know any reliable smtp servers for sending e-mail from a small-mid size web-app? let me know please.
sending mail is trivial with Python, perhaps you could integrate that in your app.
- Bill Scherer
I'm not having issues with actually communicating with an smtp server to send mail (using gmail now), we've had some reports of users not getting activation emails etc, there's no communication errors in the logs, so it's got to be the smtp server.

For PHP, CSS, HTML, etc, I use Panic's Coda. For everything else, I usually find myself sshing into the server and using vim. Nearly all of my web development revolves around PHP, database administration, and server administration.
- Mark Trapp
I use Eclipse for Java... I'd prefer IntelliJ, but then it's not free, so. For pretty much everything else I use Gedit (woo Linux) hacked up with some sake tasks to make development easier.

From time to time I have used Dreamweaver mostly because of it's autocomplete but use many different tools depending on where I work.

Does anyone plan to import feeds into their rooms? (new feature for room admins)
Craig Eddy, John Cass, Brian Sullivan and 6 other people liked this
This is where admins and moderators come into play. What constitutes a topical, "relevant feed"?
- Anthony Farrior
We're talking about it in the Environment room. Will it add community or noise? Jury is still out.
- Chris Baskind
this was my first thought, great idea, could become a noise machine without the right pruning.
- Tsega Dinka
I'm not planning on it. The concept does not fit well with the few rooms I moderate.
- Kevin D. White
For some reason I can't get a shared items feed from Google Reader to work.
- David Owens
I did it for the Achewood room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...). Chris Onstad has feeds for each of the characters in the strip, and it lends itself really nicely to it.
- Mark Trapp
Others are talking about doing a FF search on the public feed and adding that to the room (I have a Formula 1 room -http://friendfeed.com/rooms... that I have added a search for "formula 1" rss to to see what happens)
- Brian Sullivan
seems to be a problem when using a ff search in a room http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Brian Sullivan
I've added several feeds to my two rooms. The twitter room has the twitter status blog, which just seems too perfect, and my mac room now has a few mac feeds for news and software. Seemed appropriate to me.
- Brad McCrorey
Brad, those seem like appropriate uses for room feeds. I couldn't imagine that a feed would be beneficial to this room.
- ben bloch
i think you have to carefully deliberate on what feeds to bring in. what would you bring in here?
- Brian Breslin
we could add the feed from every other room and make a master friendfeed rooms room (just kidding)
- ben bloch
Just added a feed to the Zune room I created. I'll have to see if I like that or not, as I usually Share posts into the room from the feed I added anyway. So it seems that if the feed has lots of posts Shared in the room, there's room for lots of duplication...
- Craig Eddy
Consensus in the Environment room was "no." But i think the feed feature will be useful to a lot of people.
- Chris Baskind
Interesting idea. Including the entire netvibes: WorldDemocracy into #democracy kinda.
- MattisManzel
I think it's a good addition to the rooms, whether too much will lead to overkill remains to be seen!
- Joe Dawson
For sure, Will be very useful if used properly, there is allready rooms centered around all users including their feed ex. http://friendfeed.com/rooms...
- Tony C.
I have a room (lastfmfeeds) that is entirely built around the feeds that go into it. Over a dozen of us have shared our last.fm "recently played tracks" RSS feeds, allowing commentary on the tracks that show up. One person is also feeding the usual last.fm "loved items" feed. Only administrators can add feeds, though (which is probably a good thing overall, but was a little time-consuming in the beginning).

Nice. Great start! I'd get the 50mm 1.8 prime lens next. Awesome for portraits and low light.
- Tris Hussey
@Tris Hussey: I'd second that. It's also a bargain.
- Victor
@Victor & Tris Hussey: Ditto that...great lens for cheap.
- JA Castillo
Agree, a cheap 50mm should be the first lens anyone buys in my opinon. f/1.4 if you can afford it, otherwise f/1.8 is fine too.
- Thomas Hawk
Used to be a 50mm 1.8 was the standard "kit" lens for slrs (back in the day)
- Brian Sullivan
My daughter was just given the D40 (she's 10) so I've been playing with the 18-55 lens. It's a good one for sure. She's using my 18-135 mm. @Thomas, I looked at the 50mm 1.4, but the $400+ price tag was a lot more than the $130 for the 1.8. I the 50mm is my fav lens and I love learning with it.

ok, so I'm posting my first few pictures in my "learning" set on flickr until I get the hang of it. feel free to critique and advise. http://www.flickr.com/photos...

What do you like using D40x? Is it good enough for you? I have been thinking if it's enough for me or would it be better to get something more expensive.

The number of rooms and therefore moderators is growing quickly. Eventually moderators are going to need a place to discuss issues. This is the place.
pretty relevant thread to this discussion: http://friendfeed.com/e...

Excellent. Learning to moderate can be scary but also extremely rewarding. There are lots of questions and very few, if any, absolute right answers. Every moderator develops their own style. It is absolutely fascinating to watch it evolve.

If you are going to actively moderate you should lay down some simple rules or principles for members to follow. Moderation by surprise is always bad. If the room you moderate already has a lot of activity then you should open up a discussion about guidelines and level of moderation people want.
- Kevin D. White
Yes, the abilty to moderate confers responsibility for other people's words. How would we create an unmoderated room?
- Andy Roberts
The "don't spam the room" rule should be implicit. A guideline for discussion is provided in the room synopsis. So far there has been very little moderation, for the most part people keep it relevant and spam-free.
