@SocialSammy Yep, Disquis server must have been down and so your comments box went with it 🙁

@hostgator IJL-12643486 but they've already responded. Seems your live chat just screwed up again that's all.

@bradleypotter Yes, I got one of their new VPS's. Their live chat as per normal fed me a load of bull. Good service, incompetent live chat.

Why are @hostgator sales so crap? "is this fully managed?", "yes"; "will you set it up to my specs", "yes" after purchase, "no" and "no" 🙁

HostGator now does VPS's … http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting/. Fully managed VPS for ONLY US$20/month ! Woop woop!!!

@iThnk Twitter might not die, but your comments have http://bit.ly/bSfTW. Disquis is spitting errors.

@SocialSammy Sorry, didn't check Twitter yesterday. If you in the CFI feel free to stop by any time.

I wonder how long it will take the bozos to realise they're talking into an abyss?

Just finished writing a system identical to the bozo plugin for bbPress, but for one my SMF powered sites… http://slapshot.net.nz/

@themelab You'd think it was obvious wouldn't you! WordPress.com != abilitiy to modify code

Whew, busy night done. Wrote upgrader, improved variable names, redesigned admin page(s), added admin page icon and cleaned up some code 🙂

@five15design This site made me think of what you could do with your Dunedin site … http://injersey.com/

@danmilward Well some people like closed source … particularly businesses who don't understand the point of open source.

@danmilward Yeah, I'm not convinced the world needs another CMS either, but it's closed source so I guess that's part of the USP.

Could someone DM me the email address for @gerwinnz please 🙂

@danmilward Had a chat with @gerwinnz about e-commerce component in his CMS http://bit.ly/40PhAr. Very cool stuff and built in Dunedin!

@kymhuynh Lol, that's one hell of a jump in version numbers!

All WordPress users go upgrade to the latest stable release … http://bit.ly/lTxrb @thedistiller

Hmm, new client job requires me to look at porn as part of the project!!!!!

Blog post: Britten https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2009/10/16/britten/

@iandstewart I've just been playing with that now. it seems to work very well.

Small Potato is pure awesomeness! If I get my A into G I'll be able to show you why in a few weeks.

RT @wptavern: A number of us are bored, please change that by talking to us http://wpchat.com/

@ronalfy Justin Tadlock did that, but an easier to understand version would be nice.

@wptavern Perhaps you could write a blog post about how to setup test installs of WordPress, ie: use that plugin, SVN, direct download etc.

@jennybeaumont Macs are not special, they just happen to come pre-installed with Mac OSX which you can easily replace with Windows.

@jennybeaumont No, Virtual Windows would be horrid. I meant Macs have a good reputation for running Windows natively.

@jennybeaumont I use Dell, because of price not quality though. Ironically, Mac's seem to have the best reputation for running Windows.

@jennybeaumont Is a Mac not a PC? I think you meant "Windows based PC"

@matthancocknz Small potato's new site is http://kwim.me/. It hasn't been redesigned yet though so is still housing Kubrick.

@wptavern No. Very serious. He just sent me a redesign of my site and totally love it.

Small Potato is BACK and is a total legend!!!!! Theme designer extraordinary!!!! Big thumbs up 😀

I found someone to convert my VHS cassette for me 🙂 Thanks to my cousin Andrea for helping 😀

Thanks @kiwisnake and @LLOnline for the retweets 🙂

Lol. Who on earth loaded 3518 pages on https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/ in September? I didn't realise it was that interesting 😛

Just broke past 200 blog posts on https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/ 🙂

@iFroggy On a particular forum?

@kaedron @Pierre_Em Third article is now done 🙂 21 more to go ….

@kaedron @Pierre_Em Two articles down, 22 more to go 🙂

@wptavern Almost seems like we're going to need to miss a version again like happened with 2.4.

@LachyG Ipod nano. It's the only one with an FM radio AFAIK.

@BlakeAnthony Because it NEVER works. It is plotting to destroy all of my applications!

Arghhhhhh ….. JavaScript is evil!!!!

@five15design If we could go back in time I'm sure tobacco would also be banned. There are too many gross smokers who would whine now.

@five15design I guess drug lords are too dense to figure out how to convert it properly.

@five15design I don't get why codeine is available off the shelf. That's mega simple to convert to all sorts of narcotics.

@five15design Lol, you're sounding like an American.

@five15design Pharmacist told me there was no difference in efficacy. It seems they were wrong according to Wikipedia http://bit.ly/2Ghs39

@five15design Do you not like Phenylephrine?

@bgardner Do you find vBulletin is more difficult to theme than phpBB3. Both look like nightmares, but I assumed vBulletin was worse.

@yoast Lol, I even read that post and listened to the podcast but I still didn't think of that plugin! Thanks for reminding me 🙂

@jennybeaumont Thanks Jenny 🙂

Grunion plugin looks a little too basic unfortunately, so as @Viper007Bond says, Contact Form 7 FTW

@conorpegypt Thanks. I've never heard of Grunion before.

Looks like Contact Form 7 has the lead right now. @yoast 's plugin is much more user friendly, but the HTML kills the deal for me sadly.

Arghh, Enhanced WP Contact Form plugin is out. It has a bunch of <br style="clear: both;"/> in it. Hard coded float clearing = VERY BAD.

@yoast Your contact fom plugin needs it's readme.txt updated to say it supports WordPress 2.8.4.

@wigsgiw Good pick James. @yoast knows what he's doing so I'm sure it works well.

What contact form plugin would be best for a WordPress Mu site? Something easy for noobs to use.

@anthonycole I can still uneaten KFC on the shelf 😛

@rmccue Yes. I wonder if he's paying attention to his Twitter stream?

Lol, talking smack about Anthony and he can't hear me 🙂

@matthancocknz You are safe. It's not Christchurch :p

@matthancocknz Lol, not quite, think a little further north

Lol. Super Matt … http://bit.ly/102Rzh

What's the best way to place FaceBook status updates etc. into a WordPress sidebar? Any good WordPress plugins out there for the job?

Bahahahaha … http://bit.ly/102Rzh

@BlakeBroad Who the heck put Yahoo! on that list? They have appalling hosting packages. I'm happy with HostGator.com.

@matthancocknz They are mighty cheap for local NZ hosting at least. Have you had any trouble with @webslice before? http://bit.ly/4nmlOS

@matthancocknz What the heck kind of webhost uses a fax machine for sending documents? Would they not let you send a PDF?

@Jghazally That's a pain. Guess I'll need to use something else instead of WP e-Commerce then 🙁

@nathanrice Lol. I often get "my menu doesn't look right, please make it look better". No explanation of what they don't like at all!

@rmccue @pocketsmith keep telling me how great Rails is. Seems like it takes a lot of the hassle out of building stuff from scratch.

@rmccue Are you considering doing Ruby work? Or just checking it out for interests sake?

@Jghazally Does the Members Only Module allow non-subscription sales to be made without being logged in?

@Jghazally Any idea if WP e-Commerce can sell a digital product where each customer gets a slightly different version? ie: selling API keys?

@MsConstantine Awesome 🙂
