Ordered three boxes of cat litter from Amazon. First two were 24” monitors instead. Sent a message to Amazon and they sent two more with apologies. One has arrived... and it’s another monitor. Will the other two yet to be delivered boxes also be monitors? Time will tell...

@lesley_pizza Would be great to check out the plugin and add support for it in Event Calendar Newsletter! I sent a DM with some other thoughts/notes.

Hi everyone! EventKoi is finally ready to be test driven! 🏎️ If you'd like to give it a whirl, please let me know and I'll DM you the plugin and some additional details. Please note that this is an early version of the free plugin. Thank you! 🙏

@andrewculver Flight to last year's Laracon in Nashville, where the pilot came on and said "we're going to try and cut around some storms and uhh, we'll see how it goes" (the last thing they said before we landed)

What was the scariest flight you’ve ever been on?

@tessak22 @chrislema It was a little unstable at first but has actually been quite solid for the last couple years. We do have completely unobstructed views of the sky which probably helps, and in one of the early pilot areas with (I assume) good coverage.

@brianhogg @chrislema We did get Starlink but it’s not delivering stability unfortunately. Maybe we need to adjust stuff. Our local internet is reliable, just slow. 😔

I have fiber now!

@chrislema I’m going to follow up on the fibre that was supposed to be installed already! What do you even do to push those speeds?

@tessak22 @chrislema Better than the 6mb download we had when we first moved out here, luckily Starlink is tiding us over before fibre gets put in eventually!

@chrislema So jealous. I have 25mb download speed internet. No joke.

@aarondfrancis @adamwathan Also went to SF for Stripe Sessions in April and other than one person screaming at the sky during an early morning run down to the bayfront, all good. We did stay fairly close to the hotel and venue, though. Enjoy the trip and weather!

@adamwathan Things on Twitter are exaggerated? Hmm that doesn't seem right! Super pumped for the gorgeous weather tbh

Headed to San Francisco! Hope I don't get stabbed! Haha jkjkjk (but really)

@levelsio “Traps are for show, not go.” If I lift heavy things multiple times I’ll need to carry that weight around when I run :)

Also no running isn't heavy exercise, it's nice but not enough Gotta PICK UP a heavy thing and lift it multiple times Fight sports is very heavy too so does about the same (look how ripped MMA fighters are) You can not get away with just cardio in 2024 bois and girls

We know what heavy physical exercise did to Zuck and Meta Meta is up 81% over last 12 months Google by just 29% in same time, barely outperforming the S&P500 itself Heavy exercise saves lives and companies And no walking on a treadmill isn't heavy exercise

@KatieKeithBarn2 Was really bad in Málaga a couple years back! Luckily we didn't have a car to worry about washing afterwards though :)

How to traumatize your husband - wait for a particularly extreme case of 'Calima', which is when orange sand from the Sahara desert gets carried by the wind and falls as rain, and then show him the car 😂 Every car in Mallorca is now brown.

I'm hosting a free online workshop, "The Art of Web Defense," this Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. This is _wholly_ focused on practical security considerations and is built around the real-world attacks that I've helped stop. Please signup: crowdcast.io/c/pwsw

@chrisgarrett @lifterlms @AWeber I don't get much hassle at all (basically none) from the 20k users of the one free plugin, and most of the hassle has actually been good ideas for improvement. Requests can always be ignored but understood that it could be frustrating/demotivating!

I have written a plugin to integrate my @lifterlms implementation with @AWeber and I am tempted to share it, but I am also concious about how much hassle free WP plugin developers these days get from people demanding support/features. Really didn't used to be this way!

@JustinFerriman I used to not send reminders but started after interviewing someone at ChurnBuster who said they did. They then stopped sending reminders lol. I think it's still the way to go. I did get a few angry customers before and if they're still using the plugin I don't think it's issue.

@tejones @KatieKeithBarn2 Exactly, I thought the same thing but there is an individual plan by clicking "Apply Now" #membership" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">poststatus.com/#membership

@KatieKeithBarn2 according to someone else, there is an individual free plan that includes the email newsletter and a few things. so i may be off a bit

I somehow only just discovered that Post Status membership is going up to $1,000/yr. I find it quite useful for the job listings and Slack, but definitely wouldn’t pay that much as I don’t get that amount of value out of it. Would you renew at that level?

@KatieKeithBarn2 I just say that I sell a couple products online, then say it's a digital product so I don't need to worry about shipping etc, then get more specific about it if they ask (ie. an add-on for websites to help promote their events, or "have you heard of WP?")

WP product owners - how do you describe what you do to friends/family who don't know about WordPress? I say I run a software company and if they ask more, then I say we build apps which people use to add features to their websites. Do you have a better explanation?

@KatieKeithBarn2 @BobWP Speaking of, I noticed wpproducttalk.com shows an invalid SSL certificate and as being offline for the last few days, forgot to let you know! Also didn't realize you lived in Mallorca, my wife and I are in Málaga ~2 months each year :)

@BobWP No one in my family ever understands when I say I'm doing a podcast 😅

@Jopzik @wesbos Ah, bueno es saberlo! I was more confused because I didn't expect to see Spanish in a tweet from Wes all of a sudden lol.

@brianhogg @wesbos hahaha “plebes” is kind of "folks", but it's used in North Mexico, Mainly in Sinaloa 🇲🇽🦐 “Plebe” is the singular way and you can use “Plebada” as a synonymous of “Plebes”. Example: “Hey, plebada programadadora” - “Hey, programmer plebada”

Plebes programadores 😆

@JustinFerriman @innerwebs @GiveWP Looks like it's not there on mine, they probably realized it was a mess :) Unless I can specify to load The Events Calendar alongside it, or a Woo extension can specify WooCommerce needs to be there, how can it ever work?

@photomatt @dancameron Fyi, Sprout Invoices has a pro version which you can’t necessarily track installations for. And even if it only had 2k installations, that’s 2k people benefiting from it. 2k people is about the number of people who typically attend WCUS. If that’s low, should they not bother?

@JustinFerriman Español también, golf, running, and occasionally guitar :)

@JustinFerriman I've only encountered this a couple times with spanish so far, vs. almost daily with french (even though I'd been speaking french since I was little). Appreciate the story and reminder to not give up especially when things are finally starting to click a bit :)
