@LisaSabinWilson @chip_bennett How come so much love for get_template_part()? I assumed it was only useful in rare edge cases.

@five15design The ODT's picked up on it now too … http://www.odt.co.nz/sport/other-sport/151428/last-word-ice-tale

@simpledream Don't knock the super calculator, lol! Those things are mega handy. Nobody "borrows" them coz they're so huge 🙂

@ThomasMeadia @dyedredlaura I wonder if he actually believes his own predictions or if this is purely motivated my money and "fame".

@dyedredlaura @ThomasMeadia It's an unfortunate demonstration of the retardedness of our fellow Kiwis.

@ThomasMeadia Ken Ring doesn't bother me at all. However, the fact that so many people I know are retarded enough to listen to him does.

Mother earth doesn't seem very happy with us at the moment.

@bradleypotter But thankfully not as close to any populated areas.

Is @charliesheen the new Chuck Norris?

@_mfields Caching and modifying rewrites never go well together. I've been burned with that many times before. PITA!

@_mfields If you are messing around with custom post-types for the first time, then just try resetting your permalinks.

@nathanrice Agreed. It's a strange microcosm of the world we are working in.

Hello Twitter peeps. Do any of you know of a good jobs board for jQuery questions? A jQuery equivalent of wpquestions.com would be good.

New blog post: Night out with Sushi … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2011/03/06/night-out-with-sushi/

I've had some shockers of unproductive weeks before, but this one takes the cake. It's Friday and I've achieved almost nothing so far 🙁

RT @CJLaing: @charliesheen I have a question for you Charlie: Why does your life rock so much?

Christchurch embassy at Dunedin Railway station needs volunteers and donations … http://on.fb.me/hUjYE9

@five15design Kitty's for your templates … http://placekitten.com/

@five15design Team Canada vs Team USA in New Zealand … http://bit.ly/dWPc4I … or a con job. I'm thinking the latter.

Yusss! Client just offered to buy me an iPhone 🙂

@humphreybc Leaving in 10 mins. Not sure when returning. Possibly today, but depends if we're needed to help up there or not.

If anyone between Dunedin and Christchurch has a spare wheel barrow, please get in touch. The student army needs it desperately.

Off to Christchurch tomorrow morning. Will likely be out of internet contact until then.

@ryancduff Perhaps ask them to upgrade you. Most hosts will shunt you to a PHP5+ server on request.

@ryancduff Yeah, that's what I'm figuring. Most people seem very understanding of the situation.

Instead of working, I'm spending the day packing lunches for volunteers in Christchurch. Hope my clients aren't grumpy!

@alicam Photo appears to be missing.

Thanks for the latest batch of accommodation offers. Keep 'em coming please 🙂 http://otagoquakehelp.com/accomodation-providers/

RT @matthancocknz: Red Cross now has a '2011 Earthquake Appeal Campaign'on their donation page. Please donate. ~ http://www.redcross.org …

@indietravel I'm heading to Dunedin early tomorrow morning on a direct flight.

@andrea_r Thanks for the RSS feed idea. It's now working in the sidebar … http://otagoquakehelp.pressabl.com/

@nztech1e Awesome, thanks. Found the link to http://bit.ly/eF1ZNK on the page 🙂

@andrea_r Thanks 🙂

What's the best way to show Twitter # tags in sidebar of WP install?

The rumour mill says that @iamjohnford left Christchurch this morning so will hopefully be okay.

@anthonycole He shouldn't need accommodation. I think @iamjohnford was just travelling through Christchurch today.

@stacey_roche Glad to hear you made it through. How bad is the shoulder?

Amateur video footage from Christchurch … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt0iIHXFnR0

@CJLaing That'd take me too long. News sites will probably be up by the time I managed that anyway.

More photos added from Christchurch quake … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2699

@indietravel I'm trying to get to Dunedin, flight just happened to stop over there, so hopefully they'll redirect me.

Thanks @dialogCRM. I didn't want to bug them via phone since they're presumably being inundated right now with people more worried than I.

@iamjohnford I hope you aren't in Christchurch right now. The other route may have been better after all! … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2699

This is seriously scary … http://bit.ly/eNvQS2 I'm supposed to fly there in a couple of hours. I don't think I'm going to make it 🙁

@andrea_r Are you planning to live on peanut butter?

@dialogCRM Hope you like my new Twitter pic 🙂

Comic Sans FTW http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comic-sans-ftw/ … via @CoenJacobs

Sigh … away from computer for over two days. Scary amount of email to respond to now 🙁

@matthancocknz Sorry, missed your tweet the other day. Have barely been online since Friday.

Lesson in life. Don't guinea pig test your own website unless you are prepared to accidentally delete it occasionally.

@stommepoes No. I'm in Wellington this week. Will probably be back on Wednesday. What brings you to Dunedin?

@elpie Will I get to meet you in person at WordCamp next weekend?

@andrew_rickmann Sounds like a good project. It wouldn't take much to clone, and if you can improve on it, then that would be terrific.

@ithemes A new plugin for the BackupBuddy plugin … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=1807

@ithemes And just as I ask, @utkarshkukreti has come to the rescue with a solution 🙂 So ignore my previous request 🙂

@ithemes I'm trying to make a plugin for BackupBuddy to make it more useful for WordPress Multisite setups.

@ithemes No problem 🙂 If you can help with my question here I'd be much appreciative though … http://bit.ly/dHFmR6

Thought I stopped spam dead in it's tracks by being smart. Turns out I stopped all comments by being stupid 🙁 Couldn't even comment myself!

@conorpegypt No problem 🙂

Easy peasy captcha to solve … http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/download/id_77574-mode_view

@boardpress Awesome 🙂 http://boardpress.org/

RT @markjaquith: Good writeup of why #! "AJAX" URLs are a terrible idea: http://isolani.co.uk/blog/javascript/BreakingTheWebWithHashBangs

BackupBuddy is da shizzle! Thanks to @ithemes for such an awesome WordPress plugin 🙂

@wpcanada I don't usually mind to much. Except my domains are something I really don't want being stolen.

Congrats to discountdomains.co.nz for being the dumbest registrar of all time. They use https then hand my password around in plaint text!?

@matthancocknz Yep, definitely.

@matthancocknz We should get together with @stacey_roche in Wellington and sort out a WordCamp South Island.

@matthancocknz Will we see you at WordCamp NZ?

New levels of awesomeness … WordPress board game 🙂 … http://bit.ly/f9cNLk

@howbazaar Thanks for the event tonight. How do we find out when these are on? I only found out by overhearing someone talking about it.

@chip_bennett require() is preferred as it loads a smidgeon faster due to not needing to check if the file has been loaded yet or not.

@chip_bennett You shouldn't need to use require_once() in your functions.php of Oneology as functions.php is only loaded once per page load.

@chip_bennett Are you sure you need require_once there at all? I'd have thought plain old require() would be best.

@utkarshkukreti Awesome! Now for the big question …. why did that work?

@utkarshkukreti Thanks. I hadn't even bothered testing it in that yet. Good to know it's consistently not working at least 🙂

An annoying CSS problem for any of you looking for a puzzle to solve 🙂 http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728734
