Mute Screamer 1.0.6 has been released. This updated fixes a minor bug with the update hashes. They seem to be out of date on the PHPIDS website, so I’ve rolled my own solution for now.
This should fix the problem some users were having problems with the updater asking users to update when the files were the same.
pea.rs is a great idea from Simplebits that helps you collect and test common patterns of markup and style.
Mute Screamer 1.0.4 is out. This release brings some minor improvements and WordPress 3.3 compatibility and also some minor bug fixes. For full details checkout the changelog.
Derick Rethans has a nice write up on installing multiple PHP versions for developing, testing and for supporting different configuration needs.

This is a handy little wrapper around wp_redirect I use in functions.php. Most of the time when using wp_redirct I want PHP to exit, so thats what the following function does, and while we’re at it why not throw in the ability to accept a post ID or a uri for the location.
/**
* A handy wrapper to wp_redirect which exits after calling wp_redirect.
* $location can be a url or a post id.
*
* @param string|integer
* @return bool False if $location is not set
*/
function wptf_redirect( $location = '', $status = 302 ) {
$permalink = false;
if( is_int( $location ) ) {
$permalink = true;
$location = get_permalink( $location );
}
if ( ! $location ) {
return false;
}
if( ! $permalink ) {
$location = ltrim( $location, '/' );
$location = '/'.trailingslashit( $location );
$location = get_bloginfo( 'url' ).$location;
}
wp_redirect( $location, $status );
exit;
}

I just upgraded to 10.6.5 and noticed that apachectl stops working properly. When I run apacheclt now it gives me this error:
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 82: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
The problem seems to be with the ULIMIT variable in the shell script:
ULIMIT_MAX_FILES="ulimit -S -n `ulimit -H -n`"
I think the problem is that ulimit returns “unlimited” which cannot be used in the command ulimit -S -n, so I just changed the ULIMIT back to what it was before upgrading to 10.6.5:
ULIMIT_MAX_FILES=""
