Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-07-05

by Matt Mecham on July 5, 2009

  • Morning all. And so begins another week. Already. Hoping to finish off and package up the subscriptions manager early this week. #
  • Seeing a lot of positive buzz about #ipb 3 over the Twitter-sphere. Good to see. A lot of interest from vBulletin users too. #
  • Subscriptions manager mostly done. Hooks written. Just need to tidy up the 'setup' files and we're good to go, I think. Well. I hope. #ipb #
  • Adding few things into #ipb subs manager. Ability to email (with opt. BCC to admin) user on payment success / fail. #
  • Ooh, I think I've just spotted something I can get for Debbie's birthday. #
  • Can't stand Plesk. It's like system admin by Fisher Price. Bugging me. Gimmie ssh instead. Even Cpanel would be nice. #
  • Up and working. Couldn't sleep. Was staring at the ceiling thinking of the things I need to do. Figured it would be easier to just do them. #
  • Gah. Customer has issues post 3 upgrade. MySQL bombing. Host disables it until 'issue is fixed'. Um. How are we supposed to do that now? #
  • Having mouse control issues. If I was playing Guitar Hero with my mouse, I'd be lucky to hit 50% of the notes. One of those days. #
  • Early starts #ftw. Replied and all my developer tickets and now I'm working through the last subs manager buts. All before 7:30am. #
  • Seeing a lot of requests for vBulletin conversion. A few ex-vB'rs have even emailed just to say how nice IP.Board 3.0.0 is. Aw, thanks! #
  • Wow. Sure is busy. Seriously. I haven't been this piled under since – well, ever. #
  • Spent 10 minutes cursing PayPal sandbox. Then remembered that it won't post back to "localhost". Doh. Time for port forwarding. #
  • Long day. More of the same tomorrow. Can't complain at being busy. #
  • Maybe I can complain just a little. @bobbyllew calls it moasting (boasting / moaning) #
  • "My dad is harder than your dad" #implausiblePlaygroundTaunts #
  • Extra strong coffee this morning. Extra strong. #
  • Decided to move upgrade/downgrade member logic into own functions. Added ability to change secondary groups rather than primary #subsManager #
  • "I can honestly report that [#ipb 3] receives positive marks from my members" – Makes one very happy indeed! #
  • Testing an installation of the subscriptions manager now. Wish me luck. #
  • And we're on the second installation already. #
  • Well. That seems OK. Now to see if it installs via the ACP. #
  • Yup. Installed via the ACP. Now is the perfect time to sneak off for some lunch then package it up for QA when I return. #
  • RT @joshdw1: We've put up a preview of all the skins submitted to the ipb3 skin contest, check em out! http://bit.ly/3ByvAl #
  • Feeling good about the day so far. SubsM beta 1 done. Helped a customer with their site and discovered a bug which was tough to find. #
  • Listening to Gomez for the first time in years. Forgotten how good they are. #
  • Feeling hot, hot, hot! http://mypict.me/6UWI #
  • Morning all. Managed to drag my weary carcass up to my desk for another day of post #ipb 3 release work. #
  • Jeff Goldblum will be missed – http://bit.ly/eqWYo (via @stephenfry, @susanpaus) #
  • Productive day so far. Subs Manager updated and QA rebuilt. Fixed bug in rebuild Sig tool. Just about to add in ACP rebuild PM / recount PM. #
  • Hmm. Discovered I had REM's "Man on the moon" on repeat. Listened to it 11 times before I realized. #
  • Twitter is no longer cool. @Microsoft joined. That killed it. (Thanks @Zef for letting me know) #
  • #ipb ACP rebuild user messenger folder/total/new counts done. Easy as pie with the messenger lib. Three lines of code or thereabouts. #
  • I wonder how many people think that @ipb works on #ipb? Probably a few more thanks to this tweet. #
  • Tired. And Debbie keeps making me laugh, bless her. She is a one, I tell you. #
  • Morning all. The sun isn't streaming in through the window yet. Looks pretty miserable out actually. #
  • Please 'envision' something. Do not 'invision' it. You are messing up my search results. #
  • Enjoying @totalfilm being corrected by @thatkevinsmith. Hugely entertaining. Please continue. #
  • #Authorize .net website down. Declining all payments. Joy joy. Hope it's back up soon. #
  • RT @jjhuff authorize.net lost their Seattle datacenter due to power outage. SJC facility can't handle load. #authorize.net #fail #
  • Authorize.net still down. Causing chaos in tickets. Might have to stop our invoice cron from running in a few hours. #authorize #
  • Added announcement in client center about #Authorize issue. Getting loads of tickets asking why cards are being declined. C'mon Authorize… #
  • Synapses incredibly excited about the caffeine I'm pouring into my body. #
  • Night all. Have a good weekend. Been a productive week. The IPS team have worked incredibly hard. Kudos to all. #
  • Lovely family day today. Lunch out, a little shopping and then a play at the park and paddling pool. Perfect summers day. #
