@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.

RT @ryancduff: How about GoDaddy duplicates their shitty checkout procedure w/ unwanted upsells so nobody else can duplicate it. That’d …

@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.

RT @cklosowski: Is your WordPress plugin getting support forum topics that are feature requests? Mark it as 'Not a Support Question' in …

@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.

RT @williamsba: Choose a theme that actually supports the WP Community that you love. Genesis, iThemes Builder, Headway to name a few

Whew! I'm back online 2 - 3 kbps on WiFi was killing me. I now have a Portuguese 3G sim card

RT @WPRealm: Vaporware no more; Thesis 2 to be released October 1st. http://wprealm.com/blog/vaporware-no-more-thesis-2-to-be-released-october-1st/

@bluelimemedia @EricMann I might be meaning water closet!

@EricMann I assume I'll be one of the organisers, and I'm definitely serious about inviting you!

@gcaat If you "think you know", then don't get it (yet). That's the sort of shit you should be absolutely certain of before doing

@Krogsgard I'm not impressed by the screenshots.

@markoheijnen @SiobhanPMcKeown It's definitely happening. I just need to get someone to nail down a date.

@SiobhanPMcKeown I would like to know that myself. I need to get someone to pin down a date for that. It should be some time in Jan or Feb.

@Rarst What IDE do you use? I use Komodo. I tried Netbeans but it's speed annoyed me so I moved back to Komodo.

@Rarst That looks rather sofistimicated

@Rarst @CoenJacobs @Krogsgard Sometimes it doesn't make any difference if you have no idea what the filter is called.

@EricMann You should come to WordCamp Oslo

@EricMann Romania was probably the most interesting. UK had the most talent. Norway was the most organised and NZ the most eclectic.

@EricMann It's fascinating seeing how diff. countries handle WC. I've been to WC's in NZ, Norway, UK and Romania. Portugal up next

@Krogsgard add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'jpeg_quality' ); function jpeg_quality() { return 100; }

@Krogsgard Use the ImageMagik plugin.

@MrJChrist lolz

@SiobhanPMcKeown @markoheijnen @noeltock Looks like we're all booked into the same place now

@markoheijnen You should book into that hotel. I'm doing it right now.

@markoheijnen I know very little about it other than that it confused me.

@markoheijnen @dimensionmedia I screamed and ran away crying when I tried to touch that thing, so those improvements sound great

@markoheijnen I need a hotel too. @SiobhanPMcKeown, where are you staying again? We should all book into the same place

@markoheijnen BTW are you coming to Lisbon? (I've probably already asked, but I'm forgetful)

@markoheijnen @dimensionmedia Changed, but it'll presumably still be there I'm guessing.

@dimensionmedia I'm pretty sure you can rotate them with the built in image editor.

@dimensionmedia Er, isn't there one built into core?

@dimensionmedia @helenhousandi I'm guessing it's doing it because it was taken in potrait mode rather than landscape.

@dimensionmedia Yeah, that's what I'd guess. Lots of desktop apps do that. It's not uncommon.

@dimensionmedia I think you will find it's the opposite, your desktop photo viewing app will be rotating it.

Hmmm, my internet connection here in Portugal is 120 kbps. This reminds me a lot of New Zealand.

@andrea_r If you start running, you will get the "OMFG! Lady, you are incredible!" comments after six months or so.

@andrea_r I have the short slightly over-weight body type for it.

@andrea_r @bgardner It's very satisfying so long as your body can hold up to the punishment

@andrea_r @bgardner You should definitely take up running! I've been doing it for a while now, but keep injuring my achilles.

@markoheijnen Yeah.

I am now in Portugal It sure is hot here!

SOB! Flying to Portugal and forgot my camera. Lots of phone snaps I guess then!

@bronsonquick did you just say you ran 5 km in 5 mins?

@zedejose I'm on a working holiday this week. Still 9 - 5, just from Portugal.

@zedejose Faro today. Haven't decided when I'll come to Lisbon yet.

@mjepson Congratulations

@DeFries When are you arriving in Portugal?

@Rarst @DeFries I'm taking a wild guess that public urination is not acceptable in the Ukraine?

@humphreybc Scary Need to catch him and beat him bloody.

@DeFries Ya'll are nutz!

@DeFries There is a time and a place for peeing in public. The middle of a city during the middle of the day … not so much.

@miss_jwo Yep, WordCamp Lisboa this time I'm spending the week in Faro and heading to Lisbon on Thursday or Friday'ish.

@scottbasgaard When do you arrive? And are you flying into Lisbon or Faro?

I'm in transit to Portugal

@DeFries What was that in response to? I'm confused.

Some fascinating stats and bits of info. in this post RT @danielbachhuber: Choosing NGINX for growth http://www.nginx.com/cs/nginx-automattic.html

@crienexzy Next up … "Nye iPhone"

@fevered Yay! Me too

@TCBarrett No. Apparently it doesn't make a big difference, so I'll just ignore it for the time being

@TCBarrett Hackers/DDOS type people. Not exactly their 10 most wanted, but enough to catch their attention.

@rachelbaker Your Github link isn't working … http://rbak.es/OM4VSy

I'm thinking I should stop associating with shady people online. I'm probably red-flagged on some FBI watch-list right now.

@trepmal Batcache is awesome! nananananana, BATCACHE!

@PauldeWouters Is that legal there? In New Zealand you would get in a lot of trouble with the police for that.

@PauldeWouters Um, haven't figured that out yet. Norwegians are a little crazy sometimes it seems.

Is public urination acceptable in other parts of the world? http://ryanhellyer.net/2012/09/22/public-urination-in-norway/ I was mildly grossed out today.

@jitsnz New server operational. Set http://dunedinicehockey.co.nz to 50.116.54.208 in your hosts file to see it before Prosouth make the DNS changes.

@th3j35t3r re: private convo earlier … I had my wires crossed. It was a performance issue, not a security issue I found.

@jitsnz Someone tracked down the problem for me. I'll have it fixed tomorrow, assuming I can get the DNS switched that soon.

@jitsnz You will lose email service for 24 hours probably.

@jitsnz DNS is dropping off all over the world. I'll contact Prosouth this evening and arrange switch to new server.

@jitsnz None. That's why the site has been moved. I'll do some asking around.

@jitsnz I'm at work at the moment now so can't do much until later on (probably tomorrow morning)

@jitsnz I'm thinking if we can move the site to the new server now, perhaps whatever weird problem you are experiencing will disappear.
