I'm trying to find that WP plugin which lets you edit the DB from wp-admin, rewrite text strings etc. I have no idea what it's called 🙁

@scottbasgaard @markoheijnen Everyone I've asked always recommends Fiji, Samoa, Rarotonga etc. over it.

@markoheijnen @scottbasgaard Why Hawaii? I've never been, but I've always heard it is the worst possible part of that area to visit.

@markoheijnen @scottbasgaard You should have taken a Christmas holiday 🙂 https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2013/01/02/christmas-at-toko-mouth/

@ldebrouwer Oh no 🙁

@howbazaar Normal people don't turn off their computers for a whole week!

@SiobhanPMcKeown 🙁

@fondalashay It's hopefully going to warm up tomorrow if things go to plan.

@daankortenbach @DeFries Roadtrip sounds like fun 🙂

@jarlebergersen I love WordCamp's, so yeah, I recommend you go for sure.

@jarlebergersen I never read the descriptions for such things.

@jarlebergersen http://2013.norway.wordcamp.org/program/

@jarlebergersen I meant EC2 cluster, not instance.

@jarlebergersen @dialogCRM NZ hosts, much like Norwegian hosts, suck donkeys butt. I believe Amazon has an EC2 instance in Australia though.

@jarlebergersen You are moving to NZ? Cool 🙂

@wptavern Sad to hear you are leaving the community. Will http://jeffc.me/ be revived? Or maybe you have some other exciting project?

@technosailor Um? wha?

@jenmylo Which training program is this? Or is it unannounced yet?

@jenmylo I don't think that will be a problem. I will be on "GPL conversation" swatting duties 🙂

@bjornjohansen Doesn't top work with Nginx?

@mjepson @scottbasgaard @siobhanpmckeown @iv_wp Conference venue.

@williamsba @curtismchale @BeerNinjaz @kekkakokkers I was working on a food blog at the time of typing. Content must have gotten to my head!

@williamsba Nam nam. Post meat tastes a bit like reindeer. @iv_wp

It took me four minutes to find where the syntax error in get_post_meat() was. Head smack!

@flash_usb Congrats on becoming a core committer!

@davecoveney Well technically it's not the same organisation.

@davecoveney Oh, I see. I thought you meant the foundations behaviour could affect your business directly. Yeah, a fork would be annoying.

@davecoveney I don't think it will make any practical difference to your business.

@davecoveney @wpunitedkingdom I'm surprised that hasn't happened already.

@iv_wp A time of noon'ish was suggested by @noeltock. I suggest we leave Nydalen at noon.

@iv_wp @noeltock Sledding 🙂

Excellent WordPress plugin: User Switching http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-switching/ by @johnbillion

@gcaat Oh, ok. I thought you meant the Night Rider bus.

@gcaat I have no idea how to go over bus baggage limits. Best ignore my previous advice 🙂

@gcaat WTF? Lol, I thought you were getting on a plane.

@mikeschinkel Yeah, that happens a lot. Some people seem to have horse blinkers on.

@gcaat I've taken lots of crap via carry-on many times before 🙂

@gcaat You can usually take a computer case as well. Just make sure it's a small one jammed with lots of related crap as well as your comp

@gcaat You only need to wear it onto the plane. You'll be fine.

@gcaat Wear a big jacket and stick all your stuff in the pockets 🙂

@scribu Dang that looks awesome. I hadn't paid much attention to it, but that looks quite awesome.

@mikeschinkel Perhaps we need to improve our explanations 🙂

@mikeschinkel I'm glad somebody gets it. That blog post seems to have confused many people who didn't understand what I was meaning.

@jesterstear Here's some popcorn. Just bug @karmatosed if you run out, she has a steady stock of GPL popcorn 🙂

@jesterstear @bgardner Well that's not very exciting! I had my popcorn all ready and everything 🙂

@zamoose Didn't take long!

WordPress soap opera this … laptop, peanuts, comments, instant evening entertainment 🙂

RT @williamsba: Envato sponsored the WordPress Community Summit?! And people wonder why we're all confused http://bit.ly/WqBDZ0

@williamsba lol, awesome thing to notice.

I thought http://WordPress.org had huffed and puffed itself out on the GPL front. It seems I was wrong.

@isaackeyet I missed your tweet. Of course you are welcome to come!

Awesome! RT @social_brains: How Keys Work Explained In One Perfect Animated GIF (unexpectedly satisfying!) http://bit.ly/VWedgG

@KimDotcom Nice to hear things should be operating smoothly in a couple of days. I'll hold off signing up until then.

@carlhancock It would be great to have you at WordCamp Europe!

@GaryJ Useful tutorial from @konstruktors on how to use the plugin repo. and Github concurrently … http://konstruktors.com/articles/wordpress-plugin-svn-to-git

Interesting post from @wprealm about WordPress rewrite rules … http://wprealm.com/blog/wordpress-rewrite-rules-human-made-core-style/

@GaryJ I think that would be the best option since it keeps your users updated rather than leaving them with no auto-update path.

@GaryJ Yep, at the bottom of my latest blog post conveniently 🙂 http://wprealm.com/blog/why-you-should-stop-your-plugin-from-updating/

@sanchothefat Are you sure it wouldn't help? I assumed as soon as I used the API it would be treated as an attachment in WordPress.

@sanchothefat @simon_thepiman My plugin just copies stuff as it's uploaded. I don't know how to use the File API properly.

@Rarst @Krogsgard +1 Twitter authentication would be my preferred option.

@simon_thepiman Looks like I use 'add_attachment'. Both still use the file API though since they require them to be media attachments.

@simon_thepiman Yeah. I don't think many people do that, so won't be affecting many people (possibly just me).

@sanchothefat I haven't released that plugin. I think most CDN plugins could do it though.

@sanchothefat I use another plugin which rewrites all the URLs. I also have a CDN in front of that.

@Rarst @sanchothefat Some shared hosts don't block access if ownership permissions aren't set right http://ottopress.com/2011/tutorial-using-the-wp_filesystem/

@sanchothefat It automatically copies things from uploads to S3.

@sanchothefat Either way, I'll provide you with a patch at some point either to allow us to use it if we want, or to use it permanently.

@sanchothefat @rarst I think you should anyway. Or perhaps provide a warning that the plugin is not secure on some hosting setups.

@sanchothefat @rarst Shouldn't it use the file API to store them though?

@sanchothefat No, if the plugin uses the WordPress API it'll upload automatically via the Photocopy plugin … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/photocopy/

@Rarst @sanchothefat It is saved in a file. Since it doesn't use the media uploader, it doesn't get processed as I'd intended on my server.

@sanchothefat @rarst The file API in WordPress always hurts my head.

@sanchothefat @rarst Yep, there's a file API in WordPress. I was trying to make it work ready for a patch yesterday, but failed.

@Rarst @sanchothefat I auto-send my CSS files to S3 via WordPress, so since the upload hook doesn't fire, my CSS broke.

@Rarst @sanchothefat Your one on Github

@Rarst @sanchothefat I had problems with wp-less on a new server too. It was because it doesn't use the WordPress media upload tools.

@GaryJ @Otto42 Are you moving them to Github? In which case, perhaps do a plugin update including an autoupdater from Github.

New blog about WordPress plugin development that I hadn't seen before http://hardcorewp.com/. Authored by @mikeschinkel.

@rmccue @mikeschinkel Never seen it. Signing up now.

@mikeschinkel @rmccue The WordPress forums perhaps? There's an ideas section I think.

@TrondLyngbo @scottcowley @konstruktors @ronalfy @scottbasgaard I don't think WordPress is very good for large scale web stores.

The new mega upload from @KimDotcom is up and running apparently … http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/mega-launches-early-users-publishes-pricing-premium-accounts-ck-134684

@NinjaLikesCheez Ubuntu. Virtualbox is what I use.

@NinjaLikesCheez I don't have a disk drive, so that wouldn't matter 😉 I just want something I can install Photshop on in a virtual box.

@NinjaLikesCheez I don't spose you have a decent copy of XP kick around do you?

@NinjaLikesCheez What on earth are you using Windows for?
