At @npr for the combined Hacks and Hackers and DC WordPress meetup. #
Get better search by writing content that people actually want to read #wordpress cc/ @bgardner #

Argo uses Custom taxonomies and custom menus for the featured posts and "Don't Miss" navigation #wordpress #hhdc #
They also built there own Custom Walkers #hhdc cc/ @nacin #
@bgardner I didn't want this to be a throwdown, I just find to much emphasis is placed on 'magic tools', when in actuality content is king. in reply to bgardner #
@bgardner As long as they are use a theme (like genesis 🙂 ) that puts content in the proper order, there doesn't need to be optimization. in reply to bgardner #
Waiting for Jobs to say that they won't let users install apps that Apple hasn't approved of in Lion. #apple #

Besides protovis, does anyone know of a javascript based charting library that also builds Maps / Geo-charts? #dataviz #lazytweet #
@kingkool68 I've looked at it, but it means either using flash or having completely static charts w/o useful tooltips in reply to kingkool68 #
I should have been more specific. I'm looking for Flash Free output cc/ @ozh @kingkool68 #

My first post on the @AddThis blog is up and it's about speaking at #wcnyc http://www.addthis.com/blog/2010/10/13/addthis-at-wordcamp-nyc/ #
@mjangda I work at @clearspring as a member of the @addthis team. It's great. in reply to mjangda #
@Jennison Thanks. I really enjoyed it and hope to start making it out for the monthly meetups next month. in reply to Jennison #
@marcymarcy Prepaid hours were based on having a large backlog and doing sprints. Not maintenance cc: @andrea_r in reply to marcymarcy #
@marcymarcy Operations and development were kept completely separate. in reply to marcymarcy #
It looks like @nacin and @darylkoop are speaking at the same time at #wcnyc #sadpanda #
As will I RT @sivel: @nacin @darylkoop and myself will be around to help you hack RT @janeforshort: Hacker Room #wcnyc http://bit.ly/cSO7VW #
@ryancduff According to @nacin, it's all taken care of. #PutThePandaAway cc: @darylkoop #

@Amandablum That's true. And you've been at all my favorite WordCamps this year too. in reply to Amandablum #
@Amandablum Be careful or you're going to become known as the wordcamp slut in reply to Amandablum #

about to go through the holland tunnel. Welcome to New York. #wcnyc #
I spoke to soon. all i see are red lights ahead. #
Now i am in the tunnel. And i have reception too. #
@gegere Yes. Speaking on Documentation in reply to gegere #
I'm not the asshole for a change RT @nacin: OH: "I don't think we've met." / "We have." / "Well then, I'm an asshole." #wcnyc #
Had a fun time with @jjj @nacin @sivel @darylkoop and others tonight. Now it's time to work on my slides for #wcnyc #
@petemall Lets be honest. #blamenacin #
@calinative Sleep is overrated. Especially since @janeforshort said there will be coffee in the morning. #wcnyc in reply to calinative #
@janeforshort gotcha. I think you know who I'll blame anyways if it's not there. in reply to janeforshort #
I can't #blamenacin yet. I need my slides spell / grammar checked first. Ping @nacin cc/ @johnjamesjacoby @janeforshort #
Completely ran through my 5 minute lighting speech for the first time. It took 10:42. Time to start chopping. #wcnyc #
@nacin Got it down to 5:30 and have time to cut it that last bit, so you can leave the hook at the Apollo Sandman. in reply to nacin #
Eating then heading to #wcnyc I'm in the red bow tie and a grey w/purple sweater vest. Come say hi when you see me 🙂 #
Slides from my lightening speech are available at http://aaron.jorb.in/slides/wcnyc.short.php #wcnyc #
@shaynesanderson Welcome. Took you long enough 🙂 in reply to shaynesanderson #
I completely disagree with this speaker. If you are learning to develop themes, Child Themes are the easiest route by far #wcnyc #
@amandafrench Absolutely! You learn more by reading good code then trying to write it yourself. Good devs borrow, Great devs steal #wcnyc in reply to amandafrench #
@kchrist Just because you call yourself a dev doesn't mean you know what you are doing. Child themes allow you to make fewer mistakes #
@CircleReader Like @nacin, I began dev'ing before child themes existed. Now I can't imagine dev'ing 99% of sites any other way #wcnyc in reply to CircleReader #
@kchrist I disagree on that regard. Contributing to one of the community developed themes such as thematic should be the next step. DRY in reply to kchrist #
@kchrist Make the OSS do what you need it do. Contribute, don't compete. If you're building from scratch, you're wasting client $$$ in reply to kchrist #
@CircleReader It's not just about learning, but about doing it the right way. Is learning how to do it wrong ever the right way? cc @nacin in reply to CircleReader #
@kchrist In the long run? I seriously doubt it. in reply to kchrist #
I really hope @saracannon talks about how great Comic Sans is! #wcnyc #
@kchrist Then it completely makes sense to use child themes. It means you never have to write new php/html and only need to write the css. in reply to kchrist #
Snuck my head into @iamjohnford talking about Security. I think I'm going to go see @saracannon for a moment next. #
I hope my presentation helped with understanding PHPDoc and PHPXref. Slides are at: http://aaron.jorb.in/slides/wcnyc.long.php #
I hope my presentation helped you learn about PHPdoc and PHPXref. Slides at http://aaron.jorb.in/slides/wcnyc.long.php #wcnyc #
The Source. Read the Source Luke: http://www.pathf.com/blogs/2008/12/read-the-source-luke-a-readers-guide-to-the-rails-source/ #wcnyc #
Want a @clearspring sticker? Come find me. I'm in a red bow tie. #wcnyc #
I'm excited to learn some magic, I mean javascript, from @darylkoop #wcnyc #
List of Default Scripts that WordPress ships with: http://jorb.in/14 #wcnyc #
from @darylkoop: In Javascript you can use (function(){ do_something})(); to have a function run on it's own. #wcnyc #
@nacin Damn Straight. I LOVE me some Comic Sans. I'm also anti helvetica. #wcnyc /cc @saracannon in reply to nacin #
+1 Patches Welcome! RT @janeforshort: Stop the gossip. Write a patch. #wcnyc #
Documentation Slides and additional resources: http://aaron.jorb.in/blog/2010/10/documentation-my-wordcamp-nyc-2010-presentation/ #wcnyc #
@shaynesanderson Safe travels. As always it was great to see you. See you in 2011 and have fun at #wclv #wcnyc in reply to shaynesanderson #
@nacin I think the bikeshed should be Red cc/@amandamccormick #wcnyc in reply to nacin #
@nacin Perhaps we should just have an option for the bikeshed color? cc/ @janeforshort @jeremyclarke in reply to nacin #
@viviane212 Tomorrows unconference will be a great example of the audience sharing information. #wcnyc in reply to viviane212 #
Fun night at the #wcnyc after party and speakers dinner with @iamjohnford, @nacin, @saracannon, @darylkoop, @janeforshort, and many others. #
Hanging out at the Genius Bar with @designsimply, @iamjohnford, @bazza and others. Do you have a question or problem? Come ask! #wcnyc #
@shaynesanderson You're contributing to giving someone a better WordPress experience. That always counts! in reply to shaynesanderson #
Great Backpress chat before. http://backpress.org/ has the info to get you using it. #wcnyc #
Hacking on wp_quickpress_form. #
@RickWolff I disagree. It still only takes 5 minutes to go from nothing to creating content. in reply to RickWolff #
@RickWolff If you want any software to bend to your whim it's going to take time or money in reply to RickWolff #
After such a great #wcnyc the only thing I can say is #thanksJane and #thanksSteve #
@ozh I #blamenacin for any sort of lack of success that #thanksjane has in reply to ozh #
No wifi on the bus. That puts a damper on some of my plans. #

@marcymarcy People are People are People are People. Medical care is Medical care is Medical Care is Medical care. in reply to marcymarcy #
@marcymarcy So you want the government deciding what medical procedures people receive? in reply to marcymarcy #
@marcymarcy So poor people who make bad decisions should be fucked based on what the government decides? is that your argument? in reply to marcymarcy #
@JohnPBloch I think denying it period, no matter the cause is wrong. in reply to JohnPBloch #
@marcymarcy Drugs aren't bad. Abusing drugs is bad. I agree on the need for sane sex education. in reply to marcymarcy #
@marcymarcy that's the banks fault for lending the money and they are the ones that pay for it. Needing medical care isn't someones fault in reply to marcymarcy #
@SandyS1 I'd prefer that care be defined as what is decided between a doctor (or doctors) and a patient. in reply to SandyS1 #
@JohnPBloch And that is an inefficiency of the market that needs to be corrected. No single system is perfect. in reply to JohnPBloch #
@JohnPBloch I agree with you on that one. TARP was a horrible idea. in reply to JohnPBloch #
@JohnPBloch I agree. We need to eliminate the "Just say NO!" club that doesn't want to try and innovate. in reply to JohnPBloch #
@SandyS1 If that's what her doctors and she decided, I would love for my tax dollars wasted on wars and helicopters to go for that instead. in reply to SandyS1 #
@JohnPBloch We should continue this conversation with barley and hops. in reply to JohnPBloch #
@SandyS1 I prefer butter to guns in reply to SandyS1 #
Off to Rustico for Happy Hour with my now former Co-workers. It's been fun. #

I'm going to build a child theme at #wcpdx during my speech. Should it be twenty ten or thematic based? Something else? #
@shaynesanderson That's my initial thought as well. Thematic would allow for some cooler stuff though, which is why I'm torn. in reply to shaynesanderson #
@markmcwilliams Genesis is good, but I'd like to keep it to free as in beer options to encourage experimentation. in reply to markmcwilliams #
@devinsays haha. I already have code that makes thematic look like twenty ten, so it wouldn't be that hard to confuse people… in reply to devinsays #
@rzen Thanks, but I'm hoping to keep it free as in beer for all the participants to experiment later. Unless you want to donate 200 copies? in reply to rzen #

Not enough. I suck as a client. RT @chexee: @aaronjorbin how much do you charge yourself? #wcpdx #
RT @JohnMetta: @aaronjorbin turns child themes from something I'll get around to into #omgwhyamInotdoingthis rightnow #

@meeshiefeet You'll be a happier developer. At least that's what I hope. in reply to meeshiefeet #
@andrewspittle you're wrong in reply to andrewspittle #
@nacin I'm pretty sure that the conjunction of you and are is "you're" which shows that "you are wrong" was the intended remark, since he is in reply to nacin #

@xentek While happiness level can be directly influenced by bacon, lack of Bacon does not make one unhappy. in reply to xentek #
OH NO! Due to the last tweet by @xentek, I realized that it has been over a month since I had Bacon. Must Solve this soon. #

@xentek @JohnJamesJacoby @nacin As glad as I am to find random sites that support gravatar, I'm happier when they support OpenID. #
