esc_attr( $text );

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Making Bookmarklets

I'm feeling very clever. I've got this sweet line of javascript that replaces "cloud" with "butt". My mom would LOVE this, but she doesn't computer very well. I'm afraid to show her the Developer Console and have her type/paste this in. But she IS pretty good at bookmarks, she knows just how to click those!

A bookmark normally takes you to a new web page. A bookmarklet is a bookmark that runs javascript on the current page instead of taking you to a new page. To declare that it is a bookmarklet, the "location" it points to starts with javascript:.

  * Create a Google Calendar "add to calendar" link.

  * This function is convienient because it does not require an API connection.
  * Note that this only allows for adding a single event.
  * The data does not have to exist already on any Google Calendar anywhere.
  * This just adds your event data to the end-users GCal one item at a time.
  * See https://stackoverflow.com/a/19867654/947370 for a full explaination of
  * the Google Calendar URL structure.
