, I'll use up what is in them and try a different combo next time.#fountainpen #fountainpens #handmadeinaustralia
Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this habitat, but I added another sun and a little more terrain. Fitting scene, as the sun has already set on my Star Wars day. I'd love to do a more gradual sunset, but I don't quite have the yellow and orange plates right now.#maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #starwarsday #lego #legostarwars #afol #legomaydare @giothebrickjedi_andfam @nicole_s_brick_build_world
