Twitter Weekly Updates For 2009-03-23

  • Family Guy really isn’t as funny as it used to be… :/ #
  • New version of SyntaxHighlighter ( http://is.gd/eRqG ) is coming along nicely. It’ll require WordPress 2.8 though. #
  • The cake is a lie: http://tinyurl.com/cugrh4 #
  • I still don’t get the appeal of SXSW. Sounds like too many people. — In other news, I need to stop going to bed at 8:30am. FAIL! Again! #
  • SyntaxHighlighter 2.0 plugin is coming along nicely. Can’t wait to use it on my blog. #
  • is hating TinyMCE. Plugin works properly with HTML editor, but TinyMCE is HTML encoding shortcode contents. Ugh. #
  • Oh damn, @eddieizzard is on Twitter. *immediately starts following* #
  • I watch “House” these days more for Olivia Wilde than for the story. Nothing wrong with the show, it’s just she’s so damn hot. #
  • Anyone know of an etiquette guide for naming forked software? Trying to cite/reference a source to someone who’s forked one of my WP plugins #
  • I must admit, no one is better at making crazy big weaponry than the Russians. Case in point, a hovercraft: http://englishrussia.com/?p=1908 #
  • DNS nameservers are down for weblogtoolscollection.com apparently. #
  • The the past 2 hours reading through hundreds of WordPress tickets. Cleaned up or closed over 30 of them. I’m tired. #
  • Erm, my last tweet should have read “Spent the past…”. I gotta learn to glance at my tweets before submitting. #
  • Came up with clever solution for posting code in WordPress: do the encoding/decoding at the editor rather than on display. Store it encoded. #
  • By storing the code HTML entity encoded, you don’t have to deal with kses. Saves a TON of trouble and only adds minor coding difficulties. #
  • James May of Top Gear is currently the 5th most popular subject on Twitter thanks to @stephenfry: http://is.gd/nQsn #
  • TinyMCE is making my life a living hell right now. Guess it’s time to sleep on it and see what solutions I can come up with. #
  • LOST was quite good tonight. Glad they’re actually making story progression, although these new questions they’re adding aren’t helpful, heh #
  • It’s nearly 7AM already? Shit. #
  • 1TB WD SATAHD for $90 on Newegg w/ free shipping: http://is.gd/ogjl #
  • Having the fastest PC in the house sucks. Currently rendering my sister’s Maya project for her college portfolio. ETA: a bajillion hours. #
  • 199,859 downloads of my Video Quicktags plugin. Many cookies to the person who gets a real screenshot of 200k! http://is.gd/j9Cd #
  • New favorite word (that I just accidentally thought up): failarious. Yes, I wasn’t the first to think of it, but still. 😛 #
  • Video Quicktags hit 200k downloads overnight! http://is.gd/omSD Major thanks to @Mango_Juice for the screenshot! 😀 #
