oh wow! #search just took the leap from "cool" to "awesome"! Now showing in real-time : )
Untitled-1.jpg
And why is this huge? Because now you can filter OUT stuff you don't want on your home feed in real-time, just like that! - vijay
Awwwwwwwwwwwsome ! - Ahsan Ali
ooo! what is this I hear? there's a murmur going around of the #tag feature being a case of FriendFeed copying twitter. hmmm... interesting. - vijay
Let them murmur and complain... this kind of awesomeness is bound to attract haters - Bwana
heh! I see what you did there Kol ; ) - vijay
Hehe, vijay. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
very cool!!!! - Susan Beebe via BuddyFeed
it is! : ) did you make anything interesting with it Susan? - vijay
Is there a way to "block" all entries from a room? With cross-posting happening, items from rooms I'm not interested in are popping up? Any existing ways of handling this?
Yes, add "-group:name" (or is it still "room"?) to a saved filter, i.e. <http://friendfeed.com/search...> - not tested. - ianf ⌘
Filters don't work in this context. They help you find stuff, they don't help you hide stuff in your feeds. - Brian Sullivan
vijay. A way I have done this is to subscribe to the room but then remove it from any list (untick Home). - Johnny Worthington
Good tip, Johnny. - Kol Tregaskes
Sure they do, Brian. The - operator lets you select out items you don't want, by room, poster, service, etc. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Adding some sort of mechanism to the hide dialog would be ideal. - Brian Sullivan
vijay, are you wanting to block this in your real-time feeds? Of course saved searches are not RT yet. - Kol Tregaskes
Tina but the sarved searches don't operate in real time and don't hide all the stuff you spend time adding to your hide filters so they aren't a feed just a static search. - Brian Sullivan
Tina, a dash on its own is too small an element to flag its double duty. You need to point that out, "-" as in "minus." - ianf ⌘
Thanks Johnny. That's what I was looking for. Kol, RT feed. (edit: as Brian had pointed out already). - vijay
Johnny's method works for the main feed but seems to not work for searches. - MVB
Yup, we still don't have a way to do that MVB. - vijay via iPhone

Ordinary Hen Lays World’s Biggest Egg - http://www.weirdasianews.com/2009...
Ordinary Hen Lays World’s Biggest Egg
"An ordinary hen laid an extraordinary egg in China this week, and her owner says that it’s one for the record books. According to owner Zhang Yinde, the egg is, at 201 grams, 25 grams heavier than the previous record holder. The egg is 6.3 centimeters wide and 9.2 centimeters long. Its shell is slightly misshapen and rougher than a typical egg one third its size. “The heroine hen is a super mother. She laid three other big eggs previously and once laid four eggs within one day,” Zhang, an employee of the Forestry Bureau of Suiling County, Suihua City of Heilongjiang, said. “She loves to walk around my dog’s kennel. I guess she’s been stealing the dog’s food.” Zhang got the chicken as a bonus with ten others. He is keeping the egg in his refrigerator until it is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records." - vijay via Bookmarklet
I bet she was walking funny for awhile . - EARL (Born in the USA)
eggscelent.. wonder wen we hear about hens laying a real golden egg. - gtp19
EARL.. LOL :D - gtp19
think about the size of the chick that's gonna hatch! If they don't make an omelette out of it, that is. - vijay
as britney sings "am not a gal, not yet a women", the hatched thing will b singing "am not a chick, not yet a hen", if u take size into consideration that is. - gtp19
I hope that's the only thing it copies from Britney though. - vijay
ok RoboGeisha... it's BEYOND mind-blowing... it's MIND-BLASTING!!

Matte Black MacBook Pro Looks Like a Deadly Stealth Ship - the damper? it's 6000$.
"This $6000 Colorware MacBook Pro isn't just impressive because of its price, it's impressive because it looks like what a real matte black MacBook Pro from Apple would look like. There are only ten available, and with each one costing $6000, you're probably not going to be one of the ten. So soak up the images and pretend that you can reasonably justify paying more than twice as much for a laptop just for it not to be so shiny and grey." - vijay via Bookmarklet
Too cheap for me, Sir! - directeur
bah! mere peanuts isn't it? =P LOL! - vijay
Yeah :P But baby you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be your star :D - directeur

I didn't know I loved matte black until I saw this. - Andrew C
That is PRETTY. *gadgetlust* - Jandy
I know. It's really well done. Awesome shots. Look at the sexy backlights on the keyboard. : ) - vijay
pretty, but $6000? Really? How'd they work that one out? $2000/$2500 for parts and $4000/$3500 for labour? - alphaxion
limited edition. Only 10 available. That's why. - vijay
meh - Yuvi
I wonder how many people will just spraypaint theirs? - alphaxion
lol! I don't think I wanna spray-paint mine. It's just not the same thing. - vijay
If you disassembled it carefully, sanded the case for a rough surface, painted it, then covered it with a matte finish, I wonder how close you could get. - Andrew C
that sounds like a plan Andrew but the big question is will there be any takers? : ) - vijay
HA HA HA HA HA! A $6000 macbook pro? no thanks. - Violet Mae Lim
I would be shocked if Colorware doesn't roll out a general matte black option soon. - Andrew C
Mall visits are not complete without Chaat!

This is so good, I'm thinking of making this a weekly ritual. Aloo Tikki away from cam and Katori Chat near cam. Apart from the names, I have NO IDEA what's in them. Probably Praveen can answer that. - vijay via email
Also, Pepsi + Chaat is the BEST combo ever. - vijay via iPhone
What is a chaat? - Rochelle
Handing over the stage to Praveen... =P - vijay via iPhone
"The chaat variants are all based on fried dough, with various other ingredients. The original chaat is a mixture of potato pieces, crispy fried bread, gram bean and spices, but other popular variants included Aloo Tikkis (garnished with onion, coriander, hot spices and a dash of curd), bhel puri, dahi puri, panipuri, dahi vada, papdi chaat, and sev puri. There are common elements among... more... - Todd Hoff
@Rochelle: Chaat is a kind of snack North-Indians prepare.They vary from sweet stuff to super spicy savouries. The main ingredients include puffed rice, potatoes (aloo), sev (dried noodles), dahi (curd), onions, coriander leaves, chilly powder etc. Depending on the ingredients you have preperations like Bhel Puri (puffed rice), Sev Puri (more of sev), Pani Puri (puri with spicy water and masala), Dahi puri (yoghurt), Paav Bhaji (soft base with spicy curry) etc etc :D - Praveen Vasudev
ok that's all greek to me but I DO know that it tastes real good. mmm spicccaaayyy!! :D - vijay
Oh, that sounds good. I've had some Indian food. I like saag paneer and paneer pakora and paneer tikka masala. As you can tell, I like cheese. - Rochelle
I used to LOVE paneer until 2 months back. There was this dish that I had never tried on the menu; I thought ok let's try that! That dish turned out to be nothing but 8 cakes(blocks) of Paneer. JUST PANEER! Took me an hour to chew that down! I ate my life's quota of Paneer that night. T-T - vijay
Oh wow, that's a paneer overdose. - Rochelle
the people around me thought it was funny and kept laughing as I tried my best to consume the abomination. Especially my cousins. *shakes fist* BRUTUS!! - vijay
Saw this ad today at the Mall.

Buddha gets a bulge down-under; Monks so NOT amused. #Marimokkori
"A rare and beautiful type of algae called marimo grows in some lakes in Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido. Marimo forms soft green globes that sit in clusters on the lake bottom. Combine the word marimo with the name of a phenomenon that’s not quite so rare—mokkori, meaning an erection—and you might picture a guy who looks as if he’s carrying a large ball of algae in the front of his pants. That guy is Marimokkori, a funny green doll often found on key chains. The image originated in Hokkaido, and though the details may vary from one doll to the next, all Marimokkori have at least these two things in common: a big smile and a big bulge in their trousers. One particular version of the character recently got its manufacturer in hot water. This adorable little fellow is in a seated position, and like all his counterparts, he sports the trademark big grin and big bump. Something sets him apart, however: In his gold headdress and ancient robe, he bears a distinct resemblance to common... more... - vijay via Bookmarklet
I used to have one of those balls in my lil' freshwater aquarium. - ronin
you can buy those? - vijay
That is beautiful algae :) - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
looks velvety. - vijay
Here in the US yeah. They call 'em moss balls. Cause no aquarium owner will willingly introduce algae to their tanks. =) - ronin
thought so. Unless they happen to be algae researchers =P - vijay
They're not as invasive as normal algae since they pretty much keep to their own cluster so not too bad. - ronin
wondering why they chose an algae, of all things, to represent it. o_o - vijay
