A good/useful moan about Wordpress. Plus, Delta 9 is back. Yay! - Paul Love

"A PHP5 app that helps you follow several of Yahoo!'s Rules for High Performance Web Sites. It combines multiple CSS or Javascript files, removes unnecessary whitespace and comments, and serves them with gzip encoding and optimal client-side cache headers." Hubba, hubba. - Paul Love

"A general purpose script loader that aims to be able to effectively load any script resource(s), from any location, into any page, at any time. It loads them all as parallel as the browser will allow, but maintains execution order when you express the need to do so in the usage of the API, for keeping dependencies safe." Very pleased this has gone 1.0. - Paul Love

"A method of data transfer which uses the FTP protocol to transfer data from one remote server to another (inter-server) without routing this data through the client's connection." - Paul Love

"Bring tech-heads into creative conversations early to color communication ideas with what's possible in web development." - Paul Love

"Apple is not evil. iPhone developers are stupid. Their problems with the App Store approval process are entirely their own fault and they deserve no commiseration." Rather extreme viewpoint from PPK (with some merit, though). - Paul Love

"Human conversation is the last area of communication to hold out against the relentless march of commercialisation and it’s our duty, as humans, to make sure it stays that way. So, screw consensus. And shame on me for starting to lean towards it yesterday. Give me ad-free conversation, or give me death." - Paul Love

"The reason most often cited by technical staff for avoiding debt altogether is the challenge of communicating the existence of technical debt to business staff and the challenge of helping business staff remember the implications of the technical debt that has previously been incurred. Everyone agrees that it's a good idea to incur debt late in a release cycle, but business staff can sometimes resist accounting for the time needed to pay off the debt on the next release cycle. The main issue seems to be that, unlike financial debt, technical debt is much less visible, and so people have an easier time ignoring it." - Paul Love

James built bat boxes. Brilliant. - Paul Love

Bad title, interesting points. "I learned that introverts prefer to think before they speak, while extroverts tend to think /as/ they speak. I also learned what energizes introverts (solo activities) versus extroverts (social activities) [...] They seek out allies as trusted sounding boards and champions who can help spread the word about their quiet strengths." - Paul Love

"Sometimes I put my log in information into the register fields." "Me too! I hate that not only do I feel stupid, I have to retype everything again." - Paul Love
