@markoheijnen You should book into that hotel. I'm doing it right now.

@markoheijnen I know very little about it other than that it confused me.

@markoheijnen @dimensionmedia I screamed and ran away crying when I tried to touch that thing, so those improvements sound great 🙂

@markoheijnen I need a hotel too. @SiobhanPMcKeown, where are you staying again? We should all book into the same place 🙂

@markoheijnen BTW are you coming to Lisbon? (I've probably already asked, but I'm forgetful)

@markoheijnen @dimensionmedia Changed, but it'll presumably still be there I'm guessing.

@dimensionmedia I'm pretty sure you can rotate them with the built in image editor.

@dimensionmedia Er, isn't there one built into core?

@dimensionmedia @helenhousandi I'm guessing it's doing it because it was taken in potrait mode rather than landscape.

@dimensionmedia Yeah, that's what I'd guess. Lots of desktop apps do that. It's not uncommon.

@dimensionmedia I think you will find it's the opposite, your desktop photo viewing app will be rotating it.

Hmmm, my internet connection here in Portugal is 120 kbps. This reminds me a lot of New Zealand.

@andrea_r If you start running, you will get the "OMFG! Lady, you are incredible!" comments after six months or so.

@andrea_r I have the short slightly over-weight body type for it.

@andrea_r @bgardner It's very satisfying so long as your body can hold up to the punishment 🙂

@andrea_r @bgardner You should definitely take up running! I've been doing it for a while now, but keep injuring my achilles.

@markoheijnen Yeah.

I am now in Portugal 🙂 It sure is hot here!

SOB! Flying to Portugal and forgot my camera. Lots of phone snaps I guess then!

@bronsonquick did you just say you ran 5 km in 5 mins?

@zedejose I'm on a working holiday this week. Still 9 – 5, just from Portugal.

@zedejose Faro today. Haven't decided when I'll come to Lisbon yet.

@mjepson Congratulations 🙂

@DeFries When are you arriving in Portugal?

@Rarst @DeFries I'm taking a wild guess that public urination is not acceptable in the Ukraine?

@humphreybc Scary 🙁 Need to catch him and beat him bloody.

@DeFries Ya'll are nutz!

@DeFries There is a time and a place for peeing in public. The middle of a city during the middle of the day … not so much.

@miss_jwo Yep, WordCamp Lisboa this time 🙂 I'm spending the week in Faro and heading to Lisbon on Thursday or Friday'ish.

@scottbasgaard When do you arrive? And are you flying into Lisbon or Faro?

I'm in transit to Portugal 🙂

@DeFries What was that in response to? I'm confused.

Some fascinating stats and bits of info. in this post RT @danielbachhuber: Choosing NGINX for growth http://www.nginx.com/cs/nginx-automattic.html

@crienexzy Next up … "Nye iPhone"

@fevered Yay! Me too 🙂

@TCBarrett No. Apparently it doesn't make a big difference, so I'll just ignore it for the time being 🙂

@TCBarrett Hackers/DDOS type people. Not exactly their 10 most wanted, but enough to catch their attention.

@rachelbaker Your Github link isn't working … http://rbak.es/OM4VSy

I'm thinking I should stop associating with shady people online. I'm probably red-flagged on some FBI watch-list right now.

@trepmal Batcache is awesome! nananananana, BATCACHE!

@PauldeWouters Is that legal there? In New Zealand you would get in a lot of trouble with the police for that.

@PauldeWouters Um, haven't figured that out yet. Norwegians are a little crazy sometimes it seems.

Is public urination acceptable in other parts of the world? https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2012/09/22/public-urination-in-norway/ I was mildly grossed out today.

@jitsnz New server operational. Set https://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi to 50.116.54.208 in your hosts file to see it before Prosouth make the DNS changes.

@th3j35t3r re: private convo earlier … I had my wires crossed. It was a performance issue, not a security issue I found.

@jitsnz Someone tracked down the problem for me. I'll have it fixed tomorrow, assuming I can get the DNS switched that soon.

@jitsnz You will lose email service for 24 hours probably.

@jitsnz DNS is dropping off all over the world. I'll contact Prosouth this evening and arrange switch to new server.

@jitsnz None. That's why the site has been moved. I'll do some asking around.

@jitsnz I'm at work at the moment now so can't do much until later on (probably tomorrow morning)

@jitsnz I'm thinking if we can move the site to the new server now, perhaps whatever weird problem you are experiencing will disappear.

@jitsnz Any ideas on how to handle emails? New server isn't going to handle them for you.

@jitsnz Dunedin website works in Norway, but not Dunedin, doh!

@jitsnz Hmmm. I checked again. Working just fine for me.

@jitsnz Reason it hasn't been moved is because I'm having trouble working out a good way to handle the emails.

@jitsnz Seems to be fine now. It hasn't been moved yet. Test version of it is running well though.

@andrea_r Stupid statistics plugins! Keep bogging the darn server down.

@andrea_r Yeah, am using that. But need to know if it's in the sidebar or not.

@andrea_r I need to justify removing a plugin which hammers the DB. Proving that (almost) no one is using it would help my argument.

@andrea_r I was hoping there would be a nice easy to use plugin. I have one of those for telling if plugins are activated or not.

Question: How would you work out how many sites have a particular widget in their sidebar on WordPress multisite install?

Hmmm, free top level domain registrar http://dot.tk/. Not so good when the domain is redirected to malware as happened to @th3j35t3r.

@th3j35t3r That's better 🙂

@th3j35t3r Try to fix the subdomain by going to https://th3j35t3r.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains and selecting the sub-domain.

@th3j35t3r The old sub-domain is still indexed and you should be able to use that instead until the redirect is fixed.

@th3j35t3r I pinged http://WordPress.com on IRC to get them to block the redirect from the old sub-domain.

@leewillis77 That was what I was thinking of doing, but @plainsupper pointed out get_post_type() instead.

@plainsupper Thanks 🙂 I knew there had to be a function for that somewhere!

Dumb question for the day: If I have an ID, how to know if it's a post or page in WordPress? This seemed simple until I went to do it.

It seems that generating giant PDFs on the fly is kinda tricky. Ended up making 100 small PDFs and joining them together.

@zedejose @Rarst Turns out that most of the 14 MB was from fonts provided along with the PDF library I'm using.

@zedejose Just PHP 🙂

Holy cripes. The WordPress to PDF plugin I'm working on is already over 14 MB in size!

@JJJ It's also still the standard "Zend" way of doing things 🙁

@seonking Now it works 🙂 Everything worked apart from .zip files.

@seonking actually, maybe not sorry …

@seonking It's fixed now 🙂 Thanks for letting me know about it.

@seonking I'll fix that for you in an hours time. It seems all my old zip files are broken right now.

Someone is busy adding stuff to the featured images in WordPress trunk. Every day it looks a little different from the last.

@Jghazally It makes the terminal seem like a happier place. It's even better at 24px and bright orange 🙂

@film_girl I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😉

@film_girl To me, the Nokia brick is more iconic.The design is still used today and for good reason.

@ipstenu @pippinsplugins Considering the amount of malfunctioning crapware I've got past you, the rejects must be truly horrendously bad!

@ipstenu Did they provide a video tutorial inside the zip perhaps?

@NinjaLikesCheez @ronindotca I should also be more careful with Swype to avoid typos 😉

@NinjaLikesCheez @ronindotca I should start of Twitter more often! Problems must fix themselves 🙂

Apologies to anyone who noticed the PixoPoint RSS feed exploded today. Something went wrong during the changeover to a new domain.

@XanaduHowTo I miss ginger beer. It doesn't seem to be very popular here in Norway.

@XanaduHowTo How much?

@wptavern @jjj I mentioned you both in a blog post… http://wprealm.com/blog/talkpress-is-back/

RT @DeFries: TalkPress: Is bbPress finally coming to http://WordPress.com? http://wprealm.com/blog/talkpress-is-back/

@TCBarrett I don't entirely understand what you just said sorry. Increase file size of what?

@Krogsgard @williamsba @scottbasgaard Pffft, we upgraded from goats! We now have stream trains 🙂

@TCBarrett Random aside: This is a multisite currently powering three sites. More sites to be added later.

@TCBarrett Isn't it supposed to be a clean looking pie graph with no fragmentation in it?

@TCBarrett I cranked my APC memory up to 256 MB, but that didn't help at all.

@TCBarrett This is apparently a problem … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/_apc.php. Any ideas if upgrading to latest APC would help that?
