Charlie India Oscar
Until a recent episode of 99% Invisible, I had no idea that You Are Listening To had a numbers station child site. But it does. And it’s pretty amazing.
I’ll go ahead and spare you from my amateur synopsis of numbers stations. Instead, load up You are listening to Numbers Stations in a new tab and spend a little quality time with the Wikipedia page in another one. Once you’ve worked through that, there’s also the resources over at The Conet Project.
Sorry in advance if this manages to make you into a crazy person.

Query Monitor
GitHub – johnbillion/query-monitor: The Developer Tools Panel for WordPressThe Developer Tools Panel for WordPress. Contribute to johnbillion/query-monitor development by creating an account on GitHub.
In order to do a few clever things, Query Monitor loads earlier than you ever thought humanly possible (almost). It does this by symlinking a custom
db.phpin yourWP_CONTENT_DIR. This file (when present) gets included before the database driver is loaded, meaning this portion of Query Monitor loads before WordPress even engages its brain.In this file is Query Monitor’s extension to the
wpdbclass which:- Allows us to log all database queries (including ones that happen before plugins are loaded)
- Logs the full stack trace for each query, which allows us to determine the component that’s responsible for the query
- Logs the query result, which allows us to display the affected rows or error message if applicable
- Logs various PHP configurations before anything has loaded, which allows us to display a message if these get altered at runtime by a plugin or theme
This is totally fucking clever and very well done considering that it’s not even using a profiler. Bravo, sir!

Sexy Beasts
While I was in Austin last week, work graced me with a new set of business cards. And they’ve got my new(ish) title! Don’t they look fucking handsome?
I’m sure that everyone I hand them to will silently curse me for their non-standard size, but maybe that’ll become less of an issue once they notice the lightly embossed WP Engine logo.
Or maybe not. But hey, whatever. New cards!

Dashboard Makeover Removes Incoming Links Widget – WP Tavern
Much like Jeffro, I’ve found Incoming Links to be practically useless for the past few years, so I’m glad they’re finally killing the widget.
