20 essential firefox add ons for web designers - http://sixrevisions.com/tools...
Most of these are redundant as they are already built into the web developer toolbar. Not impressed but there are a couple I would like to review.
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on Has anyone ever configured their PC to be a DVR? Is that difficult to do? The digital TV conversion killed my Replay and I can't stand watching TV on the network's schedule. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Do any of these PVR setups allow you to have a central computer and simultaneously stream to multiple TVs? For instance, I'd like to stream Max and Ruby to the children's playroom while the teens watch Heroes in the den and the wife and I catch up on Lost in another room. (Too much tv...yes...but that's a different issue). I would like to think building one setup rather than one per tv would be best."
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on Quick poll: You work 10-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week. Your wife has no job, plays WoW and browses the internet all night and sleeps all day, but does nothing else. What would you do? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I would be thankful she has a hobby!"
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on So I need to break a cultural rule... - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"This is a very good one as different cultures have different definitions of personal space. Some stand very close while others far apart. In GA standing really close could be uncomfortable for you and the person you are near."
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on I'm a dentist. AMA. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"If someone lacks insurance or financial means to go to a dentist, are they better to wait until they can afford to go to a dentist or should they seek free/low cost services of the Health Dept or an interfaith clinic? If they do that, will they be subjected to substandard care or short cuts?"
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on I'm a dentist. AMA. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"How do you pick a good dentist? Is it just a crap shoot that you figure out you have a bad dentist after something permanent has been done?"
- Doug McCaughan
djuggler on What words do you HATE to hear mispronounced? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"gif"

djuggler on Men of Reddit: How do I tell the guy I'm dating I'm pregnant? - http://www.reddit.com/r...

So I am a bad blog administrator. But no one died. I am not in jail. I don't owe millions. My sons still hug me. There are worse mistakes!

yeah seriously. lets move on. mine got hit as well. its back up.

i dunno...you might want to have another think about that... :)
- Simon Hicks
you should hire someone to do the occasional WP updates :-)
- Holger Eilhard
I am about to move to squarespace anyway
- Shawn Hickman
I would anticipate that an update to WordPress in the near future will have the ability to push automatic updates. Its nearly there now.
- Doug McCaughan
Holger: believe me they are being done now.

in the social economy, its' not money or health that suffers. This one comes out of your reputation bank account. No worries, you are rich there
- Warren Whitlock
Ah well....the perils of making your mistakes in public instead of in quiet peaceful anonymity and obscurity like the rest of us..lol :-)
- Julia Ault
I realize you are a lightening rod for these types of discussions Robert. but I have had many discussions with web designers/developers who are about fed up with the amount of updating and securing involved w/ self-hosted WordPress blogs. some have had similar experiences as you w/ regards to being hacked.
- jbrotherlove
Opportunities like this excite all the "you should"ers. It's all good until it happens to them – and if they're interesting enough, it surely will.
- Jason Hargrove
Beginning to see cooler heads today on this issue. Yesterday you would think everyone was on crazy pills.
- David Bisset
Doug: Problem with the update system I've seen until now is that it requires to have an FTP account to the machine. (?) I try to stay away from that insecure thing as far as possible and only use SFTP via ssh...
- Holger Eilhard
There are worse things in life. Singing offkey and torturing billions as a result is one :D
- Sean Kearney
jbrotherlove: Maybe those designers/developers aren't up on the latest. Wordpress has a one-button update. How hard could that be? Haven't been forced to update Wordpress blogs in a while... plus there are ways to make your Wordpress site more secure, backup databases, etc. blah, blah, blah... :)
- David Bisset
Like ;), this is the spirit!
- Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF
from iPhone
Tim: yadda yadda yadda ? :)
- David Bisset
Holger: I'm an sftp/ssh fan myself. Perhaps we should encourage the wp team to push for a more secure AND automatic update process.
- Doug McCaughan
... therefore you're a «D'Oh! Dad» : good! :-)
- Claude LaFrenière
Doug: Yep, we should! I've been wondering too why they're ignoring the fact that FTP is insecure! On the other hand I just did a quick search for this and found this post: http://devioustree.co.uk/2009... Or there should be an option to put the up-to-date version of WP into a given folder manually and have wordpress automatically update from there. Shouldn't be too complicated?
- Holger Eilhard
David Bisset, you're right. there is a one-button backup option. but it has not worked as well (or at all) for some users (it worked for me). as for all the ways to make WP more secure, that's great if you are tech savvy with 1-2 blogs. when you are an "average" user or have multiple clients using WP, it's not so attractive.
- jbrotherlove
There are ways to make Wordpress more secure (outside of keep it updated). I'm betting now that you'll be seeing it in newer Wordpress versions by default. As a Wordpress developer, it's also my responsibility to spread the word.
- David Bisset
jbrotherlove: Well, it's up to Automatic or someone then to figure out why it doesn't work for everybody then. I've had no problems with it, and you noted you didn't either. Users with issues could be using crappy plugins perhaps? Just a guess.
- David Bisset
Since time before time, asses will try and take what you've got. // "Massive ancient wall uncovered in Jerusalem" http://is.gd/2XE6K (CNN) ///// I wonder how many holes those people felt obliged to continually patch.

After trying many platforms like Joomla, b2Eveolution, and others, for blogging, CMS, and sites, Wordpress is still a Best Solution even during it's growing pains.

I would but I'd be so busy guarding my wallet from Jeff Pulver it'd be kinda pointless. ;)
- Grayson Daughters
it's all about the tools, baby!
- Dan Parsons
Robert: I certainly can't, as it's merely another part of my day-to-day job. And a small one at that. I do try to interact with as many as I can on behalf of our company, but tens of thousands would likely warrant dedicated person/s (for us, anyway)
- Nick Wade
I don't say *you* can't; I say *I* can't. I can't even keep up with the 400+ I follow.
- Glen Campbell
Another thing I have a hard time explaining to friends. Tools & different personalities make a difference. Everybody has different styles, preferences and purposes.
- phil baumann
Robert, you're a machine though! ;-)
- Richard H
Maybe with 3 or 4 screens I might have a fighting chance, but tens of thousands would make my head spin.
- Dave Martinez
practice helps to learn and develop the most efficient methods for your usage requirements
- Mike Chelen
I believe following tens of thousands and interacting is possible. Still would like that seat for a few minutes.
- Doug McCaughan
mixero sounds interesting for the groups/filtering stuff - i could see that being a helpful tool - waiting on my invite...
- Nicholas Orr
Well, Mr. Crunch's accusations aside, I think the real question is whether or not you have time for anything else.
- Mike Shields
Fire up your camera. We'll all sit by you.
- Kreg Steppe
Always good to see video of how you do socialise to this number (and still are able to have a conversation as well as broadcasting one way which is the predominant style for those with large followings.)
- Tom Tubbs
post some video of how you do it, Robert.
- Chris Duffy
Yes, all of those famous videos, how about a day in the life of Robert Scoble.
- Chris Patterson
How do you find the time to do it while doing your own work? Doesn't it get in the way sometimes?
- Alvin
I think it's cool that some people interact with thousands. It is obviously a skill that requires work and a social media passion. If I was at the tech forefront - I'd love to do it just like the scobelizer - maybe it would even just come naturally.

- Louis Gray
According to Chris Brogan, a meaningful online presence "might take as much as an hour to two every day," so there's hope for those of us who aren't Robert Scoble. http://friendfeed.com/chrisbr...
- Bruce Lewis
Thinking there is a difference between interaction and attention: http://thomasknoll.info/post... Besides, Scoble, you're an anomaly.
- Thomas Knoll
I interact with tens of thousands of customers all day, but I give them my attention one at a time. I think most people confuse the two.
- Thomas Knoll
I would certainly love that seat. I'd also watch 'A day in the life of Robert Scoble' too!
- Alex Hellstrom
Robert, if they don't like your cologne they can sit next to me *giggle*
- Arleen Anderson
with the right tools, tens of thousands perhaps. hundreds of thousands? at what point does it get tough both theoretically and in practice I wonder? surely the tools can evolve further...
- chad calease
I guess I just must be boring to you. You never notice my twits. Oh, maybe there's another reason. If you were *really* following me......
- Hummie
Oh, weird...just realized this makes me impacted by my own blog post and the Brandon Heath song -- give me a heart for the ones forgotten -- see...you have some incredible opportunities awaiting you....and I ask....what are you missing, Mr. Scoble? http://blog.hummiesworld.com/2009...
- Hummie
Robert, has your feeling on this changed now that you have culled the number of people you are following on Twitter to 1400?
- Doug McCaughan
web pages and printed word have allowed interaction among large numbers of people in the past as well, now the quality and speed of communication have also increased
- Mike Chelen
Why do we share or not share information? What are the motives? How do we share? What are our tools? #pcb4
I wrote this as a Twitter specific post but it can be generalized for "sharing" http://realityme.net/2008... I believe we share because 1) we are by nature exhibitionists, voyeurs, and/or gossips 2) to convey newsworthy events..discussing "news" bonds people together and if you "break" the news it feeds the ego 3) common interests .. ie. to teach and to learn 4) spam .. sharing for selfishness, self-serving and profit
- Doug McCaughan
Where are the flying cars? Lets look at where we are now and where we may be going in the near term. #PCB4
Near term? Reduction of travel results in less need for private transportation. More people begin to telecommute as virtual worlds such as WoW and Second Life are realized as the meeting spaces of the future. Private transportation is replaced with personal shuttling services and temporary rented vehicles.

Working a project that involves a master image and overlaying other images upon it. Let's say the master is a map of the United States. When a student matches a state to its capital city in a form, the map updates (no page refresh) to show a gold star on the city and gray fade over the state. Pros and cons of doing this with jQuery vs Flash?
Silverlight should also be considered a choice.
