@Schack I'm currently in København. If you are free over Easter I'd love to meet up.

Nam nam. Drinking beer at a little Irish bar in Copenhagen 🙂

Oh, and their link offer was per year, except the plugin wrote the links directly to the database so they intended it to be permanent.

So that offer to buy links I was made yesterday … $175 for 1724 links on my site. Erm, don't think I'll be taking them up on that offer 😛

On train travelling to Stockholm 🙂

@five15design Europa was a Dunedin company? Random. I assumed it was from Europe!

RT @lumpysimon: switched to @ryanhellyer's spam destroyer plugin on http://transitionculture.org – living up to its name so far, no misses &am …

@lumpysimon Freakin' sweet 🙂

@TCBarrett I don't know. I've asked to review the plugin, so I might find out then.

Terrific new news site about WordPress. Highly recommended http://workingwithwordpress.tumblr.com/ via @bowefrankema

@jan_dembowski I got the tweet, I just gave a serious response anyway 😛

@rhyswynne @basvandenbeld Awesome! I've asked for a copy of the plugin to review. If it works out, I'll come join you with the pina coladas.

@rhyswynne @basvandenbeld Making your millions yet?

@jan_dembowski Email is much more difficult unfortunately.

I received an email this morning offering money for installing an ad injecting plugin on https://geek.hellyer.kiwi. Anyone else receive this?

@Krogsgard Akismet should work really well in concert with Spam Destroyer.

@Krogsgard I'm super keen to see a quantified comparison between Spam Destroyer and Akismet and another with a combo of the two.

@S4nc0 Nope. The user would have to be doing something really weird, like not using a web browser for that to happen.

@S4nc0 I meant it let one spam message through. I've never noticed any legit comments get blocked.

@S4nc0 Totally invaluable, it was spam!

16812 spams and only one false positive 🙂 https://plus.google.com/u/0/110903788122203327516/posts/MXHMpMwidAr

@ipstenu Was their last name Zuckerberg or Page by any chance?

The Spam Destroyer has blocked 99.99% of the spam on my site for March so far 🙂 That's an improvement from 99.94% in February.

@trepmal If you ever see much doing something like that, please take me outside and beat me with the common-sense stick.

@trepmal What the heck was that dirname dirname dirname thing from?

@tommcfarlin Thanks! It's not me that needs the devs, so I'll send the source directly to your contact page to get in touch.

@tommcfarlin @Krogsgard @paul_wp It is a problem when you are trying to help put workers in touch with employers 😛

@Krogsgard @paul_wp That seems to be a common problem

Any WooCommerce gurus looking for work?

Somebody made one of my simplest plugins even simpler! http://picomol.de/simplest-colorbox/

@ipstenu Thanks 🙂

@ipstenu Do I control that? Or do I ask one of you lovely .org folks to help me with that?

@ipstenu I always thought you had to do it by removing the plugin from SVN>

@ipstenu How do I close a plugin then?

Any ideas on how best to solve this predicament @ipstenu? https://random.hellyer.kiwi/comment-errors/

@trepmal Sony would be the most major one in the past few years. That was credit card numbers too.

@scribu That would be an interesting project, that's for certain.

Great article from @SiobhanPMcKeown with tips on becoming a WP Pro … http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2013/03/20/practical-tips-top-wordpress-pros/. It features a quote from yours truly too 🙂

@grobertson @film_girl A VERY lucky sonovabitch!

@bjornjohansen @lgranstad I use child themes if I need to replicate large chunks of a theme across multiple sites. Only rarely though.

@lgranstad I only rarely use child themes.

@Rarst That would annoy me quite a lot. I guess someone could write a Chrome app. to block them though.

I just discovered that it is possible to turn off the stupid chat thing in gMail and Google+. Wish I'd known that before.

RT @ipstenu: Huh, @ryanhellyer wrote a color box plugin. *switches to that*

@ipstenu 🙂 The other ones all seemed a bit crappy hence I wrote my own.

New OMG blog and info. about Firefox the watch … http://omgfirefox.com/firefox-os-smart-watch-coming-this-june/

@Rarst @ipstenu I've never used it as I was afraid of what would happen if Google turned it off.

@Rarst @ipstenu I wasn't aware you can use your own domain with Feedburner.

@ipstenu I think they're kinda stuck with Feedburner, as killing it off would destroy the feeds for many websites.

@SiobhanPMcKeown You wear contacts normally?
