@Tarendai Thanks. Last time I'd heard, it was a similar situation.

Hmm, WordPress grandchild theme!? Is it possible?

@phenomenoodle Yeah, I needed to change the complete theme. Seems to be working well now 🙂

My critical failing was trying to change themes from within an existing theme. Bit like swallowing the red pill @phenomenoodle

Answer to my mobile theme question earlier was add_filter('template', 'change_theme') @phenomenoodle

@phenomenoodle Unfortunately not. It's the changing of themes that I'm stuck on.

@SunleyNZ The ugly cat offsets the rainbow and sparkles quite nicely.

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest for me. How oh how do I force WordPress to use a different theme when browsing via mobile?

@mrjakehumphrey I'd have thought logic would dictate that is a good idea. Some people are not very logical it seems.

@SunleyNZ I'm not sure if that's a joke or not. Is it supposed to be a 404 error poster?

@SunleyNZ You are terrible at making posters. That's half the job done. Now go see @five15design for the other half please 🙂

@AKiwiInGermany I've been planning to go visit my friend Stefanie who also lives near Dusseldorf.

@PShilling Yep, @rarst found the solution immediately. http://queryposts.com/function/get_search_query/

@TurcuCiprian Yes, I was referring to the search query. It's the get_search_query() function http://queryposts.com/function/get_search_query/

@xpd Nope, thanks anyway though. @Rarst found it – http://queryposts.com/function/get_search_query/

@Rarst Thanks 🙂 I knew it had to be something really obvious.

I could swear there is a function in WordPress which outputs the contents of the WP search string. Any ideas what it's called?

@AKiwiInGermany I have a spare bed you are welcome to use if you visit Norway.

@AKiwiInGermany I love Germany so will definitely be visiting at some point. Where in Germany are you? I live in Oslo now.

How many WordPress developers does it take to add the "Update" button to the WP post edit screen. Three so far. More on the way …

@pearsonified It's a minor improvement. But 20 ms on desktop could easily be +100 ms on a low powered mobile device which is significant.

@pearsonified Sounds like a sensible way to do it.

@pearsonified Ohhh, interesting! You should post your test results. Sounds like an interesting experiment.

@pearsonified Are you sure you aren't just measuring the difference in file sizes? ie: large CSS file takes longer to load than a small one?

@pearsonified How do you measure the rendering time? I can measure load times, but I've never thought about actual rendering times before.

@pearsonified Thanks. Sounded like you were doing some sort of on the fly compiling of CSS files, which would have been slower.

@pearsonified What one earth does "Thesis templates compile faster" mean?

Apparently I am "The “aha” blogger" http://krogsgard.com/2012/on-quality-writing-in-the-wordpress-community/ @Krogsgard

@sabreuse @JellyBeen I did find it very odd when they asked me what a cog was.

@andrea_r Do you have a use for the domain?

@JellyBeen I guess they just call them "gears" over there.

@JellyBeen Nope, just the gear/machine part. I asked in the WP weekly aftershow about it ages back. None of Americans knew what it meant.

@JellyBeen Me too. I was planning to use it, but it seems that USA people don't know what a cog is.

Who wants http://wpcogs.com? It's about to expire and I need to get rid of it.

Lolz RT @andrea_r forum thread: " Help me Obi Wan! You're my only hope!" Me : " here's the droid you;re looking for"

@no_fear_inc Very soon too I believe 🙂

@no_fear_inc You should definitely write about WordCamp Sofia on WP Realm 🙂 I wanna read about it!

@Jghazally I think people should use whatever works best for them. Personally, I like simplicity and a good search and replace tool.

@Jghazally VIM? Jeepers. Hard core.

@ormanclark Oddly, some other theme companies do use publicly available download links.

@omrisancho The update plugin? You can also use SVN with a Cron job, that's what I do.

@zamoose @williamsba BAAAAAAA! … for some reason that makes me feel at home.

@GaryPendergast My colleague @konstruktors might have some good ideas for it too.

@GaryPendergast If you can make it work with the beta tester plugin, that would be handy too 🙂

@GaryPendergast They're used to be a plugin for this I think, but it disappeared after the update button was added to core.

@GaryPendergast That allows users to do it manually if they have time and failing that, it'll do it for them automagically.

@GaryPendergast I'd email the site owner to alert them to update, then if they don't do it themselves force it 12 hours later.

@GaryPendergast We were talking about building something similar at @metronet, but you conveniently beat us to it 🙂

Cool new plugin for keeping your WordPress powered site up to date … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/automatic-updater/

@AKiwiInGermany Welcome to Twitter 🙂

@markjaquith I somehow ended up involved with building a WordPress site for John McCain once. I charged him double my normal rate 🙂

@SiobhanPMcKeown $600

@SiobhanPMcKeown That seems very cheap. They were more expensive when I was looking in NZ.

@MaorH @SiobhanPMcKeown I didn't think they'd be much better until trying friends pair. Put them on -> TOTAL SILENCE! Quite freaky actually.

@MaorH @SiobhanPMcKeown Upgrading to the wireless Bose noise cancelling would be good too. Costs even more!

@SiobhanPMcKeown I want some Bose headphones too. 130 pounds seems about right price wise.

@SiobhanPMcKeown Budget option: Cheap inner ear phones with big buds. Ram into your ear. Uncomfortable, but they block out most of noise.

@SiobhanPMcKeown Google indicates that yes, I got it wrong. It's "Bose". So "Bose" are the boss of noise cancelling.

@SiobhanPMcKeown ummmm, whatever that company is that makes noise cancelling headphones is! I thought it was "Boss".

@SiobhanPMcKeown Boss are the boss for noise cancelling headphones

@bluelimemedia Lost internet before replying last night, but decided to go 2 h earlier. Then slept in by an hour! I'm in Oslo now though 🙂

How early do you need to get to the airport for an international flight?

Thanks to @markoheijnen for teaching me how to snag free WiFi 🙂

@zedejose @wp_portugal THANK YOU all for organising WordCamp Portugal. It has been a great experience.

@scottbasgaard I dropped offline sorry. They use a standard European socket.

@karmatosed Thanks 🙂 Wish you were here with us!

@fictionedge Haven't tried it on a live site, but the bandwidth served from the primary server would plummet to basically nothing.

@Mamaduka I probably called it a logo uploader to save explaining the details.

@Mamaduka It was something for the Norwegian government. They needed to upload header text as images as well as a regular header image.

@Mamaduka Not a logo uploader particularly, but an image uploader, and yep I got it working. I can send the code if you like.

@scottbasgaard Locals are complaining about the dreadful weather. I'm sitting outside working on my computer with T-shirt and shorts on.

@angiemeeker It's an excellent little plugin. Does one job and does it well.

@angiemeeker I don't know about Jetpack, but this plugin works beautifully … http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/image-widget/

Drunk Portuguese dude who doesn't speak a word of English is attempting to talk to me. He hasn't realised I don't speak Portuguese yet.

@bjornjohansen I still figured it would be faster in a big city. Most of rural NZ I've been to had dreadfully slow 3G.

The big question is, why do I get much better internet in a the middle of nowhere in rural Portugal than I do in a big city? Go figure.

The technical term used to describe my current location is … "butt fuck nowhere"

@DeFries He said "impending" @ryancduff

@cklosowski Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of doing that before.

@gcaat Tramadol is powerful shit. So is Zoplicone. Best take the advice of Dr @NinjaLikesCheez I think.

@NinjaLikesCheez Zoplicone tastes like metal. Urgh.

@derekhalpern No problem. I've done much worse!

@derekhalpern Yes, quite. I think you may have me mixed up with someone else perhaps.

@derekhalpern I have no idea what you are talking about?

Major props to @rafaltomal from @bgardner http://www.briangardner.com/diamond-in-the-rough/

@nakrissimo Ahhhhh, that makes a lot more sense then! Please don't get scabs though. We like you just the way you are.

@nakrissimo My Norwegian lessons clearly aren't paying off, as I could swear you posted about loving scabs earlier!

@williamsba Lol, I only saw the tweet that I RT'd, not the earlier more "in yer face" one. I agree with that too though.

@williamsba That's a very thoughtful tweet.
