As someone who has been working remotely from home for a while now, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to stay accountable and productive without the structure of a traditional office environment. However, I’ve found that by following a few key strategies, I’ve been able to maintain a high level of productivity and achieve my work goals.

Programmatically bulk add users Drupal 8 +

Recently I needed to add some new users to many different Drupal 8 / 9 developed sites. Adding more than just one user to each site through the administration ui is a bit time consuming IMO. If you can do something more efficiently that will be reused in the future, take a few minutes extra and do it. Then share it. The Drupal 7 version of this was found on CodeKarate, which has been an invaluable resource for so many Drupalers!

Quick Effective Fix for Drupal User Spam Accounts

I’ve used Drupal for a number of years on projects. It is an amazingly flexible and fun to use (as a developer and designer) content management system. One of the biggest aggravations I see is the amount of Spam User Accounts that are created due to the standard path for the user login. There are many way to combat this, however, a quick fix to start with is the Rename Admin Paths module.

Locked Out

Due to a glitch, I’ve been locked out. Locked out of my work computer for 3 days now. I’ve done all I can for work without it. I am going to finish up some Flutter training courses I have on Udemy.com. That will be worth while. Wellness also… I can get 2 more hours of wellness in this week on the clock. Interesting time!

Running my first 50k race

I got into running about 4 years ago (2014) after I wrecked on my bike and had some stitches put into my hand. Starting with Hal Higdon’s 5k and 10k training plans, then some other random 30k internet training plans, I’ve slowly worked my way up to the 50k. I originally had the S.O.B. 50k in mind, but as with most races, I don’t like to sign up to early due to the blessed randomness of life. A couple months out, I decided to sign up for the SOB run, by then it was sold out… in the end the smoke in Southern Oregon this year cancelled the trail run anyhow… bummed for all those who were registered and worked so hard to prepare for it!
