@jess_green I did it once upon a time. Some dick announced it on his blog :/ First I knew of it was when @jeffr0 sent me a link to the post. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402595413867638784

@lukerollans In that case, don’t use plugins made by those whose teeth have fallen out! … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402584218817290240

@Jghazally bahahaha! Nice way to look at it. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402583869062668288

Dear WordPress plugin devs. Don’t inject $_POST straight into the DB without checking who sent it first 😛 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402572894687207424

@curtismchale @fictionedge @jesterstear Most of my “Photoshop” work is just clipping images out. The GIMP is fine for that simplicity. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402529858028572672

@TCBarrett It’s a 13″ MacBook Air I got about 18 months ago. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402529503240794112

@fictionedge @jesterstear @curtismchale Latest version of GIMP is 10x improvement over old, so is fine for most of what I do thankfully. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402513128124329985

@fictionedge @jesterstear @curtismchale Photoshop is indeed an annoying shortcoming on Linux. Thankfully I rarely need it. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402512768613744640

@DeFries @bjornjohansen Are you running 12.04LTS with PHP5.4? I had a devil of a job making it upgrade without shit breaking, so I gave up. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402133022868512768

@jaredatch My experiences with Linux have been comparable to OSX, with sporadic reboots required. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402126315513716736

@jaredatch In my experience, OSX requires a lot more frequent rebooting than Windows. I could go many months between reboots on Windows XP. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402126171707834370

@ryancduff @no_fear_inc Admittedly, I haven’t given anything else a good try though. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402099501756055554

@ryancduff @no_fear_inc The only issues I’ve had with Ubuntu are poor power management on MacBook’s and a lack of support for newer software … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402099373565542401

@markoheijnen @bjornjohansen The LTS also only supports the REALLY OLD version of The GIMP, which is utter crap. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402086381075566592

@markoheijnen @bjornjohansen Current LTS version is 5.3 I believe. Still old though. They should update that IMO. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402086244521619456

@bjornjohansen I broke multiple local installs trying to make PHP5.5 work. Not sure why, but it always got fried during the upgrade :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402086129849364480

@bjornjohansen But I’ve decided not to upgrade my website until the next LTS comes out. Should be about six months away I think. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402085889117278208

@bjornjohansen If I was setting up a new box right now, I’d probably go with non-LTS just to get the correct repos. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402085759353896960

@bjornjohansen I figure if I need a PPA, then a jump to non-LTS isn’t a big step. However, this is for my MacBook Air, not my website. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402085614365179905

Visiting Vikas in Tübingen – http://t.co/41y1E43Ux8 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402062111003934720

@porreirinha @no_fear_inc 12.04 has advantage of being an LTS, so you won’t need to upgrade for a long time. 13.10 only lasts 9 months :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402036168810053632

@no_fear_inc Something was stopping it installing in my Ubuntu 12.04 install, hence I upgraded my whole system. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402035780216160256

@no_fear_inc Have you tried the VIP Quickstart Vagrant thingy? … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402035644077469697

@no_fear_inc Lucky I realised it’s PHP5.5, as my next task was to install APC (which is redundant in PHP5.5). … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402035502398078976

@porreirinha @no_fear_inc My server is local, so 13.10 is fine. May not be best option for live server though. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402035285510586368

@bjornjohansen I just found that Ubuntu 13.10 installs PHP5.5 by default. No more dicking around with PPA’s 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402035060708487169

@no_fear_inc Ahhhh, and I just discovered that 13.10 loads PHP5.5 by default 🙂 I killed my install last time I tried to put 5.5 on 12.04. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402034478862041088

@no_fear_inc Ubuntu 12.04 is what I tried with previously. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402033840262500353

@no_fear_inc I’m using Ubuntu 13.10 this time around. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402033538012549120

@no_fear_inc Is that because only morons use Ubuntu or because Ubuntu is hard to setup a LEMP stack on? … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402033215504150528

Every time I try to setup a LEMP stack I feel like a moron. But every time I do it, I feel like I learned 10x more than the last time. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/402029452324249600

@Rarst @johnpbloch Egads. Who would have thought the English language could be so complex! … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/401029878566641664

@Rarst I love how I get my English advice from a non-native speaker 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400999263054082049

@Rarst @joetek Thanks for the quick explanation 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400999089481207808

@mikepratt Are you sure English people say “remove”? That seems a bit odd. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400998985097568256

In regards to my previous tweet … I assume it’s the second one, but I have no idea why :/ … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400998079882461184

Attention grammar Nazis: Which is correct? “I hate it when Spotify remove songs” or “I hate it when Spotify removes songs”? … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400997926530715648

Hmmm, start what looks like a monumental task. 20 mins later … done. My day is starting off well 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400952695747788800

@jeffr0 I think that website designs are typically way too complicated for it to be of much use. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400567122000359424

Fun typing game … http://t.co/iTLrxJqJ02. I got 003833 with 62.3 words/minute and 97.3% accuracy. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400290291380662272

@jarlebergersen Yes, but what makes me so? … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400239897241726977

@Rarst @rmccue Hang on. Does this mean that echo short tags are not a bad thing to use? … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400220732732743680

Oops, that was meant to be “echo short tags”. Thanks to @rarst for the clarification. In other news, don’t use those things. They’re stupid. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400220367093899264

The term for the thing mentioned in my last tweet is “short tags” … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400218763150508032

@Rarst @pgibbs @mustardbees Thanks 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400218681403510784

What is the technical term for when you write PHP tags like this? …. “<?= ” instead of “<?php ” … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/400217961417682944

@joshbetz I might tackle setting it up again next week when I reinstall my OS. Then I’ll have a nice fresh machine to install it on 🙂 … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399280114170871808

@joshbetz People have suggested it has something to do with my not using NFS. Page loads feel like they take maybe 50x longer than normal. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399278521253920768

@rmccue I’ve met them all. I just haven’t met all their friends. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399205379412070400

@andrea_r He did apparently find his way home though, so he didn’t freeze thankfully. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177966116405248

@andrea_r No building manager. Just a cold stairwell. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177833425436672

@andrea_r Turned out he was a friend of friend of my flatmate, and someone had let him in, then left him. I guess he got lost in our house. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177769659428864

@andrea_r I wasn’t about to let him stay inside though. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177557251473408

@andrea_r It’s kinda cold out there, so I’m wondering if that was maybe a bad idea. He could have curled up and frozen to death. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177483226193920

@andrea_r I forced him into the stairwell outside our apartment. … http://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/status/399177314334167041
