The "head genius" is now on it and the ETA is now being measured in hours. The-logic-board-is-bad-too has turned into it's a software issue. Hoping that's really the case and that I'll really find out in about an hour. - Daniel Krech from BuddyFeed

Wow... that was kind of depressing. Chicken chicken chicken ;) - Daniel Krech from BuddyFeed

@eikeon @dchud my old iBook G4 finally died this morning it seems ... when it rains it pours
The failing hard drive has been replaced on my MacBook, but they found the logic board is faulty too... which I suspected had issues since the day I got it. So at least one more day to make due with my old mac mini. - Daniel Krech from BuddyFeed
damn, glad it is getting sorted out - Ed Summers

@eikeon got Time Machine backups? or Super Duper? Carbon Copy Cloner? Something? God, failing drives stress me out.
I have time machine backups, but not positive how recent. I was just about to check how recent in prep for snow leopard's arrival tomorrow when my mac died. - Daniel Krech from BuddyFeed

Whoa """The typical graduation ceremony in Norway doesn't involve family gatherings or school-hosted all night parties, it involves binge drinking while wearing specific overalls for 17 straight days. After the "Russ" ceremony is over, the young person has the right to call themself a "student", and can remove their 17 day-old, unwashed overalls. The ritual began in the 1700's when students had to wear horns on their head between taking university entrance exams and finding the results.""" - Daniel Krech

Guess I could use a twitter client that makes it easy to categorize stuff. I'm using Tweetie right now, and planning to ditch soonest.
FriendFeed FTW ;) - Daniel Krech
True. If there were a better way to sync follows between FF and Twitter, that would be ideal. - Uche Ogbuji from email
Indeed. Hopefully FF has something along those lines in the works. In the mean time I've just been syncing by hand periodically and also creating a few select invisible friends. - Daniel Krech

Anyone else experiencing 10-20 second freezes periodically on their MacBook Pro 13 inch laptops? I have ever since I got it a month or so back. Can't take it any more... hoping there's a software solution else I have a trip to the Apple store in my near future. http://discussions.apple.com/thread...
What are your Mac stats? - Shevonne
http://store.apple.com/us... Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03 SMC Version (system): 1.47f2 - Daniel Krech
I mean, how much space do you have, apps you downloaded, etc. - Shevonne
Ah. I migrated my bits over from my 15 inch MacBook using the migration thing. I have around 140GB used up... much of which is music. When it freezes for the 10-20 seconds... iTunes stops playing, disk I/O freezes, I think network I/O freezes... but I can still move mouse pointer around and I've heard some of the sounds mail makes a few times while it was other wise frozen. - Daniel Krech
I had that problem on my (OLD) MBP, and it was due to the hard-drive beginning to fail. Luckily, I ran a backup right before it died. I'm not saying your HD is dying, but you might want to make sure your backups are recent and take it in to get looked at. The other option would be to run a good backup and do a clean install of the OS to see if that clears it up. - Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, nice re: having current backup and thanks for the info. I'm double checking my backups now. - Daniel Krech
Tried changing the 'Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible' option to off for the Power Adapter case... and just found out that didn't make a difference... as it just froze up again while I was typing this comment :| - Daniel Krech
any interesting/scary log messages in dmesg after it happens? - Andy Boyko
I wasn't able to spot anything last time I started digging into this issue and looked in the log. Looking at the log again now I'm getting distracted by a bunch of other things in the log... a few of which which have led to me cleaning up a thing or two. And of course since I'm waiting for a freeze to happen again so I can see if anything gets logged... one hasn't happened. - Daniel Krech

@eikeon that looks good -- we should do market lunch for soft shell tomorrow yo
Just seeing this now. Sounds good. - Daniel Krech

Oh, Java, you are like typing with mittens on. Mittens made of rotting fruit and filled with bees. Not totally sure about that analogy.
Sounds about right ;) - Daniel Krech

SemanticTweet - twitter meets the semantic web - http://semantictweet.com/
Cool -- I'll have to copy-and-paste that into my existing FOAF file. - Peter Murray
Rather than copy n' paste I guess you could do the equivalent of: <http://inkdroid.org/ehs> owl:sameAs <http://semantictweet.com/edsu#me> ? - Ed Summers
I could, but there is a lot of crap in my my Twitter FOAF file that I probably want to hand edit out. Also, wouldn't I need to combine FOAF entries for people that appear in both lists? - Peter Murray
I couldn't even find your foaf file as advertised in your homepage :-) What sort of stuff would you want to edit out? No you wouldn't need to combine the FOAF files, unless you are really thorough. Eventually if those people asserted they were the same as the semantictweet URI the stuff would just naturally fold together. - Ed Summers
It's not there? Hmmm. I'll have to add it. The real problem is, though, that the service picks up people following me. There are people following me (such as http://semantictweet.com/wagnerc... ) that I don't want on the list. And, technically speaking, there are people I'm following that are not http://xmlns.com/foaf... - Peter Murray
Oh, that is problematic. I thought the RDF coming back from semantictweet only included people you follow, not people that follow you. - Ed Summers
Odd they chose to list people following you as well. Hopefully semantictweet will change it to people one's following. - Daniel Krech
Might actually be nice to have it only include foaf:knows assertions when the following is symmetrical - Ed Summers
Ditto on the symmetrical following! - Jodi Schneider
Yep, there is a "follows" relation in the SIOC spec, but I think it is between accounts (sioc:Users) not human people (foaf:Person). Maybe we need to document and advocate that pattern more carefully... - Dan Brickley
I've updated SemanticTweet to deal with some of these issues. See the homepage for a brief overview, with a blog post to follow.None of this is set in stone, so if there's a consensus on better/more appropriate way of doing things, let me know and I'll be happy to take it on board. - Steve Flinter
Ah, that's better -- thanks Steve. I think I'll just add the owl:sameAs equivalency as Ed suggested above. - Peter Murray

lunch [yum more avocado]
"i'm on an elimination diet, doctor's orders, to see if i am allergic to anything. basically, foods must be whole, gluten free, and without chemicals and pesticides to try to combat my thyroid issues. my habit was to partake in the standard american diet of processed foods. however, i'm finding that eating healthy is getting a lot easier. i discovered i like avacado. in fact, that's an understatement. i LOVE me some avacado. (put a little bragg's amino acid on it and scoop it up with some mary be gone crackers!) i can eat it every day!" - Myrna from Bookmarklet
Time to get something to eat... wish I could order from these yummy items scrolling past me in my FriendFeed ; - Daniel Krech
Why not Daniel, any health food stores in your area...Whole Foods? - Myrna
Myma, just that I was already a few hours past lunch and needed something that I could source within a few feet rather than a few blocks away ;) My 'My discussions' view on FriendFeed is turning into a pretty good menu of choices for when I'm off to a store :D - Daniel Krech
Daniel, I'll tell you about my daily homemade salad if you'd like to make it. - Myrna

Virtually Waterless Laundry Washing Machine
"Although only in prototype stage, this new machine may be able to save up to 90% of water compared to a conventional machine and will also cut carbon emissions. Created by Xeros, this machine replaces the old school idea of cleaning clothes. The technology goes with full on chemistry advances by replacing the majority of the water with reusable nylon polymer beads, the machine can clean clothes in less time than traditional machines, and we see these waterless wonders then you can thank Professor Stephen Burkinshaw, from the University of Leeds who made the discovery that certain types of polymer beads could be used for cleaning." - Bo Stern from Bookmarklet
Neat. - Daniel Krech

Waiting for the sun on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
"We do have plenty of poppies this year - so I - when time - take the opportunity to capture them. IMO it is not so easy to photograph them. Well, they are georgeous. The colour is great, often they do have a nice contrast to the greens of the fields - the blues of the corn-flowers and even the yellow of the last flowers of the coleseed. Sounds easy - so far. But they are never in order: old flowers, other plants disturb a harmonic composition even when using open focus. Shoot during the day, the contrasts are difficult to handle. Using direct light, pictures come out pretty boring. Backlight is great, but if to strong difficult to handle as well. (An assistent holding a reflector might help). Last but not least: after a rainshower - and in contrast to most of the flowers - they aren´t photogenic at all." - A. T. from Bookmarklet
Still love, love, love this photo - Daniel Krech
glad I brought love at least for one more human :) - A. T.
I'd love a full resolution version of this photo. Looking. - Daniel Krech
