@sanchothefat @rarst The file API in WordPress always hurts my head.

@sanchothefat @rarst Yep, there's a file API in WordPress. I was trying to make it work ready for a patch yesterday, but failed.

@Rarst @sanchothefat I auto-send my CSS files to S3 via WordPress, so since the upload hook doesn't fire, my CSS broke.

@Rarst @sanchothefat Your one on Github

@Rarst @sanchothefat I had problems with wp-less on a new server too. It was because it doesn't use the WordPress media upload tools.

@GaryJ @Otto42 Are you moving them to Github? In which case, perhaps do a plugin update including an autoupdater from Github.

RT @rhyswynne: Top post from @ryanhellyer on @wprealm – Why you should stop your plugin from updating – http://bit.ly/VuyGI7

New blog about WordPress plugin development that I hadn't seen before http://hardcorewp.com/. Authored by @mikeschinkel.

@rmccue @mikeschinkel Never seen it. Signing up now.

@mikeschinkel @rmccue The WordPress forums perhaps? There's an ideas section I think.

@TrondLyngbo @scottcowley @konstruktors @ronalfy @scottbasgaard I don't think WordPress is very good for large scale web stores.

The new mega upload from @KimDotcom is up and running apparently … http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/mega-launches-early-users-publishes-pricing-premium-accounts-ck-134684

@NinjaLikesCheez Ubuntu. Virtualbox is what I use.

@NinjaLikesCheez I don't have a disk drive, so that wouldn't matter 😉 I just want something I can install Photshop on in a virtual box.

@NinjaLikesCheez I don't spose you have a decent copy of XP kick around do you?

@NinjaLikesCheez What on earth are you using Windows for?

@gormer That's rather large for what I have in mind. It might take me more work getting it working than a custom build.

@perezbox Some of your pages appear to be down … http://tonyonsecurity.com/2012/11/14/responsible-disclosure/

@EventEspresso It's looking good so far. Will you be coming?

@BinaryMoon I've been told I will never get a day off work due to snow here 😉

@BinaryMoon @bryonymorris @kieranjallen Snowball fights rule 🙂

@no_fear_inc @Rarst How would you get the server array from an image request? It should be only whatever information the browser sends thru.

@danhgilmore @Rarst @no_fear_inc @rmccue Since no one is questioning my sanity yet, I'll roll with PHP/MySQL and an image tag 🙂

@rmccue @Rarst Thanks for the name 🙂

@Rarst Piwik is not useful for what I have in mind. I need something more custom. The image concept is a good one though.

@no_fear_inc PHP is probably okay for the programming language, but I'm thinking MySQL may not be the best approach for storage.

@no_fear_inc I don't think that relates XSRF since it's not executing JS. That is what I had in mind though on how to implement it.

I need to track hits to pages on sites I don't control. I can get a simple img tag added, but that's about it. Anyone tried this before?

@rhyswynne If you want more snow, come join us here 🙂 http://2013.norway.wordcamp.org/program/ We don't have KFC though.

@rhyswynne Oslo doesn't get as much snow as I thought. I always envisaged it being covered in meter deep dumps of snow during the winter.

@rhyswynne Sounds like an absolutely necessary trip to me.

@craig_martin Well that has to be one of the more random places to get accommodation.

@JohnPBloch Good eh 🙂 I made the move about six months ago and have been extremely happy with the performance ever since.

@craig_martin Hospital? I hope you meant hotel.

@craig_martin A combination of Cookies for Comments and WP Hashcash may be a better option until I've sorted out BuddyPress support.

@craig_martin If you pass through Oslo, there is a couch in my living you are welcome to crash on.

@craig_martin Nope 😉 https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2013/01/02/christmas-at-toko-mouth/

@craig_martin I moved here at the start of last year. I assume you are still roaming the world?

@craig_martin It may stop people from signing up, but I'm not sure. It should handle comment spam well though.

@craig_martin I don't know. People have been reporting problems. I need to do some testing.

@SiobhanPMcKeown Awww, I liked that angle. So you won't be making use of my sexy picture?

New blog post from moi. Why you shouldn't update your plugins …. http://wprealm.com/blog/why-you-should-stop-your-plugin-from-updating/

@craig_martin I don't think it handles user registration properly.

@SiobhanPMcKeown @Rarst Is this photo for what I think it's for?

@Rarst @SiobhanPMcKeown Nice photo. It really shows off your eyes well.

@amberweinberg What opinion was that?

Note to self: Don't leave bedroom window open overnight when it's -17°.

@tollmanz @sanchothefat Oh that's weird. I never would have guessed is_numeric() counted stuff like that as numerical.

@no_fear_inc Any ideas at which point it'll max out? We're heading towards 1.6 million fairly quickly.

@Rarst @tommcfarlin I've never used that site before.

@Rarst @tommcfarlin What is WPSE?

@tommcfarlin I'm hoping I get lots of responses. Only one so far is from @rarst who has only worked with small databases.

@Rarst Some pre-warning would be nice 😉 Hopefully it'll start slowing down to warn us before it properly chokes.

@Rarst I have one sitting at 1,000,000 already and growing by the day. Wondering where it'll max out.

What's the maximum number of post meta rows you've seen in a (well functioning) WordPress install on a single server?

@markjaquith Same here. Ditto for my ATM pin number.

RT @trepmal: Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom?

The ‘P’ is silent.

New Zealand is the greatest country on earth. Not exactly news, but nice to see more people noticing 🙂 … http://crooksandliars.com/nonny-mouse/greatest-nation-earth-isnt-us

@bronsonquick @bjornjohansen I didn't realise WordPress feeds also call the "init" hook. When I requested the feed, it requested itself!

@bronsonquick @bjornjohansen It was a script which did an http request back to itself and hence went into an infinite loop.

Diagnosed a PHP bug based on the sound my MacBook fan made and via assistance from @bjornjohansen 🙂

@EricMann That's awesome, not ominous. If someone didn't intentionally install an extension, then it's malicious and should be removed.

@JoeySales She's quite a bit better now 🙂

@ngaireackerley Trip back to New Zealand?

@Krogsgard I think I'll end up hacking up the one by @wpmayor. It seems my specs are too specific for an off the shelf plugin unfortunately.

I spent over an hour working on a major bug. @ronalfy fixed it for me in about 10 seconds 🙂

@NinjaLikesCheez I think you meant "mitigating" BTW

@NinjaLikesCheez Are you attacking the "CDN only" site or my actual live site?

@NinjaLikesCheez In what way is it not playing nice?

@NinjaLikesCheez There is ice everywhere apart from on the paths and roads 😉

@NinjaLikesCheez We had snow, but it's all frozen into a thick sheet of ice now.

@NinjaLikesCheez Send some of it our way please. It's -17° and dry here at the moment. Lots of ice, but no snow.

@wpmayor @jennybeaumont That sounds good. Can I make it handle custom fields?

@curtismchale Thanks. We're testing it now and finding no problems.

@jennybeaumont @wpmayor It's the "not indefinitely" which will be a problem for me.

@jennybeaumont @wpmayor I thought it said in the documentation that it only caches them temporarily.

@jennybeaumont @wpmayor Unfortunately I actually need to store the posts, so WP RSS Aggregator won't cut the mustard unfortunately.

@jennybeaumont @wpmayor WP rss aggregator does look like it has substantially nicer code than the other plugins I've been looking at.

RT @markjaquith: This year’s challenge for site builders is to axe unnecessary per-user HTML customization. Do it in JS. Cache *one* ver …

@no_fear_inc That looks quite promising. Thanks for the link.

@ooberdave Thanks. Checking it now.

I need a feed aggregator plugin for WordPress. Any recommendations?

@DeFries That's odd. Not sure how you ended up with a capital d.

@kovshenin Great to hear about the visa coming through 🙂

@scottbasgaard I wrote a list of our dream list of speakers and contacted them directly. Almost every single one (you included) signed up!

@scottbasgaard We kept the best for last.

@DeFries @NiklasHogefjord @noeltock @SiobhanPMcKeown I hate Norwegian food. How WordCamp Norway became known for food is baffling to me.

@noeltock @SiobhanPMcKeown @NiklasHogefjord @DeFries WordCamp Norway 2012 had reindeer.
