I thought I’d look into C# development for a bit, and the first hurdle I came across is that I didn’t know the path to the .NET framework when I tried it out on my Mac. I did some digging and found that after installing it from here, the framework (SDK and Core Runtime) are … Read more
I’ve had a power cut recently, which seems to have corrupted the latest Kernel I have installed on my CentOS 6 server. I can boot into the previous one just fine, but of course if I forget to make a choice on startup, the server doesn’t start up. That’s annoying.
Thankfully there are ways to either fix the latest version, remove it, and even exclude a particular version from future updates. Here’s what worked for me on CentOS 6:
By default, Custom Posts don’t show up on regular Archive Pages. They still show regular posts, but none of the Custom Post Types are included.

I’ve recently started using Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code on my Mac. It works great, and I really like its simple useful features. The installation and most of the configuration worked flawlessly on my Mac and I was up and running very quickly. I had assumed it would be the same on Windows, but of course … Read more
I’ve been working on a game database that’s powered by a vanilla WordPress instance. For the project it made sense to create a new post type (game), as well as a custom taxonomy (platform). I didn’t want to use a plugin and instead opted to create the new post type as part of the child theme’s function.php file.
Here’s how I did it.
