The fantabulous Barry (from ClearSkys) whipped up a little plugin to remove remote calls to update servers, and if you’re working locally and offline, those calls will slow you down to an agonizing crawl. So, enter a quickie.
See here for details: How to: remove remote calls in WordPress MU
Well that certainly opened up my eyes to see all those call outs that our wpmu installs are doing. Have to admit that I’m tempted to just put an end(); at the top of the update.php file but I’m sure that’ll either break something or miss checks somewhere else.
While I don’t see anything that worries me in those calls, it concerns me that stuff like that was optional.
Ooooh, I’ve never been called ” fantabulous” before
Hmmmm, his site is gone, it seems….. oh no!
