Nice example of politely but aggressively arguing a point http://bit.ly/14VQoYA @ElizabethForMA

Chilling out watching the latest podcast featuring @Krogsgard http://krogsgard.com/2013/the-little-web-show/

@EricMann Damn. My secret is out 🙁

I'm apparently not very good at reading Captcha's, because I can't read this one … http://stuff.ryan.hellyer.kiwi/facebook-captcha.png

@Otto42 Your plugins always do one thing, but do it well. That's my favourite kind of plugin 🙂

@Otto42 I think you should keep it going 🙂 I trust your plugins more than I do anything from Facebook itself.

@Otto42 I thought you had dropped support for SFC too and were recommending people change to the official Facebook plugin.

@markoheijnen I always assumed @Otto42 's Facebook and Twitter connect would be the way to go. But he seems to be not supporting those now.

@markoheijnen I have basic needs. I just want to it create a new WP user and log them in.

What plugin do you prefer for Twitter, Facebook and/or Google login in WordPress?

@miss_jwo I was looking at the widget code. Might be good for us to use transients instead of WP Cache. Better for shared hosts then.

@noeltock @daankortenbach Your own layer is certainly more forwards compatible. Admin theming in WordPress is not very reliable long term.

@noeltock @daankortenbach Did you consider using a PHP framework instead of WordPress? Removing /wp-admin/ is a big step.

RT @twholman: There's a cheeky subtle easter egg if you search kerning in google – https://www.google.com/search?q=kerning

Hmmm, Github is down 🙁

@Rarst lolz

@SiobhanPMcKeown @miss_jwo That sounds pretty good actually.

@miss_jwo Any ideas for a good Twitter widget plugin name?

@miss_jwo Sweet 😀 You should fork the Grunion plugin too!

@miss_jwo Perhaps the templating side of it could be abstracted out? Then it could be a core class with a customisable templating layer?

@miss_jwo It needs a better name too. The one on it at the moment was only intended to be temporary until I came up with something better.

@miss_jwo I only have that sitting there because I didn't want to see the original one get left to die.

@miss_jwo I am EXTREMELY keen for someone to fork it.

Awesome post by @wonderboymusic about understanding MySQL in WordPress … http://wp.me/p2pjX1-5fY

@elpie Scary. I hope the people up that way are okay.

RT @jonbergan: Woah, this is big. Opera moves to WebKit: http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/300-million-users-and-move-to-webkit (via @anna_debenham)

@bjornjohansen I've used a few different systems before, but I'm never sure which one to recommend (someone asked me about it this evening).

@bjornjohansen Was it similar to this? https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker. @konstruktors made something ages back too.

@modemlooper Thanks. That looks nice and easy to use too 🙂

Do any of you have preferences for how to handle third-party automatic update systems in WordPress plugins?

@AKiwiInGermany I'm posting bits of homework on a blog of mine. I'm hoping they'll be amusing to look back on once I finally master it 🙂

@AKiwiInGermany Can you speak much German yet? My Norwegian is kinda crap, but I'm slowly getting there.

@AKiwiInGermany Oh dear! A German teacher sounds far scary than any Norwegian teacher could possibly be. Our teacher is lovely.

Yuss! Managed to finish all my homework before class tomorrow 🙂 Norwegian classes sometimes make me feel like I'm back in high school.

@amberweinberg I know that WordCamp Italy was not in English.

@rmccue @paul_wp Can services like Github that though? Or would you need to push directly to the server from your own machine?

@paul_wp I don't think Git on the server would be faster than sftp as you need to wait 60 seconds for a Cron to fire before it will start.

@paul_wp @trepmal I don't think there is any downside to deployment via sftp is there?

@paul_wp @trepmal True. You can definitely deploy via Git itself if it's running on the server though.

@_mfields No, but that would be darned handy! I think you should make a plugin for it 🙂

@NinjaLikesCheez But best not to trust that account to continue to exist 😛

@NinjaLikesCheez Yer safe for a while since I now know you are actually using it for something important.

@paul_wp @trepmal You can also run a Cron on the server, which automatically pulls the changes in every minute.

@paul_wp @trepmal Yes, you can deploy with Git. I use Beanstalk a lot, which has a built in Git deployment system.

I almost deleted it this weekend, but got distracted with sledding instead. Just noticed you are using it for a live site now.

@ninjalikescheez I'm going to delete the hosting account you are using for http://faptrackr.org, so you'd better move it 😛

@trepmal I started the same way too. I quite like deploying stuff with Git now though. It makes for a much smoother process.

RT @iv_wp: And now repeat after @DeFries "Best. Sledding. Ever." 😀 http://t.co/qxgFgbks

@trepmal Are you deploying your projects with Git now? Or just using it for version control and manually copying stuff over?

Sledding in Oslo with @iv_wp and my colleague Boban … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2013/02/10/korketrekkeren-with-boban-and-ivelina/

Just got back from sledding down Korketrekkeren with @iv_wp. Lots and lots of fun 🙂

@andrea_r Google Translator or multi-talented?

I flew and crashed my first radio controlled air plane 5 mins ago 🙂 https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2013/02/09/my-first-plane-crash/

4:20am right now. I spent the whole night learning how to write bash scripts. Very satisfying, albeit rather geeky.

Tip for the day: Disable logs in the redirection plugin for WordPress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/). Otherwise it'll fill your DB up mega fast!

@itsananderson @mkjones @johnbillion This might come in handy for strings to block automatically … http://code.google.com/p/g0tmi1k/source/browse/trunk/wordlists/500-worst-passwords.txt?r=33

@itsananderson @mkjones @johnbillion It might be a good idea to include a check for obvious strings in passwords.

@DeFries The git-> SVN thing? Or the plugin I just mentioned from @itsananderson? I agree either way 🙂

@itsananderson Without a block in place, people use some very disturbingly passwords!

@itsananderson I'm very confident your plugin has saved some of our clients at @metronet from having their websites compromised.

@itsananderson Simple is good too 🙂

Awesome plugin! RT @itsananderson: I finally put my "Minimum Password Strength" plugin on the .org repo http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/minimum-password-strength/

@trepmal I've never seen the Github app. For visualisation I sometimes use Git GUI. There's a Mac app. called Tower which seems popular too.

@DeFries Nope, never seen it. I just copy and paste the old fashioned way for .org 🙂

@DeFries For Git? Just something very simple I wrote myself. It doesn't handle commit messages though, which rules it out for most purposes.

@trepmal Are you using the terminal?

@trepmal I set up a handy little bash script this evening for doing rapid commit/pushes for one of my repos. One click to deploy 🙂

@trepmal I am slowly getting better at Git. It ate my brain for a while, but it has slowly grown back 🙂

@paul_wp @RichStaats That wasn't me. But I'll find out who it was for you and put them in touch with you.

@paul_wp @RichStaats I'm not aware of using any app. for speaker slides sorry.

@no_fear_inc Thanks. Do you have a list of IPs and URLs at handy by any chance?

@no_fear_inc I can't find conflicting plugins. Maybe I need to look harder. DNS seems unlikely since I have this problem on two servers.

@no_fear_inc Faulty, as in no updates are showing up. It looks like there are no updates, even though there definitely should be.

The server can do http requests just fine. Any ideas how to debug a faulty WordPress update checker?

As soon as I sent my last tweet I had an epiphany and suddenly thought to check if the server can do https requests.

Any ideas on what would cause a WordPress install to stop showing plugin updates?

@nacin Sounds like it must be time for you get an upgrade.

@trepmal That's a little bizarro.
