  1. @white_shadow I don't think it's uncommon practice to redirect 'directory' to 'directory/' (and IMO it makes sense)
  2. @beantin Don't think they will unshorten then 't.co' links, but simply t.co already short links (ie t.co/bleh pointing to bit.ly/bleh)
  3. IANA operated Apache serving example.com is badly configured: http://example.com/icons doesn't redirect to http://example.com/icons/ Boo!
  4. @ArtemR filters ftw ;)
  5. http://unhearit.com/ is both great and evil :)
  6. @ArtemR yep, 500, which might lead spammers to think something broke on *your* side and attempt again. Just sayin' :)
  7. @ArtemR you could add a 403 status code to this, maybe spammers check their logs sometimes
  8. @ArtemR what hack?
  9. @lucianop thanks Luciano :)
  10. True :) RT @williamsba: Thanks everyone for the retweets! This is going to be a great book!
  11. On planetOzh: Into Plugins? You Will Love This. #plugindevbook http://ozh.in/te
  12. @markmcwilliams I think it should come soon now. Like in... 8 minutes and 40 seconds :)
  13. So, I've heard today will be big announcement day for several people in the little WordPress world. Hold tight to your Twitter client :)
  14. Google Chat definitely misses a "I'm invisible except to this particular group of people" option
  15. ShareDaddy is pretty cool, I'm going to use it (to anyone concerned there's a trivial bug to fix http://bit.ly/bBhP0U)
  16. http://wp-p.ro/ is a new WP job board, with a reputation score. Still on the works it seems (a few pages like "Pricing" go 404)
  17. @zamoose maybe wp-endlessdebates could gather all these subjects, but that would look half serious only :)
  18. @andrea_r I wish some other folks would find it brilliant too :Þ (soooo fed up with license debates...)
  19. @anthonycole I prefer listing them all at the end of the plugin file. I find that seeing all hooks grouped helps grasp the flow of events
  20. Oh noes... Another OMGLICENSE!!1 discussion on wp-hackers... Seriously, wp-license is a much needed mailing list.
