Attention WordPress users: The monthly Memphis WordPress meetup will be this Thursday, April 7, at the EmergeMemphis building at 516 Tennessee Street. This month’s presentation is by Otto42<\/a>, who is one of the top contributors to the WordPress codebase, and who now works for WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg. He’ll be discussing the new post types in WP 3.1. Every now and then I get somebody asking me, “Really? You know Otto42?” Yep, and you can meet him Thursday night. I’ve been very lazy about attending these meetups, but I will make it to this one. Join the WordPress Memphis meetup group here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThoughtfully stroking his beard
\nTalking to himself<\/em><\/p>\n

That gives me another 50 minutes of lunch break… hmmm, maybe I’ll do a “Where I eat in Southaven\/Horn Lake” post. A friend of mine thinks I eat at Chili’s every day. I’ve actually never been to the Chili’s. Hmmm let me see what I can come up with…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
