I've never understood people who DON'T upgrade as soon as they are available. Especially with the past WP has had with security holes. Common sense, people!
- Antigone
I upgrade all the blogs and keep track of scheduled upgrades. I have got to lock down my hta access since that's how I'm getting hacked once again.

Antigone: Some don't pay attention, some people procrastinate, some have been bitten with upgrades in the past.

I just learned today that my tweets on Tweetdeck are not showing up at all in twitter search. Massive fail.

Design fail imho. FriendFeed made better choices. Now the atomicity of the idea behind twitter is what makes it more "known" than FriendFeed.

Twitter better jump on the 'groups' bandwagon soon without having to use a 3rd party app or I'm going to jump boat. It's getting too hard for me to keep up and I only follow 250 people.

steenface! : What Do You Think?: BlogHer Edition - http://www.steenface.com/...
"I've been too exhausted and busy to read up on any drama this year. Last year's darama seemed really overblown once I watched the video of the keynote. I think it was more funny than anything. Umm, I've really wanted to go for a long time. About three years ago it was in Santa clara like 10 minutes from my house and even THEN I couldn't make it. Then it was in San Francisco, about an hour from me and I wasn't able to make it. BLAH! Like you, I want to go every year but 'stuff' is always in the way. This year it was a laid off husband and needing to spend that money on things like food and all that 'necessary' crap. But seriously, there was drama? I'm serious, I don't know when I'll have time to catch up on my feed reader so if you wanted to send me the Ciff's notes I wouldn't complain."

Just a note: when someone in the community gets bitchy (including me) there often is a reason that they can't make public. Discuss:

One A lister was bitchy in public cause he was getting death threats in private. Me? I have a lot of chaos going on in my life that I can't articulate in public yet. So, if I'm a bit bitchy, come back next week. :-)

Even with this disclaimer, there will always be a cadre of people who will ignore or disregard any possible reasonable explanation and chalk it up to your poor moral fiber and/or how you don't have a life and/or how you're so full of yourself because you're an internet celebrity/a-lister.
- Mark Trapp
At least you're always honest about stuff that's going on Robert. It's one of the many reasons that so many people like you. You may well have the world's largest ego, but you're also a very sweet and caring person and you're damned good at what you do.
- Chrimmus Tad
I didn't even notice! Re: Twitter... I don't think people care much about attitude on occassion. We can't read all the tweets when we have over 70 followers, so we just "scan"... and I think sometimes, we don't even notice bitchiness because we are too busy. Just my thoughts on it... Sorry you are having so much Chaos. It's in the air these days, but hang in there!
- Colleen
Can I just watch? Do I have to discuss? Is this like one of those mandatory fishing licenses?
- Matthew DeVries
If someone if going to get bitchy wouldn't it be better to just sit back and take a break? I think everyone would prefer if you didn't say anything rather then say something mean. At least that is what my Mom used to tell me.
- Titus Ferguson
I had noticed you seemed a bit upset about things lately, but I certainly wasn't holding it against you. You've more than earned good will from me. Also, most disputes that play out in public have a private backstory that might change your opinion about who's right and who's wrong.
- Paul Rodriguez
I was unaware of the "chaos" other than the recent layoff at FC (that would be disturbing for sure!); otherwise I had no clue. Hope you are OK and chaos is going away fast!! Love ya man!
- Susan Beebe
You have the right to bitchy once in awhile. Everyone does.
- Shevonne
That's almost always the case.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Robert, now you are practically forcing us to ask what will happen next week. I hate cliff hangers ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
Hope whatever you're having to deal with gets resolved or becomes easier soon. Always enjoy the content you throw up here and at your site (and a lot of the videos as well) ...
- Patrick Jordan
Thanks everyone, it's all good actually. Can't wait to explain this post, but need to tie up some loose ends, get some more video uploaded to Fast Company.tv (some really cool interviews are coming later tonight). Let's just say this economy is causing lots of interesting things to pop into focus in my life and Maryam and me are working through it. This post wasn't just about me, though. Lots of my friends are going through far worse things than I am and I see it leaking into their behaviors a little bit.

Going back to MS?
- Tomi Itkonen
Tomi: no. But that would be interesting, wouldn't it?
- Robert Scoble
But how do you differentiate between the people who are just regularly bitchy and those who are reacting to stress by being bitchy? Isn't bitchy, bitchy?

I thought A-Listers weren't allowed personal days? Silly Scoble. ;)

Don Miguel Ruiz's 4th agreement: Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. /// So sometimes saying nothing, and eliminating the "coming off as bitchy" attitude is the best. Of course, being human, that is not always possible. I know I wish I could rewind on some of my own less than stellar comments.

Antigone: it's rule #13 in the corporate blogging manifesto (I wrote that a week before I started working at Microsoft to remind myself of my principles): http://scoble.weblogs.com/2003...

Trish: when bitchy people are under stress they get bitchier. :-)
- Robert Scoble
this is why I prefer not to bitch on friendfeed (or anywhere online). And I try not to post when I'm in a bitchy mood either. Though, I might make a bitchy comment or two, here and there.
- Jim Addz No Value
Robert, sorry to hear about that. Call me if you ever want to talk about it.
- Jesse Stay
Hope the chaos resolves soon and life becomes more pleasant for you again. Good to meet you in mountain view. We've got your talk up o video at http://blog.smibs.com/posts... I've sent an E-mail but couldn't get through. Keep my fingers crossed that you get on top of the chaos soon. Meanwhile be as bitchy as you feel.
- Peter Urban
Jim: I try not to be bitchy too, but sometimes it takes more self control than I am capable of.
- Robert Scoble
Peter: cool video! Love your 5D. I want one. Oh, things are actually going great -- today. It's just the past two weeks that were making me bitchy. It's why my blog is constipated.
- Robert Scoble
True enough. Sometimes trivial, sometimes not so much. Sometimes just the grind and weight of the environment we are in. I have the luxury of withdrawing in those times, people in higher profiles don't. At least, not so much.
- Karoli
Sorry your life sucks right now, Robert. Understand why you can't discuss. I think it's ridiculous that a social media expert would get death threats. Huh?
- Helen Sventitsky
Negative people and constant complainers don't do anything for me. On the Internet, I've found it's easier to block them, when selective hearing can no longer be practiced due to them always showing up everywhere you are with their two cents. Makes my Internet life a lot easier. I rarely see you bitchy Robert.
- Mona Nomura
Robert, it might be better to stay quiet then. Quietness is easier to understand for people I think. Everyone has a right to vacation.
- Meryn Stol
Yep, and I wouldn't actually be that surprised because I assume MS is one of the safest places to be during times like these... Regarding the economy: one can not take it personally because we are all affected by it - we are in this together. Remembering that, it's easier to handle all the negative stuff that comes...
- Tomi Itkonen
Helen: I'm not getting death threats. That was Mike Arrington. He's written about that publicly now, but when he was going through it I could see it affect his writing. Plus he wasn't able to stay at his house during that time. Really sucked.
- Robert Scoble
Yes, but it usually ends up badly for everyone around. I agree though, there is usually a reason, sometimes it would be cool if the person said "I am being bitchy cause I am getting death threats" or "people want me to do something I am not all that happy about". Those explanations would go a long way to smoothing over ruffled feathers, most would respond well to that.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Robert - I completely understand. You have every right to 1) share or not share as you see fit 2) have things we don't know about (and shouldn't know about) affect your mood.
- Brian Roy
I was feeling bitchy and in despair yesterday, went on a walk, and realized I had eaten too many cookies.
- anna sauce
Everyone is allowed to be bitchy - whether they ultimately divulge the reasons for it or not. Uninterrupted happiness can only be induced with chemicals! That said, I think many are more bitchy than usual because of change - primarily in the economy. Tough times are ... tough. That sounds trite but I think it's true too.
- AJ Kohn
I just sit down and compose a verses or write a story, any time i feel that way. When I don't I make sure I am making the most noise~

OMG is that FF comment spam? True, honest to goodness spam? NOOOOO!
- Neal Jansons
Ahh, I love deleting spam comments in the afternoon.
- Robert Scoble
Dan: in Arrington's case he couldn't disclose that. AJ: I tried chemicals, they don't work permanently. Having Milan do his happy dance when he sees me, though, gets me out of a bitchy mood every time.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert - I do understand that mike had to keep things close, much like Kathy Sierra did as well. There are times to keep quiet and take a break.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Where is the video of this happy dance, Scoble?
- coldbrew
@Robert: Agreed. A smile, a phrase or a dance from your child is the quickest way out of a mood.

Robert - you can come visit us in Iowa ... no one will know you and you can get some nice peace and quiet

it's true. definitely about 100% of the time with me anyway.
- Juho Tunkelo
Robert, if you go visit Andy in Iowa, check out Montebello Inn in Ames. Tiny B&B, absolutely gorgeous and peaceful, great wireless, hidden away from everything.
- Patricia F. Anderson
Regarding the original statement, well, duh. True in RL as well as virtual or SocMed. Also often true when someone is not bitchy but just sad, slow and dragging. Now the trick is for the rest of us to assume that something is going on behind scenes and not take things personally. I find that hard sometimes ...
- Patricia F. Anderson
When is your last day at FC?
- sean percival
Sean: define "last."
- Robert Scoble
Excellent advice Robert > 13) If your life is in turmoil and/or you're unhappy, don't write. When I was going through my divorce, it affected my writing in subtle ways. Lately I've been feeling a lot better, and I notice my writing and readership quality has been going up too.
