Automattic 5k in Victorville, CA

Michelle and I did our 5+k a day or two early, and all we got were these geocaches.

To complete the 30 YEARS OF PACMAN and The Smiley Series geocaching “geoart” series, we:

• Walked 14 miles in the desert,
• Found 57 geocaches,
• Suffered 95°F heat, and
• Drank one metric ton of water.

Automattic 5k in Pasadena, CA

Michelle and I walked our part of Automattic’s Worldwide WP 5k this afternoon.

Interestingly, despite the hundreds (thousands?) of people doing the 5k, “our part” was still five kilometers long. You’d think we could have split it up better or something.

WordPress __autoload() idea

PHP 5 introduces autoloading classes. The way WordPress is currently structured, I don’t think we’d get much benefit from switching to autoloading. There aren’t that many classes in core WordPress that don’t need to get loaded on every page load.

With some restructuring, though, we might be able to cut down on the number of bytes of code we load on every page (and we could get rid of some class_exists() and require_once calls).

We’d want an autoloader, though, that could handle plugin files as well as core files.
