The recent start of the 100 days of blogging challenge that I am participating in with a few other coworkers at Kinsta got me thinking about how I will ever manage all of these scheduled posts. The way I am attacking this challenge is simply by creating a bunch of draft posts on various subjects and then scheduling them to be auto-posted once I have completed them. While doing this for a handful of drafts might not be that big of an issue but when you start to think about managing at least 100 posts if not more ( Depending on how crazy I decide to get) this can be quite an issue given the lack of a good heads up display in the WordPress dashboard. ...

I picked up some Apple AirTags a while back and put one in my laptop bag, on mine and Nicole’s keychains, in my wallet, and even one in my truck (_Figured it could help with finding my truck in a parking garage or something lol). However, I now have 3 more sitting here gathering dust and I haven’t the slightest idea on what to do with them. I have thought about hiding them in the kid’s backpacks just in case they misplace them, also attaching them to our bikes as well but I feel they would end up getting lost somehow, and then there would be a hunt trying to find the lost AirTags. ...

So the 100 days of blogging challenge is starting again, today on December 1st, 2021. Last year I did alright but this year I hope to do even better. I have already started drafting up posts that I intend to schedule in order to give myself a decent lead time when it comes to thinking up what to write about. I am also posting not only here but on my other site that deals mainly with all things WordPress. ...

While I hate to admit it, I saw a picture of this dish while randomly browsing Instagram one evening. That sent me down a rabbit hole, looking at various recipes until I found one that I thought had some potential based on the others I read. I went about doctoring this up to the point at which I was ready to give it a go with some changes in place. I need to revisit this and add a little more heat, but overall, I think this turned out pretty close to perfect; again, it’s a little mild for my liking. ...

I was looking for a way to force all DNS queries on my network to be pushed to my Pi-Hole no matter what hardcoded DNS servers were set up on the device. After a little research, I came across a couple of blog posts that pointed me in the right direction. The main reason for this is not only that the kids are getting smarter to be able to adjust settings on their devices to bypass the Pi-Hole, but also I wanted to make sure all devices that jumped on my network were going through the same DNS servers for caching reasons. I also didn’t want to have to make sure I configured each device when added to my network. ...
