@SiobhanPMcKeown @ipstenu Most OSX users don't seem to realise they even exist.

@ipstenu I think Windows adds the weird thumb ones too sometimes.

@ipstenu I must admit, I inadvertently let those one slip through sometimes.

@ipstenu Getting rid of those nasty Mac OSX files would be good too!

In my experience, things never happen for a reason, but they almost always turn out for the best @gcaat

Spam Destroyer was kindly featured on http://WPMu.org by @pollyplummer 🙂 http://wpmu.org/spam-destroyer-really-works-to-kill-wordpress-spam/

RT @pollyplummer: @ryanhellyer Hey Ryan I featured your plugin today: http://wp.me/pzRKG-obD Really love using it on my site, have had 10 …

@pollyplummer I am super keen to hear how it works with bbPress and BuddyPress!

@pollyplummer Awesome! Thank you very much 🙂

@ipstenu If you just stop turning up, I'm fairly sure they'll figure it out.

WP Camp Berlin. Erm, it's not a WordCamp!? http://wprealm.com/blog/when-is-a-wordcamp-a-wp-camp/

@clarecurranmp You should use a VPN if you are paranoid.

@clarecurranmp Most routers are riddled with security holes from what I've heard. It's not specific to Huawei.

@mythltd Are you interested in flying in people from overseas for the new job? http://www.myth.co.nz/news/?p=192 (If so, I'll tweet about it for you)

@shawngaffney Nope, definitely wasn't an issue specific to trunk.

@shawngaffney @konstruktors Yer in the credits section … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/other_notes/

@shawngaffney Yup, change away from jQuery caused it. I'll revert it back to using jQuery to solve the problem.

@shawngaffney I assume it's due to a change of jQuery to raw JS early this evening. If that is the case, then I'll fix it ASAP.

@shawngaffney Thanks. @konstruktors just pointed that out too.

@zamoose @rzen @wptavern @CoenJacobs Just logged in now. Seems to work very well.

@zamoose I want the same thing. I'd also like to know who NEVER tweets on my follow list, so I can cull them out.

RT @zamoose: Is there some sort of a service that will analyze your Twitter follow list and tell you who is most active, etc.?

@bjornjohansen That would be easier for spammers to work around, but would handle long-term static caching well.

@bjornjohansen I could have a toggle which made the plugin only compare the cookie with the input field. If they don't match -> dead spam.

@bjornjohansen Tthat could happen on my site 100s per day, but I guess is somewhat more of a problem if you are caching for 10 days.

@bjornjohansen Ohhh, timestamp. Excellent idea!

@bjornjohansen It currently uses an MD5 hashed nonce, but that only updates once per 24 hours.

@bjornjohansen For public release, I made it dynamic, but it is not necessary.

@bjornjohansen Nope, it can be the same key every time. It does make it easy for spammers to hack around though.

@bjornjohansen The version I've been using for over a year, kept the same key for over a year.

@bjornjohansen Then have a toggle to make it update at sporadic times.

@bjornjohansen It would work if I stored the key in the DB.

@bjornjohansen Dang, you are full of all sorts of helpful tips 🙂

@bjornjohansen When I was writing it, I probably forgot that people use Super Cache etc. which hold cache data for an awfully long time.

@bjornjohansen My cache refreshes every 100s or so, so that wouldn't have affected me.

@bjornjohansen I'll work on caching the kill.php file contents at a later date. That kills two birds with one stone.

@bjornjohansen Oh cripes. I hadn't thought of that. Head smack!

@bjornjohansen Pages can currently be cached (mine are), it's just the kill.php file which can't be cached.

You meant without using a dynamic kill.php file right?

@bjornjohansen Yeah, I have that in mind already.

@bjornjohansen I'm surprised I let that one slip through. I think I forgot about it since it wasn't in the regular WP flow.

Spam Destroyer 1.2.2 is now out, featuring improvements by @bjornjohansen http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/

@bjornjohansen I always credit people when they add something useful.

@bjornjohansen It works 🙂 https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/wp-content/plugins/spam-destroyer/kill.php?key=YepThisThingWorks

@bjornjohansen Do you have a website I can link to? Trying to credit you in the plugin files.

@bjornjohansen @ronalfy I'd love to avoid jQuery. My JS skills suck so bad I have no idea how though. Changing it is on my todo list.

@bjornjohansen I know very little about JS and didn't understand how document.ready works.

@bjornjohansen I've had a chat with my JS guru @ronalfy, who after some debate agreed with your stance. So I'll move it to the footer 🙂

@bjornjohansen Putting it in the head was a conscious decision.

@bjornjohansen I grok the concept, but there are advantages to loading it in the head too.

@bjornjohansen I don't care about themes without wp_footer(). No one should be using those anyway.

@gcaat And we love you!

@bjornjohansen I'll either change the default behaviour, or create some sort of toggle system to allow you to change it.

@bjornjohansen Thanks for the feedback btw! Hard to know how well it's working without feedback.

@bjornjohansen I'm unsure which is the best to do by default. Benefits either way.

1000 downloads 🙂 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/metronet-reorder-posts/ Now if only @ronalfy would stop being modest and list himself as an author.

@gcaat 🙁

@XanaduHowTo @andrea_r Yes, I would be barking mad not to pick up http://wpdogs.com 😉

@XanaduHowTo Well that domain is available apparently.

@andrea_r via Twitter followers?

I own http://wpcogs.com. Any opinions on what I should do with it?

@rocketgenius Ohhh, polls addon. I've been wanting a good polls plugin for a while now.

@Digialitay Have you actually seen the movie? It's awesome IMHO.

How to write a better support request by @andrea_r … http://wprealm.com/blog/writing-a-better-support-forum-request/

@TCBarrett There's a lot of bad things I eat.

@TCBarrett I'd eat it.

@metodiew My idea was for something 1 on 1 between site owner and visitor, so scalability wasn't an issue.

@metodiew I was talking about custom building something last week. There are major difficulties in scaling something with WordPress though.

@ipstenu I dunno what your next step is in life, but it sounds like it is going to be quite epic. Congratulations on whatever it is 🙂

@simonwheatley @metodiew Simple answer. Don't 😉 I have no good solution for it.

@obenland @rarst Version numbers are useful, but also a performance hog, so I'm on the fence on whether removing them from WP is good or not

@obenland @rarst Doesn't seem like something which should be part of a default theme. Although I think that of most things in 2010 &2011.

@Rarst 24 hours later, and bits of my site began breaking as the Cloudfront cache purged itself!

@Rarst I made the mistake of switching Cloudfront to not pass query var information (apparently it's faster).

@Rarst Any query vars of any sort. There's a plugin I found that does it for you, so solved that problem last night.

@omrisancho Random.

@obenland Thanks. I fixed it across my whole network via a plugin … http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/remove-script-stylesheet-versions/trunk/remove-script-style-versions.php

@wpengine @ryancduff @austingunter Here's the 0% improvement report … http://speed.wpengine.com/report.php?hellyerkiwi_id=120806_13_WHJ

@ryancduff Yeah, I like @wpengine. I just thought it was an amusingly honest thing to put in a report. I wonder if I can make it negative?

Found it 🙂 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-script-stylesheet-versions/ @no_fear_inc

@no_fear_inc There's a plugin that does it. I even used it last week, but I'm struggling to find it via searching.

@no_fear_inc I need to do it to all enqueued scripts unfortunately.

@no_fear_inc This is for built in stuff, like jQuery which I don't directly add a parameter for.

I need to remove query vars from enque scripts, fast. Any tips?

Doh! It seems I definitely have CDN problems 🙁 Or at least I can see problems with a different file.

lolz, @wpengine are going to speed my website up by 0.0% 😉 https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/files/2012/08/wpengine-report.png

Is anyone out there NOT able to see this stylesheet? https://random.hellyer.kiwi/files/pressabl/style.css?ver=3.4.1. Just wondering if my CDN is playing up depending on locale.

@JJJ @jdub @wpengine Do you mean BuddyPress needs caching in it's default theme? Or is it theme related, but internal to BuddyPress?

@Krogsgard @SiobhanPMcKeown Heh, some mad Australian and some fist wielding dude from Birmingham are gonna come to Norway to visit me. Yay!
