MCP currently free on WordPress.com
The MCP feature gives you the ability to talk to your site using AI tools, like my current favorite, Claude Code. You can ask it to fact check and fix things, for example. It will remain free until December.
I normally only let myself use AI for work-related texts, not for personal. I asked it to fix the alt text of an image for the purpose of this post. It edited it.
The venue for WordCamp Sofia 2026
WordCamp Sofia is next week, October 24th. The main hall is 6. The entrance is from the back and confused everyone last year, especially given that in the early morning, almost all other doors will be closed.
This is NDK’s front, main entrance. Our event is not that big to use it 🙂
And this is where we are going to be:
The main entry will be the door where the cyclist is.
Going from the front to the back is easier on the west side, as the east looks like this:
The alley is fine, just a hundred meters longer because of the architectural choices to make all these underpasses everywhere.
In case you’re still wondering if you should come, this is the tickets page. We still have tickets. Welcome!
Don’t forget to check your comment spam folder for gems
This is how I found some incredibly thorough breakdowns on posts about cats. I wonder what kind of a model produced this output. It is not likely that a frontier model generated the same comment twice, ignoring all of the context, except the title.
Update on the new writing prompts
I kept an eye on the new writing prompts that we shipped last week. I was curious to see if people like them or not. Also, some of these are just a little bit unorthodox and may not be to the everyone’s liking.
So far:
Best writing prompt:
What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?
Worst new writing prompt:
What’s the most interesting local custom you’ve encountered?
And the first unusual one is today’s prompt:
What are the biggest benefits of minimalist living?
I’ll have to post a true answer to this one but so far, the origins of it have only been hinted on my blog. Books create clutter. I have many. They take up living space. It’s kipple. As Philip K. Dick says:
Kipple is useless objects, like junk mail or match folders after you use the last match or gum wrappers or yesterday’s homeopape. When nobody’s around, kipple reproduces itself.
So my wife discovered Marie Kondo and thanks to her book, I was able to get rid of half of my clothes and a sizable portion of the books. But we are losing this battle.
Today’s writing prompt is invited by our family’s battle with books, clothes, fitness devices, and toys nobody plays with. Old Apple devices and their fancy boxes. Chargers. Cables.
