Recently my father-in-law sent us his old home phone system, a Panasonic 5 Handset KX-TGF544B. We haven’t setup our home phone from Comcast since we are 100% cell phone users, but since Dad had some trouble reaching us on our cell phones (literally no idea why…) he wanted us to setup the home phone.

How to Scroll Around in Loupe View WHILE USING Tools I’ve always found using the Adjustment Brush and Spot Removal Tools to be a real pain in the ass when trying to maneuver around a large image while zoomed in. I lost my mind with this irritation and broke down and googled it — you…
I finally finished Michael Kennedy‘s awesome course “Python Jumpstart by Building 10 Apps“. As a listener of both Talk Python To Me and PythonBytes podcasts, I’ve come to respect and appreciate Michael’s depth of knowledge and easy going approach to Python. I started this course about three or four months ago diving in head first…
I was hunting around for a simple method of customizing fonts on this site and came across Easy Google Fonts. This literally lets you create sets of CSS tags to apply custom Google fonts as well as system and theme fonts. Just create a font set, then set all of the available properties via your…
So, I’ve swapped from Libretto to FullWidther since I just wanted a wider main content area. What I really should do is dig in and make a child theme based on the attributes of both themes that I really like.
