@Rarst Do you know if it is faster than Netbeans? I tried that, but found it drove me crazy with how slow it was, so I went back to Komodo.

@Rarst "For Java-based IDE's" … that doesn't sound like a promising start.

@Rarst How do you find PHP Storm is performance wise? I find many larger text editors are just too damn slow. @DeFries

Is this true? Are Swedes really importing rubbish? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgEbDZM5YJg Found courtesy of @konstruktors

@simonwheatley Yeah, I did that. But it still seemed much less coherent to me than dump in raw $vars.

@MZAWeb I clearly need to learn more about this. cc/ @simonwheatley

@simonwheatley I've been working with one today which has over 10 variables in it. When I want to add another, I find it really messy.

Does anyone else find it confusing as heck when code is riddled with printf's instead of just dumping the variables out directly?

@zamoose lolz

@Rarst Come to WordCamp Norway 2013 🙂 January 26th/27th.

@blrandel We're hiring! http://www.metronet.no/jobb/

RT @WPRealm: BuddyCamp Vancouver Report, by @bowefrankema http://wprealm.com/blog/buddycamp-vancouver-report/

@simonwheatley I was also thinking of making that tool auto-email the developer so they can provide feedback on the problems found.

@simonwheatley I was thinking of a hosted solution which ran automated tests for performance, injected links etc.

@simonwheatley There is nothing available that does the sort of checks I have in mind.

@TurcuCiprian @SunleyNZ People pronounce "yeah" and "year" differently? That's even weirder!

@zedejose My air's are just fine! I'm going to go knock back a bear and go to sleep.

@zedejose @SiobhanPMcKeown @simonwheatley We have a good air for this stuff down south.

@zedejose I hair yah! @SiobhanPMcKeown and co. need to be more pedantic and learn to pronounce "ear" and "air" correctly (ie: the same).

@rhyswynne Jetpack screws everything up in my experience. I've had nothing but troubles trying to use Jetpack locally.

@simonwheatley @SiobhanPMcKeown I hare that you English folks struggle with English some times.

@simonwheatley Beer with me whilst I teach @SiobhanPMcKeown good Engrish.

@SiobhanPMcKeown @simonwheatley I am sitting hair drinking my bear.

@simonwheatley Harsh! @SiobhanPMcKeown is not THAT weird. She just gets confused and thinks "here" and "hair" are pronounced differently.

@sarabeee I think that's just stupid people that call them "liberians"

@SiobhanPMcKeown Yes, everyone outside of Dunedin in New Zealand is very very weird!

@sarabeee "beer" and "bear" are pronounced identically. There is no difference at all.

Holy crap! I just discovered I pronounce "ear" and "air" slightly differently. Didn't realise til @SunleyNZ pointed it out.

@stevegallagher I'm pretty sure I was taught at primary school, that "hair" and "here" are pronounced identically.

@stevegallagher Huh!? "Air" and "ear" are pronounced identically.

@jstr Oh, that's weird!

@jstr Do you also pronounce "air" and "ear" differently?

@zamoose What you just described would sound exactly identical if I said them.

@jstr Do you pronounce beer and bear differently?

@SiobhanPMcKeown That's bizarre. You people are weird.

@jstr WTF? How can they possibly be different?

Do you pronounce "hair" and "here" differently? I just heard that some people say them differently!?!?

@Rarst I'm not seeing any negativity there.

@Rarst I want @bjornjohansen to turn it into a WordPress theme and submit it to the repository.

@Rarst I didn't think it referred to flat file databases as a bad thing.

RT @WPRealm: Is There Life Beyond WordPress? http://wprealm.com/blog/is-there-life-beyond-wordpress/ cc @jschuller @JohnONolan @perezbox

@bjornjohansen Capital P dangit clearly isn't in action on WordPress itself I guess.

Hmmm, one of the WordPress core developers misspelled "Wordpress" on his http://WordPress.org profile page.

@trepmal I want to go to Iceland too! They hurry up and do WordCamp Iceland 🙂

@trepmal That sounds like a bug in your code to me then. I use Core Control for debugging this sort of stuff .. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/core-control/

@trepmal Things like Batcache get around these sorts of issues since their out of the box setup resets the cache fairly regularly.

@trepmal Does the site have any sort of intense caching? Perhaps WP Super Cache or W3TC?

@trepmal I'd guess most failed WP Crons are due to caching. You can get around that by occasionally pinging the server via regular cron.

@trepmal Or at least I've never noticed any problems. I have multiple things relying on WP Cron and have never seen them fail on multisite.

@trepmal WP Cron works flawlessly on multisite. No problems at all.

@ipstenu @zamoose When Americans say "ball" it sounds more like "bahl" to me.

@zamoose Google tells me that Kiwi English rarely (if ever) uses "balk" which would explain why it looks totally wrong to me.

@zamoose Sounds like a different word. I pronounce "baulk" as "bawk"/ "bork". It has a silent L.

@zamoose How do you pronounce "balk"?

@zamoose I have never heard of "balk" before. I speak Kiwi English.

@ngaireackerley That's my understanding. It would be pretty much impossible for them to enforce otherwise.

@simonwheatley I will never be updating that plugin again, but it's not going to stop working any time soon.

@simonwheatley This for examples hasn't been updated, but it doesn't claim it isn't compatible with latest version … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ryans-suckerfish-wordpress-dropdown-menu/

@simonwheatley Then you only need to update once every two years and it'll always claim to be compatible with latest version 🙂

@simonwheatley Don't do that! Remove the "compatible" entirely. That way it won't indicate that it hasn't been tested with newer versions.

@ngaireackerley I assume that is a reference to developers building custom Twitter applications, not websites dumping out lists of tweets.

@simonwheatley Done

@simonwheatley Email Alerts.

@simonwheatley You even cast your booleans as boolean 🙂 Others used raw $_GET straight into an SQL query and assumed they would be boolean!

@simonwheatley lolz

I security audited four plugins today. Three were disastrous. One was excellent. Thanks to @simonwheatley for making the excellent one 🙂

@andmiddleton Don't worry. @kovshenin is kindly helping out 🙂

@DeFries Thanks 🙂 @andmiddleton, any chance you can help? Or perhaps @kovshenin?

Does anyone have a copy of the WordCamp themethey could send me? I need to work on a WordCamp site, but don't want to edit it live. Thx 🙂
