The iphone I've used since this summer formerly belonged to Bwana. I only purchased it on ebay b/c I knew him online (identi.ca, not ff, but now we're both here)
- Micah Wittman
Thanks Ken...for bringing me my dinner :)
- Sheryl
So, is the point of joining a social network to get exposure for your blog?
- Yolanda
Let me give you an example...Ken is a brilliant writer but it has always been really focused on Unified Communications. You would be hard pressed to find a better writer. (That's just facts)
- Sheryl
and don't forget that one man's crap is another man's best of day
- Jim Hearts FF
I would really like it if FriendFeed filtered out @ replies from Twitter. Maybe I'll make a Yahoo! Pipe for it.
- Bryce, Low in Sodium
Yolanda, the point of s/n is what you want it to be.
- Micah Wittman
Or Bryce if you could filter just that... yes.
- Louis Gray
I realized today, Louis that a large part of what I twitter is a response to someone. I looked at it on FF where I wasn't surrounded by tons of tweets.
- Sheryl
I agree with Micah. SN is whatever you make of it. Social Network. Friends. News river. ANything you want to make your SN
- Ken Camp
Bryce, Micah wrote a script to get rid of @replies
- Simon Wicks
Yeah, Sheryl and I will have twin nephews here shortly.
- Ken Camp
I'm just stating what I observe. If you or anyone want to remove posts/comments, you can. Actually, in recent times, I haven't noticed it much. And I know you've said you have your own reasons. Well, ok.
- Micah Wittman
were you hoping your wife had loaned 'em out?
- Sheryl
No. We were hoping you were coming our way.
- Louis Gray
:) All in good time. I need a reason to get down there...besides the twins :)
- Sheryl
Ninja would be really hard. The whole page would be black text on black background. And you'd die within minutes from the hidden shuriken.
- Steven Perez
I will sell my body to end up on someone's recommended list. I have no shame.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
My main goal is to make Josh Haley interject something... now
- Jim Hearts FF
I would like to say this: If you buy the OS I still don't think you should be forced to have their browser. Default browser should be possible to be changed to whatever you want
- Sheryl
My main goal is to remind people that I'm not a bunneh.
- Steven Perez
Bing commercials are just an effort to buy mindshare. Not an approach that MS has ever won with
- Ken Camp
Hahah, a Bing search for my last name turns up nothing but results for me, at least on the first page. My uncle, a teacher with his own website, doesn't even show up on the first page in Google any more either.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Simon, I've stayed up later than that fixing scripts based on comments you made :P
- Micah Wittman
Louis I think they could create an imange apple-touch-icon.png in a directory for each individual user and that directory is loaded for that user - would facilitate the problem. Although there may be an easier way of doing it this is what I quickly thought off the top of my head
- Nicholas James
Actually it wouldn't be hard since users are located at /user so they could just force the avatar name as apple-touch-icon.png and it would work.
- Nicholas James
I used to play a lot of warcraft 3 and starcraft...there were these incredibly pwny Korean players who spoke only in emotes and acronyms. "QQ GG NO RE KKTHXBAI" was the bane of my existence.

Crying, Good game, No really, k, thanks bye?
- Josh Haley
Right, 4am, time for sleep! It's been fun, night all!
- Simon Wicks
More like "haha you are crying, good game, no rematch, kkthnxbai"
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Yeah, I play WoW and "OMG QQ MOAR NOOB" is something we would frequently say to mock all the pwny lootwhoring mages (who only have to roll their face across the keyboard to play their character) when they'd start whining about the game being unfair.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Yeah, I play WoW too, when I have time. My wife and I courted in WoW back in college, before she had grad school and I had work.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Not good for the grinding, though. We had both re-rolled when Burning Crusade launched and our guildies were like "umm why are you guys still lvl16??!"
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Let my kids all leave for college first. That's about 17 more years
- Josh Haley
lol I rerolled when BC dropped because I wanted a shammy (Alliance FTW!) and so when I finally went back to my main, everyone was like "OMG SO FAR BEHIND YOU ARE" and I was mocked mercilessly.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
There is an awesome new port of Space Invaders on the 360
- Neal Jansons
from IM
You're allie?! /me spits FOR THE HORDE!
- Neal Jansons
from IM
My guild formed up on both Ally and Horde, so we have toons on both sides. Though my #1 main is Ally. I had a FigurePrint made of her and everything. because I'm sad like that. :)
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
LOL That's funny. I didn't go with my roomies for release of BC because I preordered online, but for Wrath I went and we did something similar at the GameStop we went to. :)
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Sorry Michael. I hear of many 360s dying. Never owned one, and this info doesn;t help me be swayed to get one. What do you think the issue is?
- Josh Haley
Ouch Mike...the DVD drive on our's died a while back and we had to get a new one. We use it for gaming, netflix, and media, so being without it was a big hit.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
ah. and of course, Alex is nowhere to be found after the first 10 minutes or so, right? PSSSHAW
- Josh Haley
It spins up for a bit then doesn't show anything as there?
- Neal Jansons
from IM
My 2 cents, I think gaming should stay on it's own side of the entertainment fence. Movie streaming, etc should be other hardware. Thats just me
- Josh Haley
Ah, our's would spin up then not see it. No red lights of death. If you have the red rings it is still covered under warranty most likely, that issue is well-known.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Micah, you are a long-time listener and supporter. Many thanks
- Josh Haley
Seriously, you and Johnny have commitment, and it's not lost on all the ff ol' timers here. And now I'm gushing, but you deserve that much =)
- Micah Wittman
Receipt or registration from when you got it, some sort of proof of purchase, I believe. I haven't dealt with them myself, but my best friend had to do it and he said it was relatively painless.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Johnny uses up his Saturday mornings for this. I don;t know how he does it
- Josh Haley
And I want a full accounting of how much interest have been banked based on that appreciation. Thank you.
- Micah Wittman
No Akiva tonight, so I'm capping this with Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad scene.
- Micah Wittman
Akiva and I had a party last night. Sorry we missed it!
- Rochelle
I think the likes (50k this week) are probably more important than the comments (100k this week), especially if you consider that the comment count includes all your imported stuff. But thanks for the congralations guys. :-)
