@ipstenu Did they provide a video tutorial inside the zip perhaps?

@NinjaLikesCheez @ronindotca I should also be more careful with Swype to avoid typos 😉

@NinjaLikesCheez @ronindotca I should start of Twitter more often! Problems must fix themselves 🙂

Apologies to anyone who noticed the PixoPoint RSS feed exploded today. Something went wrong during the changeover to a new domain.

Blogging at WP Realm … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2664

@XanaduHowTo I miss ginger beer. It doesn't seem to be very popular here in Norway.

@XanaduHowTo How much?

@wptavern @jjj I mentioned you both in a blog post… http://wprealm.com/blog/talkpress-is-back/

RT @DeFries: TalkPress: Is bbPress finally coming to http://WordPress.com? http://wprealm.com/blog/talkpress-is-back/

bbPress launching on http://WordPress.com? http://wprealm.com/blog/talkpress-is-back/

@TCBarrett I don't entirely understand what you just said sorry. Increase file size of what?

@Krogsgard @williamsba @scottbasgaard Pffft, we upgraded from goats! We now have stream trains 🙂

@TCBarrett Random aside: This is a multisite currently powering three sites. More sites to be added later.

@TCBarrett Isn't it supposed to be a clean looking pie graph with no fragmentation in it?

@TCBarrett I cranked my APC memory up to 256 MB, but that didn't help at all.

@TCBarrett This is apparently a problem … https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/_apc.php. Any ideas if upgrading to latest APC would help that?

@TCBarrett I never thought I'd learn how to do it myself, but I ended up sharing an office with @konstruktors who is a guru with this stuff.

@Krogsgard I use SVN, so just switched back. I slightly cringed before hitting the enter key.

@TCBarrett My bottleneck appears to be a 100 Mbps bandwidth cap as far as regular page views go.

@TCBarrett Apparently I should be using PHP-FPM instead of fastcgi, but it seems to be working just fine in it's current state.

@TCBarrett Vanilla installations. I'm too much of a n00b to risk doing too much fiddling.

@Krogsgard Did you experience any problems in doing that?

@TCBarrett It's very satisfying knowing that I can handle reasonable traffic spikes without breaking the bank.

@TCBarrett I was scared of the command line. I'd never go back though. cPanel has it's purpose but I no longer have a use for it.

@TCBarrett As nice as that would be, I suspect I will never max out my current box.

@TCBarrett In case you haven't seen it, here's a blog post outlining the jump … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/2012/09/01/blitz-lo/

@TCBarrett I upgraded to Linode, NGINX, PHP-fastCGI, APC, Batcache and Cloudfront all in one hit 🙂 Performance jump was, er, noticeable 🙂

@TCBarrett I've been running on trunk for a long time, but this is the only time I've needed to revert to fix something.

@TCBarrett I had to downgrade due to the featured image uploader breaking.

@TCBarrett Yeah. I'm hoping there hasn't been, but hard to know without following Trac closely.

@TCBarrett I switched to a VPS a few year agos too. My new box is less powerful but serves pages around 100x faster.

@nakrissimo I made do with a bowl of muesli instead.

@jordantcarter It's like Caturday, but for sitting … http://caturday.tumblr.com/

Sitting here loading my website, basking in the gloriousness of being able to load a page in less than a minute 🙂

@karmatosed I will "fix" it eventually 🙂

@Mamaduka Thanks 🙂

@hanlasse Awesome shot! Nice use of Instagram (I usually hate those stupid filters).

Has anyone out there had issues with reverting from WP trunk to stable? I just did an SVN switch and it seems to be working fine so far.

Thanks to @karmatosed for recent design assistance 🙂 https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2655 (I still haven't fixed the "green" issue though)

PixoPoint is no more … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=2655

@nakrissimo Yer making me hungry! mmm sushi 🙂

So apparently running WordPress trunk is not always a good idea. I just lost the ability to add featured images. Damn!

http://PixoPoint.com is gone. Now replaced by http://geek.RyanHellyer.net 🙂

@kimparsell Thanks 🙂 It went down for ages last night due to DNS issues, but since then Pingdom has been reporting it down most of the time

Pingdom is giving me really weird reports. Is there anyone out there who CAN'T see my personal blog? https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/

My experience of moving domains from @godaddy to @namecheap 🙁 https://random.hellyer.kiwi/files/2012/09/ryan.hellyer.kiwi-uptime.png

@DeFries OMG! How did I not know this already?

@AWDL2011 lolz. I don't feel very Norwegian.

@NinjaLikesCheez You don't need an expensive box, just a little lateral thinking 😉

@yoast That popcorn caricature makes me hungry! http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/

Ohhh, @yoast is selling plugins now … http://yoast.com/wordpress/video-seo/

@NinjaLikesCheez Once you have the box up and running, lemme know. I own a site that will be somewhat more challenging for you to take on 🙂

@daniel_immke It's not that bad. It's certainly expensive, but it's also a hell of a nice place to live, so it's worth it.

@daniel_immke Are you thinking of moving here?

@daniel_immke The place I'm sharing with @ronalfy costs ~US$2600 per month but we're in one of the most expensive parts of Oslo.

@daniel_immke Yes, you can get places for significantly cheaper than that in fact.

@daniel_immke LOL, not likely! Can you get anywhere that cheap in the USA? That's crazy cheap for six months rent.

@daniel_immke What currency and over what time frame?

@NinjaLikesCheez You failed last time 😉

Whew! I am now back online! https://ryan.hellyer.kiwi/

@zamoose @ryancduff @DeFries @indigonl I generally try to avoid scaring people with my face!

Thanks @ryancduff @DeFries @indigonl 🙂 Why is my avatar so interesting?

By popular demand (well, @DeFries), I have changed my Twitter avatar to something more "Ryan'ish". Back to sorting my infernal domain …

@DeFries All in good time! But yeah, that will happen eventually.

@DeFries Yes.

@DeFries It's a bit like the chicken and the egg. If there was no chicken, how could there be an egg?

w00p w00p , I'll be back online soon :)… " This domain will be added to your account within several minutes."

Dangnabbit! Ma domain is down 🙁 Transfer from Godaddy -> Namecheap is not going well 🙁

Ohhh, look who published an article about plugin options! http://wprealm.com/blog/avoid-plugin-options-hell/

@fevered Glad to hear. If I'm feeling confident then maybe I'll move some more before the other has completed.

@matthancocknz I want to make sure I've done it right first. I'm worried about doing something wrong.

@matthancocknz That sucks. I was hoping to do one, then another later tonight. I guess I'll have to leave the other for another week.

@sillygrampy @SiobhanPMcKeown The @namecheap UI is most definitely better than the GoDaddy UI. I have no idea about Gandi.

@matthancocknz I had the EPP ready, so hopefully it'll go smoothly.

@MotleyWP Looks like spam to me. I also don't have a use for shared hosting.

@SiobhanPMcKeown I've had a great experience with @namecheap so far.

@SiobhanPMcKeown I posted a question ages back here on Twitter and 90% of people told me to use @namecheap instead of @godaddy.

@crienexzy I have a Galaxy S3 which has 1.9 MP apparently. It's the quality of those pixels that matters to me though.

Transferring a domain for the first time ever. Fingers crossed this works so my GoDaddy days are behind me!

@crienexzy 640×480 I think

@DeFries That's coz some of us were born with tastebuds

To those bickering over whose imaginary friend is real. You all lose. The Tooth fairy has it.

New article by @SiobhanPMcKeown about high performance WordPress … http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/09/12/secrets-high-traffic-wordpress-blogs/

@Rarst file_get_contents() to external URLs on every page load.

@markoheijnen In case you hadn't realised. That is not my plugin. That's someone elses plugin I was asked to use yesterday.

@markoheijnen The ability to over-ride for ALL widgets would be nice. I normally do that by hard coding into theme.

@markoheijnen Built into core? That would make a lot of sense I think. Cover up for shonky dev. behaviour.

@markoheijnen You read my mind 🙂 I was just bumping it up to 30 mins when you tweeted that.

@markoheijnen I dragged the widget into the sidebar of a site yesterday and the whole server crashed!

Lolz. Site takes 5 seconds to load a widget. I sped it up to 0.002 seconds 🙂 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-blogroll-widget-with-rss-feeds-performance-boost

@WordSkill Will @kevinjohng or I see you at another WordCamp this year?

@kevinjohng Will you be at any other WordCamp's in Europe this year? If not, then you will have to come to WordCamp Oslo 2013 🙂

@kevinjohng Nope. I'll be at WordCamp Lisbon and WordCamp Stockholm though.

@nakrissimo Google is failing me. All I'm finding is LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA LLAMA!!! No orange rakes to be found 🙁

@kevinjohng I live further north than you, and I aint in the Arctic circle 😉

@dougal Strange. I've never experienced that. I use @markjaquith 's APC plugin and Batcache. Upgrades always seem to go smoothly.

@dougal Is it when you do the DB update that the loops happen? Or is it from using the auto-update tool?

@nakrissimo Nope. Googling …
