@kimparsell The zip seems to be available now … The zip appears to be available now … http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.5-RC4.zip

@dinicmilan Which one?

@kimparsell Yep, that's coz they just bumped the version in Trac (hence I knew it was going up). I don't think RC installs are upgrading yet

@kimparsell Are you on Trunk perhaps?

An excellent plugin for tracking theme usage in WordPress multisite courtesy of @sillygrampy … http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/wordpress-mu-theme-stats/

I feel a WordPress 3.5 RC4 release in the air.

@CoenJacobs Thanks for the input.

@CoenJacobs It tests if the code will work in the future. It saves having to do a double test.

@CoenJacobs A staging environment for testing code before pushing to the live server.

WordPress question: Is it common to run trunk on staging servers? Or is it standard to replicate the current production server?

@trepmal I'm not very good at avoiding temptation when it comes to chocolate.

@trepmal I did that this evening. I won a big bag at work today and ate them all when I got home.

@jan_dembowski @chriswallace Don't worry, @SiobhanPMcKeown is just jealous of my awesomely concise, yet totally unhelpful responses 🙂

@SiobhanPMcKeown 12 to 40 for a standard'ish news/blog type site.

@SiobhanPMcKeown That was a serious response. Need more info. for a more detailed response.

@SiobhanPMcKeown 2 to 300 hours depending on complexity.

@ipstenu @bgardner Nice post. I think most people will figure it out intuitively though since the media manager is so simple to use 🙂

@karmatosed Yeah, I wouldn't use that either.

@karmatosed I was thinking of the person rather than the organisation. "Biological parent" or "birth parent" seem to be the correct terms.

@fondalashay Thanks 🙂 That matches what @plainsupper and @webalyst suggested too.

@webalyst @plainsupper That makes sense. I was wondering if there was a more technical/specific word for it though.

@alexkingorg When I lived in NZ it wasn't uncommon to get 50 Mbps within the country, then 0.5 Mbps to the USA.

@gamerz @alexkingorg I max out at 10 Mbps within Norway, so I'm fairly happy with only losing 4 Mbps all the way to California.

@gamerz @alexkingorg I suspected that might be the case 😉 Here's mine to Paolo Alto http://www.speedtest.net/result/2344333573.png

@alexkingorg Your 14 Mbps download could easily be more useful than @gamerz 's 166 Mbps if he can't get fast speeds out of his own country.

RT @WPRealm: The very first WordPress Codex Sprint: http://wprealm.com/blog/the-very-first-wordpress-mid-week-codex-sprint/

@konstruktors @hanlasse I think it will be a difficult concept for people to grok.

@hanlasse @konstruktors Hopefully I'm wrong. The world needs more sites built like that. The basic concept of simple static sites is great.

@hanlasse @konstruktors http://viaorbiter.com/ is a nice little tool. I'm not sure it'll be very popular as people always want more, not less.

@hanlasse We certainly can't accuse of @konstruktors of over-complicating his site designs 🙂

@hanlasse Are you possibly referring to the design at http://viaorbiter.com/? In which case that is not even WordPress.

@hanlasse What are you referring to?

@konstruktors Do you know if it lets you map domains to it?

Sigh. I've been wondering why WP trunk was munted for so long. It turned out my cron initiated SVN updates were failing 🙁

I need examples of WordPress pointers / tooltips in plugins/themes. Do you know of any examples? I can only think of WordPress SEO.

@benhuson That other plugin is used on a large site I'm working on which has major debug problems. Anything to lesson the debugs is good 🙂

@benhuson Oh, I didn't even realise you were the author, lol. I thought you were just recommending it.

@benhuson I might switch to the other one then if you think it is better.

@benhuson This is the one it replaced … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mailfrom/. This is the one I linked to … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-from-email/

@benhuson I think you are confused with another plugin.

@benhuson Have you tried this one? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-from-email/ Any ideas on which one is best?

@Rarst @Mamaduka I kept seeing that sort of code, but could never figure out what the & was there for.

@Mamaduka Oh I see. I always wondered what that & symbol was for.

@Mamaduka How else could you do it?

@trepmal You even got a mention in the Codex whilst asleep … http://codex.wordpress.org/Modifying_Options_Pages

@trepmal Well clearly you should sleep more often!

@Mamaduka That looks better than when I used %%%. Thanks 🙂

@fevered Gotta wonder where someone's mind is wandering when they don't realise that is inappropriate though.

@fevered Perhaps send him these tweets. Seeing it in type might make it more obvious that what he is doing is ludicrously inappropriate.

@fevered I know people who make jokes like that, but they're very careful about where, when and who they say them to.

@fevered What sort of person is it that is making these jokes?
