RT @WPRealm: From WP Startup to Hiring Your First Employee http://wprealm.com/blog/from-wp-startup-to-hiring-your-first-employee/

Yay! I received a random out of the blue email thanking me for the help I've given the WP community Small gestures mean a lot it seems.

@jarledb I think there's a limit to how many accounts you get for free. Plus requires routing it all through gMail. We just need forwarders.

I've made my recent medical investigation public for anyone who may be interested … http://www.facebook.com/ryanhellyer/posts/10151253931936789

@konstruktors I use a native application on my phablet anyway, so not to worried about that.

@konstruktors Ahhhhhh! I thought you were talking about Facebook performing medical stuff. I confused easily.

I'm thinking I should stop evangelising Facebook this evening. I don't even like that damned company! In fact, they're kinda evil.

I was too sick to do much, so I'd have just lied there feeling sorry for myself and maybe died if it wasn't for Facebook. @jmuenster

Posted symptoms on Facebook once & my friend Rachel picked me up 5 min later. Almost ended up sliced open for appendectomy then. @jmuenster

TweetDeck just updated. Everything looks bigger and fatter, yet cleaner at the same time.

Thank the almighty gods for Facebook. Without it would have no reliable source of medical advice.

I'm getting really really sick of dealing with email hosting this week. I know nothing about it and want to wash my hands of it!

I need a hosted mail system which will let me forward emails to other addresses. Any ideas on a cheap solution for that?

1x highly productive day at work completed It feels great to accomplish a lot in a short space of time.

Google Multi-fac Auth is way easier than it was. I haven't had ANY problems!!! The WordPress plugin is much better too http://bit.ly/gmultifac

Damn I'm efficient! I had a freakin' massive TODO list two days ago. Now, that list is almost totally demolished

@pearsonified Have people been using Feedburner because they thought it was the "safe route"? If so, they must be very stupid people.

@pearsonified I've been saying that for years. People should have realised the risks when they decided to use a hosted feed service.

@adampickering_ I was disappointed with CloudFront too until I used @blitz_io on it and found my load times plummeted.

@adampickering_ Have you tried ramping up the traffic and then testing the speeds? Amazon CloudFront seems to go faster with more traffic.

@Krogsgard I solved it by making the child theme the parent theme. Functionality was a bit hard to move into a plugin.

@perricollins I pitched a blog post to @wprealm about it, so you may find I've written a blog post on the topic in the next few weeks

@bluelimemedia I am 100% convinced that responsive is perfect sometimes and that custom themes are perfect other times. Depends on situation

@bluelimemedia Ahhh, I see. Excellent idea. I should definitely write something about that.

@williamsba @ryancduff I don't consider that a grandchild theme, that's just a different CSS file. I need to make actual template changes.

I figured out how to force mobile devices to load specific child themes without bugginess … http://pastebin.com/vtxKxbTG @phenomenoodle

Has anyone out there tried to use a child theme for a mobile version of their site? I'm trying, but failing.

@phenomenoodle That code is not working properly with a child theme add_filter('template', 'change_theme');

@Tarendai Instead of a build case, I'll probably stick with smacking the developer on the back of the head next time I see them.

@Tarendai @BoweFrankema I removed "template" in the style.css file. Theme still works just fine So much for "Twenty Eleven" child

@Tarendai I may just un-child theme the child theme. It has almost ALL of it's own template files anyway. It's a stupid child theme.

@BoweFrankema I think I'll just need to work around this issue, perhaps by jamming everything in the regular child theme.

@Tarendai I haven't made a mistake, the person who made the thing I need to child theme made a mistake by also making it a child theme

It seems that grandchild themes do work, but they're not supported by core and buggy. Thanks to @BoweFrankema @ryancduff @Tarendai for input

@ryancduff Some muppet set me up with a child theme of Twenty Eleven which I now want to make a mobile child theme for.

@no_fear_inc I don't think I'll be giving birth to a child of a child any time soon.

@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.

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/

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 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 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.

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

@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.

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 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.

@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.

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