@Rarst @ipstenu @Tarendai I took a peep at the "competitor". Mine is more "in yer face" and works when logged out, so I'll keep it going.

@ipstenu I'll fix that once I'm home 🙂

@Tarendai @rarst Darn. I didn't realise there was a plug-in already out there for that.

@ipstenu Thanks 🙂 Hopefully someone finds it useful.

Know when you are on localhost when messing with hosts files https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2696. Concept courtesy of @konstruktors.

Cool new plugin from @pgibbs for BuddyPress translations http://wprealm.com/blog/buddypress-translations-to-help-translate-your-buddypress-site/

@bjornjohansen I received a few bug reports over past month that I figure out.

@bjornjohansen Spam Destroyer seems buggy with contact forms, BuddyPress, site registrations etc.

@bjornjohansen It is working very well for basic sites. It doesn't handle non blog comment forms well though.

@bjornjohansen Takk 🙂 Jeg trenger gjøre mer arbeid på det.

The solution to my confusion, was that a leading zero represents an octal number. Answer courtesy of @markoheijnen and @no_fear_inc.

@no_fear_inc Thanks 🙂

Any ideas on what is happening with my PHP script? It does weird stuff when I stick a zero in front … http://pastebin.com/yZSkCxhJ

RT @pwcc: Does pls RT actually result in more retweets? Pls RT.

New http://app.net WordPress widget from my colleague @Th0masMB http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tmb-adn-embed-and-widget/

@ipstenu I love S3 and Cloudfront though! They're the bomb.

@ipstenu They're expensive too. I like the idea, but they're no panacea like some people make out.

@ipstenu These big companies need to distribute their EC2 instances across multiple EC2 data centers to avoid this happening.

@ipstenu Reddit is down due to Amazon problems.

@MaryFrances110 Are you still needing help with that WordPress issue you tweeted about the other day? I only saw it now.

@Hexxeh I want an Ubuntu tablet with a keyboard dock to use as my primary machine. So +1 on the "hurry up and release it" 🙂

@kgjerstad I've played Broomball before, both in New Zealand and Canada.

@kgjerstad Bandy is of course far more popular in Sweden though. Definitely the wrong country for that. Still more popular than NZ though!

@kgjerstad I'm also injured, so not likely to be playing any time soon, if ever 🙁 I'm thinking of trying Bandy at some point though.

@macsolve I've heard of people using Sphinx which I think they use on http://WordPress.org, but it looks a pain to setup.

@macsolve My Norwegian language skills are sketchy at best, my Swedish language skills … non existent 😉

@macsolve Ahh, I misread your tweet. You HAVE tried it and are happy with it 🙂

@macsolve Have you tried that search plugin?

@keithdsouza Android phones do that by default. I assume there is some sort of export tool you get a dump of the data from.

@wysija I don't know anyone who went from Norway.

@wysija I was going to go but decided not to.

Hmm, Chrome OS decided to switch me BACK to the non-OSX style of scrolling again. Guess that's what I get for using the beta channel!

@no_fear_inc @scottbasgaard Asterix is awesome. This is my current bedtime reading 🙂 https://random.hellyer.kiwi/?attachment_id=105

@Gvein 8%? That's insane.

RT @b_wildered: Best photo EVER. http://twitpic.com/b690pz

@scottbasgaard It takes me so long to figure out the funny bits in Donald Duck that they are no longer funny.

@scottbasgaard I enjoy reading Asterix comic books. It's easier than Donald Duck as the humour doesn't get lost in the words so much.

@scottbasgaard Awesome 🙂

If you speak Norwegian, I could do with some assistance with my homework 🙂 https://random.hellyer.kiwi/sett-inn-et-av-verbene-i-riktig-form/

@SiobhanPMcKeown Yay 🙂

@SiobhanPMcKeown Not yet 😉

@SiobhanPMcKeown I put my rate on my website to scare people off. I don't have time for much extra work.

@harrietvsworld I'm not going to be told off if I don't do it though. I'll just fall behind in class.

@harrietvsworld Compulsory? Well I guess it's compulsory if I don't want to be a monolingual moron.

My Norwegian language homework is hurting my brain! https://random.hellyer.kiwi/

Ohhh, just discovered I can change my Chromebooks wallpaper now. Anyone know if that's a new update too? Or just something I've missed?

New Chromebooks announced yesterday. Big update today. I'm guessing that's not a coincidence.

Hmm, Chromebook appears to fixed an ongoing Chrome sync bug I've been experiencing too. Good day to be a Chromebook owner it seems.

Not only is it flipped, but I think my Chromebook is two-finger scrolling a LOT faster now too. Much less jerky than it was a few hours ago.

Egads, my Chromebook just flipped it's two finger scroll direction like how OSX did a while back. Very confusing.

@XanaduHowTo I'm resorting to eating cheap nasty pizza by myself for dinner tonight. We must make up for it tomorrow 🙂

@nakrissimo Warghhh! All the pretty girls are busy this evening 🙁 I'm going to go buy pizza to make up for it 🙂

@nakrissimo Wanna come join me for more poison then?

@nakrissimo Poisoned? That doesn't sound good at all! I might go get a kebab 🙂 (which is probably also poisoned)

@nakrissimo Damnit! That last tweet of yours is making me hungry. What was that? And can I get one in Grunnerløkka?

@ryandonsullivan Grow more crops 😉 My guess (based on not much) is that this is not of practical use, or at least not for creating fuel.

@ryandonsullivan I get the concept, but I'd have thought it was more efficient to just grow more plants and convert them into alcohol.

@nakrissimo I'd rather poke my own eyeballs out with a stick.

@nakrissimo Minnie TheBruiser informs you have a much better surface now which will be good. Rubber didn't seem all that appealing.

@nakrissimo Yep, my rollerhockey skates.

@nakrissimo I'm not sure how long they'll take to arrive. Hopefully only a few weeks, but we'll see.

@nakrissimo I've FINALLY ordered for my skates to be sent from New Zealand! Rollerderby reffing here I come!

@TurcuCiprian My ChromeBook has WAYY better battery life so is ideal for travel so long as I don't need to do dev work.

@TurcuCiprian My only issue with the ChromeBook, is that if I want to work whilst travelling, I need my MacBook.

@TurcuCiprian I only use those things for work. Everything else in the browser for me.

@TurcuCiprian What apps do you use? I don't generally use any. I try to stay in a browser at all times.

@TurcuCiprian FYI, I've been using my Chromebook all evening.

@TurcuCiprian It's also by far the most secure thing you could reasonably use for internet banking. So they're ideal if you are paranoid.

@TurcuCiprian There are a small minority of us out there who use ChromeBook's.

@TurcuCiprian Oh, and complex photo editing, but basic stuff I do via the ChromeBook's built in photo editing tool.

@TurcuCiprian I don't use non-web apps apart from for dev. work.

@TurcuCiprian I guess I use it like people do an iPad, but it has a keyboard and screen.

I use my MacBook Air for dev work, but everything else I do on my Chromebook. @TurcuCiprian

@TurcuCiprian Er, … computer stuff? lol, not sure how to answer that.

I use my MacBook Air about half the time. Rest of the time I use my Chromebook. @jstr

I wan't planning on replacing my trusty Chromebook, but this is VERY tempting! … http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/samsung-chromebook.html Doesn't even have a fan!

I recall something being mentioned about WordPress handling high res. displays better in version 3.5. Any ideas on where that's at?

RT @squaregirl: A guy just jumped out of space and we still can't properly vertically align with CSS.

@PauldeWouters Oh, I see 🙂

@PauldeWouters Not impressed with what?

@Rarst I don't think I can recall seeing a computer with a Mic input in the back. They're usually on the sides or sometimes the front.

@no_fear_inc I wish they'd just use regular audio/mic inputs. Much simpler that way.

@dave_sherratt Cool 🙂 Thanks for the update. Are you able to watch the YouTube feed? YouTube is still down for me unfortunately.

@no_fear_inc No idea. I have a Logitech headset, but it's kinda crappy as it only works via USB.

Introducing Marble the chameleon … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/2012/10/14/marble/

@Hexxeh I suspect @FeIixBaumgartnr might feel otherwise 😛

@Hexxeh Yep, @FeIixBaumgartnr broke YouTube.

@dave_sherratt He remember he had a stability chute. Maybe that slowed him down during the freefall bit?

@williamsba Your country rules at space exploration. It'd be great to see you guys doing some more totally insane stuff like in the 60's.

@omrisancho That definitely explains my confusion. I was assuming he'd need to be doing some totally insane speed to manage it.

@omrisancho Speed of sound gets slower at higher altitudes, I thought it was the opposite. HEADBANG!

@omrisancho Oh shit. NOW I get it. I had it around the wrong way!

@omrisancho I assumed that was at a very high altitude though.

@omrisancho I'm cynical. I'd have thought the air would slow him down too much once he approached the surface. I'll do some googling …

@omrisancho What was the link for? I don't see anything about using gravity to break it on there.

@SiobhanPMcKeown YouTube has caches all over the globe, so it was probably a local cache that maxed out perhaps.
