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

@JellyBeen I've heard bad reports on the boxing, but it seemed to work fine to me. I was expecting MUCH worse.

Bought Kinect sports. 1 hour solid of boxing and I'm totally pooped!

Currently knee deep in e-commerce code. Brain about to explode …

@itsananderson That sounds like an even easier solution 🙂

@JellyBeen I had a hunt through a bunch of those, but they mostly used dirty hacks of some sort. @ronalfy 's solution should work perfectly.

@ronalfy I'd been looking for a filter. Didn't even dawn on me it was stashed in a global. Makes sense now 🙂

@ronalfy Bingo, I found it 🙂 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-in-smileys-hack-for-28

@ronalfy Ohh, that sounds much better 🙂 … and the smilies global is found where?

@jennybeaumont That's a really bad way to do it as it'll break on upgrades. There must be a way to do it properly, I just haven't found it.

@andrea_r Nope, that's just a core hack 🙁 See the installation instructions .. http://bit.ly/erbT0q

@markmcwilliams I am also 80% sure there's a filter but don't know where to find it 🙁

Anyone know how to change the WordPress emoticons? All instructions I've found say to hack the core which I'm sure can't be the only way.

Spammer asked me where I live. I said "Akismet". Spammer isn't replying now. Conversation is over.

Lolz, I'm talking to spammer right now 🙂

@andrea_r Most likely. I just hadn't seen it until I went to get "inspiration" from them and discovered I was allowed to rip it directly 🙂

Kudos to @automattic for releasing their TOS and Privacy policies under CC license. Much appreciated 🙂

@joshkdavies Thanks 🙂 Just saw your message now.

RT @joshkdavies: Constantly amazed by the excellent WordPress work that @ryanhellyer produces!

RT @andrea_r: hey super admins, ever wanna change the contextual help in multisite? Now you can! http://is.gd/ITPNx0

The support at http://musupport.net/ from @andrea_r and @wpmuguru is kick ass!

@Rarst I was a little surprised just how easy it was.

Check out the giant Dragonfly I saw recently in the Matukituki valley … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/dragon-fly1.jpg

@conorpegypt @davecoveney @merrillg @Rarst wp_widget_rss_output() was what I needed 🙂 I found that in the @wpcandy dashboard plugin 🙂

@merrillg Any ideas on how to go about doing that?

@conorpegypt @davecoveney Thanks. I'll go check those plugins out and see what I can pull out of them 🙂

I need to make a WP dashboard widget which displays an RSS feed from a site. Anyone know of a good example of this I can pinch code from?

MS expects me to buy a cable for HDMI w/ RCA audio for XBOX360 when all I need to do is break open the one they provide so it fits!?

@Otto42 I agree. I have a linkedin account, but it does little more than gather dust.

@staceyk18 We should discuss a potential meetup at WordCamp Wellington.

@staceyk18 Yep, I'll be there. We should have a south island WP meetup at some point too! There's quite a few WP themers around the island.

@staceyk18 I thought I was going nuts after the ChCh quakes, but it turned out that 95% of the time I wasn't 😀 Other 5% was probly wind 😀

@staceyk18 Just noticed you are based in NZ. Where are you exactly? I'm based in Dunedin. Nice to see another kiwi WP developer 🙂

RT @staceyk18: RT @wpcandy: Double Happy launches to showcase WordPress as an online game builder http://bit.ly/f828zg

WP developers must be still hung over from New Years. I've gone from zero work, to nothing but "urgent, needs done overnight" jobs.

Plugin for Grunion Form plugin … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/2010/12/23/disable-grunion-admin-link-plugin/

@anthonycole Bahahah. Scary thing is, it's true.

@danmilward I didn't say we're taught we're from Zealandia 😛 Just that we're taught that we are NOT part of Australia.

@carlhancock Last I checked, every school kid in NZ is taught that we're not part of the Australian continent 😛

@danmilward I'm sure as heck not in Australia!

@conorpegypt @wpcandy @carlhancock http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_which_continent_does_New_Zealand_lie

@carlhancock New Zealand is not on the Australian continent … http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_(continent)

@wpcandy I can't do your survey because NZ is on none of the continents listed 😛

Seems @hostgator compiles ALL accounts into one payment. When I knowingly let one account lapse, the other was suspended too!

@hostgator I am totally up to date with payments. You guys screwed up I think. Already in live chat.

@hostgator Has suspended one of my accounts for non-payment … except I am fully up to date with payments from what I can tell!?

RT @blpro: Multi-colored Titles Plugin by PixoPoint http://spla.us/hykFKT

@twittgrinder Glad you liked the plugin 🙂 I wondered if ANYONE would use it as it seems kinda niche.

@five15design 29 °C? Yikes! No wonder I felt like a steak on a BBQ today!

2 plugins released for week plus custom 1 for client 🙂 Will anyone else use them? … questionable … makes me feel warm and fuzzy tho 🙂

Welcome to Twitter @joshkdavies … designer extraordinaire!

Lolz @nacin for recent comment about WP Hackers Mailling list convos.

PixoPoint Email Submit now hosted in the WordPress.org plugin repository … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=1666

@andrea_r It's the "it'll only take 5 mins though" that gets to me. They don't understand that I don't have a spare 1000 x 5 mins in my day!

@itsananderson Awesome! That's exactly what I need 🙂

@itsananderson Thanks. Are you sure it would work vertically though?

New Email submission plugin for WordPress .. https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/products/email-submit/

@AdelineYaw That's an interesting implementation!

@SunleyNZ Any chance you could send me a copy of the menu code? Example etc.? I'm on a rather tight time schedule unfortunately.

@SunleyNZ Hmmm. It's not letting me log in 🙁

@SunleyNZ Thanks. Where on the site is it?

Anyone know of a jQuery example of the following menu effect (without the initial swoop) http://bit.ly/fn4ADP?

@IsraelButson That really sucks. I know the feeling well! Did you get it back in okay?

@thewordpressguy @seancarmody I've replied. But can't give much input. Need to see code to find bug.

@ChrisClayton eBuddy ChromeApp seems buggy and obtrusive advertising. Has potential though.

@ChrisClayton Yeah, many of the Chrome Apps are pointless. Many are just websites getting some free promotion.

@woothemes Sad to hear some idiots are attacking your server. I hope you can get rid of them ASAP!

@ChrisClayton IMO is quite awesome. Tweetdeck is kinda average.

Tweetdeck Chrome App doesn't appear to have desktop notifications 🙁 IMO messaging client does though – excellent app!

@engrique I played Kinect for about two hours last night and pretty much keeled over at the end! I had a good night sleep because of it 🙂

@matthancocknz Darn. Didn't get your tweet in time and bought the Kinect instead.

Just broke out a sweat whilst playing a video game for the first time ever. Kinect FTW!

Would an Xbox360 Kinect be an appropriate toy for a 4 year old boy? Trying to come up with a present to engage whole family.

Chrome Flash sandboxing arrived a day after I installed a Chrome flash blocker … http://bit.ly/idstMt (found via @ChromeBrowser)
