I came across an issue with the Gutenberg editor, wherein the blocks interface was visible, but I was unable to add anything (the option to do so was disabled) As noted by this Wordpress SE answer by emat, the fix was to go to Users -> Profile, and under Personal Options check Disable the visual editor when writing save uncheck Disable the visual editor when writing save You may only need to do steps 3 and 4; I had to check then uncheck; I presume it sets/resets the appropriate flag i...

By all accounts, Nestlé is a pretty awful company.

I'll split them up into what they're mostly/primarily geared towards, but it's worth noting that I've learned a lot of the shortcut-y ways of doing things, and general "oh, that's neat" stuff through watching videos that aren't necessarily targetted towards "you will learn these blender tricks!" or "this is how to do X"; they just come out as parts of the people's normal workflows. General / All-round Blender Guru The guy most blender users start with. Pronounced (maybe still pronounces) ve...

YouTube wants to be clean, and show me as many videos as it can. I get it. Doesn't mean I have to like it, though. Sometimes my feed gets so full of videos I know I'll never watch and it bums me out. Where are the videos I actually want to watch? Where's your algorithmic genius at, YouTube? This is a short, hastily-written script to make it easier to get rid of multiple videos from my feed, without needing to click so much stuff. It adds a button to the YouTube header bar. When you click that...

After watching this video from Texturelabs I wanted to see if I could recreate the "Magic Texture Creates an Engraved Money" effect in Affinity Photo. As there isn't (or, I couldn't find) a wave distort effect in Affinity Photo 1.9, I set about seeing if there was another way I might be able to do it. Cue my first adventure with procedural textures! The Idea The idea was to mimic the effect Texturelabs got from "creating a gradient-pattern grid and then applying a Wave filter to it" by creati...

On 2021 02 06 I had an application refuse to run, presenting with the error "Can't load protection component, OS error 0x7e". What followed was... Somewhat on an infuriating goose-chase. Honk. The Fix The short-story version is: I had to reinstall the vc_redist.x64.exe obtained from Microsoft's latest supported Visual C++ downloads page. As for how I found that out...
