I quickly got it set up by transferring settings and apps from my “old” mid-2014 MacBook Pro. Is the new 2016 MacBook Pro worth getting? In short, yes. Especially if you’re a tech geek or […]
I had a little bit of a struggle getting FTPS to connect and list the directory when logged in. I was getting errors 550, connect aborted by remote server on FileZille, error 162 PORT FAILED on Transmit. The regular FTP, port 21, was working fine, but moving to a more secure method, FTPS, that uses […]
This will be a short article using an analogy to get the point across in a way more people can understand. My wife and I have been saving up for a year (or more) to get new kitchen appliances.

With 1 taxonomy, it doesn’t really matter, but the more taxonomies you have and want filterable in the WordPress admin, […]
I’m a fan of anonymous functions and reusable function definitions, like PHP lambda functions in JavaScript. I’ve used anonymous functions in WordPress development where possible, so for example: add_filter(‘widget_text’, function($html) { if( strpos($html,'<?php’) !== false ) { ob_start(); eval(‘?>’ . $html); // Close the current PHP tag…the contents we’ll get will have <?php ?> tags […]
I’ve begun my third year of running Nevis Technology full time. A huge piece of advice in negotiating I’d like to share is not to use words that explain ease or simple solutions. I don’t mean to take advantage of your clients who may or may not know your technical explanations – it’s more about […]
