Well how many admins are there?

Mona, can you explain how this works? Maybe some instructions up in the header.
- Christopher Harley
Hey - I'm still experimenting with tagging features so this room isn't a full blown chaotic mess. In a day or so, I'm going to change it, so everyone / anyone can share. But until we come up with a good organizational method (with input from everyone in the room), I'm leaving it as is. :)
- Mona Nomura
always been the biggest challenge.
- shaun mclane
I think I figured out a system (at least for this room), until FriendFeed sup-s up the search engine. ;)
- Mona Nomura
I'm actually for having some rooms with admin posting, it's nice to have little/no noise
- Majento
Aw. I had a few wallpaper site contributions, was wondering why this room didn't show up in the bookmarklet. Now I know.
- Phil G
How about adding a [TAG] prefix in post title, for example "[MAC] How to...", [WINXP] Blah", "[PHOTOSHOP] Blah", "[TWITTER] Blah" or [GMAIL] Blah" ?
- LouCypher
Lou: That's a great idea. The strangest thing about search is, it doesn't pull up partial key words. For example, "icon" and "icons" pull up separately. Searching "Win" doesn't pull up "Windows" posts. "Window" and "Windows" come up separately. I automatically assumed Boolean Searching worked. LOL Perhaps if we came up uniform keywords and if everyone stuck to that format it would be somewhat organized (until FriendFeed improves the search and archiving). What do you think?
- Mona Nomura
[MONA] Good point Mona, the idea is actually pretty good too! 8D (Yeah, posting back on FF yeeha! Have to get back at ya in an hour though... :(

@Mona - No. I didn't mean to suggest that. I'm liking your pace. I think it's a good decision.

Mona, this has answered a few of my questions about the Goodies room but one thing it hasn't. Why doesn't this room appear on any of my friends lists?

It should, Kol. Will you take a screen shot so I can see what you're seeing?

Typical it's started to work now. All I did was unjoin and join, not sure what effect that would have. Thank you Mona, problem appears to be solved.

Sad... On a more positive note: "It was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen [DJ AM's and Barker's performance last night]," said Brett Flashnick, a freelance photographer who works for The Associated Press and attended the concert for a local newspaper."

"I didn't know what I had seen — it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet," Owens said. Owens then described what he saw as he tried to make it to the wreckage.

Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician."

"TMZ reports that DJ AM's face has been severely burned and is being treated right now. Travis is expected to survive, but was burned from the waist down. Chris Baker, Travis' assistant who died in the crash, was a newlywed and his wife recently had a baby." :(

JDarkroom on a flash drive... or Q10, depending on my mood and need for wordcount/stats onscreen. Just words. No bullshit. Word properly set up, though, -can- rock hard for more complex documents, but at some point you gotta move on to, say, Framemaker....

Google Docs?
- Igor Poltavskiy
Hell. Yes. I'm pretty much a Notepad (or at worst Wordpad) user unless I need advanced features. And then I've turned off most of Word's auto formatting things I can find.

What's wrong with Google Docs? @Jandy: Notepad LOL I TOTALLY still use that haha

OMG the automatic formatting is SUCH a pet peeve of mine! HATE x 1000!

I use GoogleDocs when I think about it; but it prints kinda funky, so I never used it for school, which was when I mostly used word processing anyway. LOVE Notepad. It doesn't frak up html. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
EPIC WIN. Candace's friend's chart would be awesome, too. That's another EPIC WIN: "Making the %)*%@#$ site work in IE". So I'm not the only one who uses Google Docs now? (OpenOffice isn't really necessary yet... Word 2003 and I have reached an understanding, but it's not my go-to program at all.)

True.

Mona, so true and one reason why I now use Pages or G Docs, life is more efficient these days
- Sally Church
I absolutely despise Word. Working on getting my entire company switched to Google Docs via Google Apps. I either use Google Docs or, when on my mac, Pages.
- Robert DeBord
If have to use Word on a regular basis, it's worth reading up on the automatic formatting as there some commands that you *must not* use otherwise you'll start to descend into formatting hell. Come back Lotus Wordpro! All is forgiven!

@Bwana - me too! If they ask me later, I just say I was playing a game and didn't notice :P

I prefer going invisible. That way, I can IM you out of nowhere, like a Ninja of chat.
- Dan Kaplan
Nobody IMs me :(
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I do that too.

I'm busy. My favorite message. 80% of time I'm not.

For some reason Gtalk doesn't support invisible =\ I got caught a few times lol
- Mona Nomura
IM?! What's that .. is that the thing that people used before twitter?!
- Shivanand Velmurugan
FF has become my IM. IM is annoyingly distracting. Esp the godawful <BUZZ> feature.
- Jericho
I do the same thing. My friends IM me anyway with "stop lying to everyone" or "who are you trying to avoid today?"

- Mona Nomura
I always enjoy talking to people. Maybe some of my friends are using these techniques against me. :D
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Depends. For me, IM = New Voicemail + text. Mine are up 24-7 so most people leave messages. If I respond, they understand since.. well.. that's me ;)
- Mona Nomura
If i'm online, I don't feel obliged to carry on long conversations, most of my contacts do though. So I'm away a lot.
- Todd Jordan
My confession: I do pretty much the same but have a utility for Windows live messenger that tells me if u r really 'idle' or just pretending to be away. Still looking for one for Google talk so I can find my traitor friends on gtalk.
- Kamath (नमः)
I "Liked" this on FF cause Mona N wrote it, thats it ... thats the whole reason.

Kamath: LOL!! @Cody..... you don't have to obligatory like ;)

I wont on everything... Just did on that one cause it felt right and I have made this rule that I am gonna explain all my likes so I had to have a reason and that was a good one
- Cody Heitschmidt
Chat? What is that? ;-)

I was the same way - sadly, my friends were smart enough to figure this out. So now I need to sign out...

Yea, no one buys when I'm away anymore. Not even worth the effort.
- Steve Spalding
My IMs are always set to "Away" as of recently 2 weeks ago or so. Same reasons as Mona stated before.
- imabonehead
I don't do this, but I will confess to hardly ever actually initiating an IM. I don't mind if people IM me, though.
- Phil G
Used to talk/ytalk, but guess I'm too old to do much IM. Works well though the few times I've tried.

I have patience, but do you really believe that after all these hours there will be any other fixes? I am pretty sure their backup is couple of months old and atm that's all they can do. If it doesn't get completely fixed, I'm off Twitter forever. I don't have the time and energy to rebuild everything from scratch just to see it screwed in the end.
- Alex Popescu
from twhirl
@Alex: That's the major problem with the missing followers issue: many people claimed they stay on Twitter instead of moving anywhere for the sake of the community they have here and unwillingness to build it elsewhere.
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
This is getting a wee bit ridiculous, I agree. The only reason for staying on Twitter was the community and quality of the circle of friends built up over time. Now that is completely f**ked up and if they cant get this right, even with all the new engineers from the Summiza buyout, I really will start to lose my Mojo for Twitter and just not care anymore about community and just let if fade out of my consciousness. This Stockholm syndrome is bullshit!!!

Red Bull and vodka would totally rock, wouldn't it? Ice cold.

trust me, never drink red bull with grog, ever. Vodka in particular. Besides the health risk it's evil. On the other side, welcome to the RedBull club. We mass buy it when it's on special because its so bloody expensive here

As Mona says. Anything over 2 red bulls and you're in risky territory (it even says so on the can here in Australia...nanny state and all). If you're getting pissed on it, you don't keep count
