I'm David, web designer/developer specializing in building functional websites using WordPress. I have strong skills in theme development using Hybrid Core framework and plugin development. It's okay if you want to hire me.
I started my online life just as a hobby. The idea to make money online is interesting to explore. Almost no reason, just ’cause.
I created my first blog on blogger and purchased my first domain from Google Apps. Register to Google Adsense and think that I’ll start making $$$. I was wrong. It’s tough, need a lot of dedication. I need to learn SEO, content research, etc. Read More My WordPress Journey
Sometimes you need to move/migrate files to another server/hosting, and you/your client only have FTP access to the server. And to download these files and re-upload to another server can take a lot of time using FTP client such as Filezilla. FTP do not have zip – unzip functionality, so you need to upload it one by one. And server to server transfer is a lot faster than downloading and uploading the files.
You can use this simple PHP script to move files from one server to another server. Read More Transfer Files Server to Server Using Simple PHP
When the product is free, the real product is You.
You go to the doctor and he tells you that you have a bacterial infection that will never, ever go away. It will literally eat away a crucial part of your digestive system unless you do a chemical treatment twice a day, every day, and do painful semiannual follow-up treatments with your doctor … for the rest of your fucking life. Sure, it’s not a death sentence, but the sheer weight of it kind of makes you want to give up — you can just see this burden stretching out in front of you, forever.
But, of course, I’ve just described brushing your teeth.
Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.

Programmers are creatures with no social skills.
But John is a programmer, and he is not socially awkward at all.
Yes, but John isn’t a true programmer.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

Jetpack Complex is a term used to describe a piece of software, a plugin or a theme in WordPress universe, that attempts to do too much and becomes painful to use for the user. An example of Jetpack Complex would be a plugin to display video that also tries to be your spelling and grammar checker program, sharing tool, and even contact form, resulting too much hard drive usage, server memory, and user time for maintenance by updating the part of the software they don’t actually use. ∞
In earlier post about wp_is_mobile() I explain that we can use wp_is_mobile() WordPress function to design theme by adding wp-is-mobile body class and use it in CSS and Javascript/jQuery.
But @samikeijonen mention that similar method was removed from twenty fourteen theme because if we use page cache/html cache the result will also be cached.
So I think the best way to use wp_is_mobile() is to also detect mobile browser via javascript/jQuery using this simple code: Read More Simple Mobile Browser Detection using Javascript
“One is not allowed to execute commands on production which one has not written into a procedural document, executed on the staging environment, and recorded the expected output of each command into the procedural document, with a defined fallback plan to terminate the procedure if the results of the command do not match expectations.”
