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 […]

IFTTT: if this then that

27 July 2012 by kristarella

You might have heard of If This Then That. I had, but hadn’t gotten to using it. Then a client asked about plugins for publishing new post links to Facebook and I realised I wasn’t happy with the plugin I was using for posting links to Facebook and Twitter. Enter IFTTT!

Photogene2 for iPhone

28 February 2012 by kristarella

This is a truly underrated app! Okay, maybe not literally since it has an average of 4.5/5 stars on the app store and most reviews are 5 stars. However it seems like no one in the tech podcasts that I listen to ever mention it, but they mention Snapseed often… Snapseed is cute, but I […]

How I made a post contents menu

30 June 2010 by kristarella

When I redesigned kristarella.blog I implemented a contents menu that you can see in top right corner of some posts and pages; mainly tutorial posts. This was part of my effort to make the site more navigable. I’ve had a couple of questions about how I did that, so I’m going to answer them today. […]

Drop-up menu in Thesis 1.6

11 November 2009 by kristarella

Yes, drop-up is a bit of an oxymoron. Technically you pull something up and drop something down, but since we talk about drop-downs so much, and the effect of what I’m about to show you happens with the same amount of “gravity”, and I’m not an language pedant (all of the time)… it’s okay. I […]

Popup EXIF display with Thesography and jQuery

18 October 2009 by kristarella

I received a request to make Thesography display EXIF upon hover over an image instead of just displaying as more text in the post. While I won’t include that kind of function in the plugin at this time (because I’m not sure how best to do it while maintaining a good amount of flexibility), I […]

Another fun day at the zoo! I was excited to see h Another fun day at the zoo! I was excited to see how great the Vivid displays look during day since I didn't try to see them at night. Mark wasn't quite ready for photos with the gorilla sculptures. He stared at the mummy gorilla for some time and then decided he didn't like it and started to cry 😢 a cuddle with human mummy fixed that 😂

This cheeky monkey is ten months old today!He h This cheeky monkey is ten months old today!He has 3 teeth out, and that tongue is often out feeling what is going on with those too! He is super close to crawling. He can shuffle himself around and did a couple of alternate knee motions yesterday before slipping onto his tummy again. He doesn't like lying down and sits up at every opportunity. He is rubbish at sleeping (worse than ever), but usually makes up for it with how happy he is during the day.#marksymonds
Final day is stack day for #LEGODisneyHabitats wit Final day is stack day for #LEGODisneyHabitats with @brickfambuilds and @trickybricks!I only made 4 habitats this time, so for a balanced stack I threw in my Magic Kingdom castle and Mickey from last year.I made a couple of small improvements on some of the habitats too: a clock and key for Alice, an extra wall row for Luke and Leia (somehow I made that one too short 🤦🏻‍♀️) and the finishing top rail for Ariel and Eric, which I think goes nicely next to the rabbit hole.#lego #afol #legohabitat #legohabitats #legohabitatstack #legodisney #legodisneyhabitatstack
