@mikeschinkel I'd put the entire admin panel setup in that basket, not just the menus.

@EricMann I've seen it three times now I think. All times were due to incorrect assumptions on the presence of the ?> tag at file end.

@EricMann Yup. It wasn't a WordPress attack though, just a generic PHP attack that didn't work properly since the JS wasn't executing.

@mikeschinkel I've previously hacked around the issue by redirecting based on query vars. Not exactly an elegant solution thought.

@mikeschinkel That's a very confusing way to explain it, but I think I follow now. I've experienced similar problems previously.

@mikeschinkel Can you point me in the direct of what it does other than delete some menu items and add some custom post-types?

@mikeschinkel I find that a little hard to GROK. Gonna install the plugin to see what it actually does.

@mikeschinkel What are you actually wanting to do to the admin menu system in WordPress?

@brianlayman Glad to hear it's useful to you 🙂

Please keep the compliments flowing @Ipstenu. It's not often my ego gets stroked like this 🙂

RT @Ipstenu: Some days I see a plugin and wonder 'WTH?' other days I go 'Oh! Me wants!' … now available in repository http://bit.ly/KqpUCG

@DeFries http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-errors/

@DeFries @ipstenu It's called "Comment Errors". I'll be uploading it to the repository in about 20 minutes.

@Ipstenu Thank you 🙂

@Ipstenu All I found were people bitching about the lack of a solution and/or posting core hacks to fix it.

@Ipstenu I was actually wondering if there was already such a plugin out there. But my Google'ing showed nought.

RT @Ipstenu: Some days I see a plugin and wonder 'WTH?' other days I go 'Oh! Me wants!' Today @ryanhellyer made a cool one 😀

@Ipstenu Ahh, that one 🙂 You can thank the wonderful Norwegian government for that. They requested it this afternoon.

@Ipstenu To be honest, I have no idea which plugin you are referring to … off to check.

@carlhancock I despise low res. screens but love lightweight computers. The combination currently doesn't work well together unfortunately.

@carlhancock I've been think that if they release a retina version of it then I might switch.

@nakrissimo Later that night? Or later as in another week? Either way, I'm keen to hear about it 🙂

@nakrissimo I'd also need to find something to talk about. I mostly want to go uber super nerd overload, but that puts people to sleep 🙁

@nakrissimo I could get up and present something myself, but people are going to very rapidly get sick of me if I keep doing that!

@nakrissimo Not yet. Any chance you are keen to present something? A "non-Metronet" person would be nice for once 🙂

@carlhancock Do you use the 11.6" Air as your primary machine?

@nakrissimo Damn, I was hoping you were going to bring an S3 for me to try out on Tuesday 🙂

@DeFries Same!

@DeFries Yep, I'll be at Edinburgh. I'm presenting.

@nakrissimo Yer changing to iPhone?

@DeFries It seems they are indeed a Norwegian website … http://blog.gitorious.org/2011/02/03/an-update-on-the-sony-dmca-issue/

@DeFries Yeah, but you need to have 20 meetings about it, involving 10 people each time, then pay all those people. Plus paper work 😉

@DeFries Government organisations are slow moving beasts. Best to take the easiest approach to doing things 🙂

@DeFries That would probably cost a fortune to implement so is not viable for us.

@DeFries Gitorious crashes too much and it's really slow.

@DeFries It has some connection to Norway somewhere along the line apparently. I'm not sure of the details.

@DeFries At Metronet we use Beanstalk and for my personal stuff I use GitHub.

@DeFries I'm working for the Norwegian government who don't like using things owned by or hosted outside of Norway.

@milo317 But you could be in sunny Scotland instead? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3039/342293056… … oh, wait … I think you chose the better option 😉

@JohnONolan Code wise, or styling wise?

@JohnONolan What do you prefer about it?

@milo317 I'm guessing you meant to say "week"? In which case have fun wherever it is that you are exploring 🙂

@milo317 Will we see you guys at WordCamp Edinburgh?

@DeFries FYI, that plugin is intended for multi-site use. So site owners can adjust their statistics setup as they see fit.

@DeFries Fishing that plugin out was useful for me. Turns out I had a bug which prevented it working correctly on https.

@DeFries In case it's of any use to you, here's our (kinda simple) custom plugin for it … https://gitorious.org/dss-plugins/dss-statistics

@DeFries We have around 20 sites running on it at the moment, with history going back at least a year. No performance issues I'm aware of.

@DeFries It seems kinda crappy in my experience, but I don't have much to compare it with other than hosted platforms.

@DeFries I'm attempting to use piwik right now actually. I had to write a plugin for it last week. What would you like to know?

@toddhiestand Either well configured VPS, WP Engine or Pagely seem to be the way to go. WP Engine and Pagely are easier. VPS is cheaper.

@DeFries Is there any particular types of content you are looking to have submitted to http://wprealm.com/?

Exciting new blog about WordPress by @DeFries and co. http://wprealm.com/blog/how-wp-realm-began/

@bronsonquick It probably runs much more slowly in Australia too due to the ping time and less bandwidth.

@bronsonquick @JohnONolan I never care about the speed since I'm just checking for CSS bugs usually.

@JohnONolan I never noticed it was so expensive until you mentioned it. My employers pay for it thankfully.

@Mamaduka That's what I would like to do. Figuring out how is where I am stuck.

@JohnONolan Perhaps you could share an account with others.

Sounds like you need http://www.browserstack.com/ @JohnONolan. Native IE6, 7, 8 and 9 without ever having to run your own Windows box 🙂

@bronsonquick I'm not a coffee drinker. You are tempting me towards a Coke Zero though.

@gcaat Same as any other text messages.

Head bang #2 for the day … just realised WP_PLUGIN_URL doesn't automatically use https, need to use plugins_url() instead!

@bronsonquick I'd rather break the theme so that people know they messed up.

@bronsonquick I'm still having issues getting my image to save. All I have right now is the uploader, but no ability to stash it's content.

RT @wpmu_dennis: Reading: Set WordPress Featured Image Automatically – http://WPengineer.com: http://bit.ly/NX2bB6

self HEAD SMACK! If at first your code doesn't work, wait 5 seconds for the file to upload.

@bronsonquick OMG, lol! It WAS working, I was just uploading such a large file that it took so long that I assumed it was failing!

@bronsonquick Or maybe I'm missing something obvious which is staring me in the face .. more research necessary.

@bronsonquick Yes, and in it he says that he will need to write another tutorial for adding images etc. as they're more complicated.

@bronsonquick That's also easy. Images are not so simple. Either that or I'm doing something wrong.

@bronsonquick They seem to have used the header and background images. That's easy. I need to create a new custom one unfortunately.

Has anyone out there managed to make use of the image uploader/selector in the new WordPress customizer?

@dgwyer Lookin' slick.

RT @dgwyer: Press Coders site redesign is NOW live!! Check it out and let us know what you think: http://www.presscoders.com

@scottbasgaard That doesn't look as good (for me) as most linux distros for windows management. I like to use lots of space.

@scottbasgaard OSX badly clashes with my workflow due to it's lack of support for window'ing features and multiple desktops/workspaces.

@scottbasgaard Nah, it annoyed the heck out of me and so I upgraded back to Ubuntu.

I wonder if there any tablets out there that can act as a second screen for a laptop? @andrea_r

@markjaquith @bgardner 13" MacBook Pro would also suffice.

@markjaquith @bgardner Or if Samsung, Acer etc. start launching "retina" displays, then I might consider one of those instead.

@markjaquith @bgardner I'm hoping for retina Air later in the year. Failing that, I'll upgrade to a MacBook Pro.

@andrea_r I have one of those, but I want a better one. ME'Z NEEDZ MORE SCREENZ!!!

@markjaquith @bgardner I've been on an Air for 3 months. Mostly happy apart from crappy screen and lack of delete/print screen buttons.

@NinjaLikesCheez sicko!

@NinjaLikesCheez Please stay away from Norwegian ducks!

@NinjaLikesCheez It seems that Google translator agrees with me 🙂

@NinjaLikesCheez "knulle en duck" I think. That's actually "fuck one duck", but I think that is how it translates.

I'm up to page 20 of my new Donald Duck comic book 🙂 That wouldn't be such a big deal, except it's in Norwegian 😀

@pgibbs Thanks 🙂 cc/ @ArnsteinLarsen … "Hotel Missoni"

@SiobhanPMcKeown @DeFries @friesibeast Tempting, but I think I'll pass!

@pgibbs Any exciting plans for it?

@pgibbs That would probably suit my boss @ArnsteinLarsen. What's it called?

@WordSkill Any recommendations on where to stay during WordCamp Edinburgh?

@markoheijnen I just heard something about an Airbnb place some are staying at via @DeFries

@DeFries @siobhanpmckeown Sounds like fun!

Where is everyone staying at WC Edinburgh? @SiobhanPMcKeown @markoheijnen @DeFries @noeltock @pgibbs @kevinjohng @ArnsteinLarsen @CoenJacobs

@joetek They need better terminology. Making you select 1920×1200 when it's actually 2880×1800 is just dumb IMO.

Beautiful WordPress plugin code by @bon … http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-user-switching/

@matthancocknz I custom make slideshows. Too much customisation required usually.

@gcaat If I'd known you were going to be in Paris I would have come visited. Probably too late notice now.
