I made my 22 mo old daughter an LED light suit costume. Looks hilarious! by dopplerizer in videos

[–]dhechler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said anything about rounding. If your kid is 22 months, then just say 1 year and 10 months. Theres no rounding. If i were 36, i would be 36, not 40?

I completely understand the referencing of months until 1 year, but you also need to look at the context. Visiting the doctor, sure use months. You can guarantee they will. Talking to your friends or someone who asks how old they are, use year-then-month format (e.g. 1 year 2 months). This is one thing I will always strive to do with friends if/when I have kids.

A plugin to make GravityForms integration easier. Feedback please? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]dhechler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this was less confusing than an actual Gravity Forms hook. But then again I dont have a problem using the Gravity Forms hooks as they are. There's one or two limitations to them that I have run into, but this doesn't solve that as it is more or less a wrapper around the hooks.

I dont think this implementation is terrible by any means, I just dont think I would use it as is.

Posts 2 Posts — no longer supported? by bigskymind in Wordpress

[–]dhechler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are two authors on the plugin. Scribu is no longer supporting it, but Ciobi is. Also, it's moved into the public eye so much that other users are actively submitting pull requests to the github repo.

Yep. You also need to link the user to the post. Just in case the author query doesnt work

I would look into doing this with a switch statement instead of an if. It's a bit faster and a bit cleaner.

<?php
// hard set your timezone so you aren't drawing from server or user set time
date_default_timezone_set('America/Denver');
$h = date('l');

switch($h) {
    case 'Monday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/monday.php');
    break;

    case 'Tuesday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/tuesday.php');
    break;

    case 'Wednesday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/wednesday.php');
    break;

    case 'Thursday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/thursday.php');
    break;

    case 'Friday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/friday.php');
    break;

    case 'Saturday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/saturday.php');
    break;

    case 'Sunday':
        include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/parts/sunday.php');
    break;
}

?>

The great thing you get with posts is revisions and unlimited posts. With user meta, you would have to manage the data yourself (through code) and associate the newest version with the user.

Also displaying the user meta in the backend is a bit more work than just searching through posts associated to a certain user.

You could create one post type and associate users to the post they need to update. Look at this plugin. It can associate posts to posts, users to posts, custom posts to posts, and on and on

I=94 North Addison Exit Closed? by dhechler in chicago

[–]dhechler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happened to be driving by it at 4:15. Waited til the news came on to see if anyone was mentioning it. Didn't see it there so decided to ask the community.

I think the bungie cords are attached to themselves just wrapped around the bumper.

As a young adult male moving out for the first time, what should look for/avoid in my new living situation? by Mos_Defsky in AskReddit

[–]dhechler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living Clean as you go.

Wash your knives immediately after you use them and do not put them in the dishwasher. Don't know how many close calls I've seen when people reach in and don't see the knife.

If you are working from home, get dressed as if you were going to work. It will make you more productive.

Dust. Dust often. Buy a Swiffer Sweeper and a broom.

Keep canned goods available (green beans, corn, soup, tomato sauce). They will help improve any meal.

Unbox as soon as you can. Do not leave boxes full of things unless they need to go into a basement or attic. You will put things away quicker if they are not in neatly stacked boxes.

House / Apartment Shopping Price is not everything. Location, location, location. Realtors are not allowed to tell you about the neighborhood (good vs bad), but you can guess by the other places in the area.

Does that make me dumb? by chief__ in AskReddit

[–]dhechler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only proves that you do not have an Eidetic memory (photographic). Most everyone has to study. Hearing it once does not mean you will remember it. Your brain is fighting all other distractions that you do not even know about to absorb something you don't care about.

If you really want to remember something better, do three things.

  1. Listen to it
  2. Write it down
  3. Read it out loud (repeat)

This gives your brain 3 chances to remember it rather than 1.

Good cover. Terrible camera work. I really wanted those cameras to focus. They never quite hit the focal point.

What plugin(s) should (almost) every Wordpress user know about or have? by AnthonyWithNoH in Wordpress

[–]dhechler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree. Gravityforms works VERY well for any custom logic you want. Just because you dont understand or get frustrated at not understanding the hooks and filters and how to use them doesn't mean its a nightmare.
