Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben

Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk

Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah Wittman

0.89 (17818/19913) (Somebody better make a cool ass graph of all this data!) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles

1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah Wittman

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah Wittman

0.9009 (6055/6721) - Jason Huebel

OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF? - Jason Huebel

I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah Wittman

So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is. - Jason Huebel

Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too. - Jason Huebel

383/372 - ashish

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah Wittman

Thanks, ashish. - Micah Wittman

wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b

chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah Wittman

.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Alex Scoble

Thanks, Bren. - Micah Wittman

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah Wittman

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren, Not Grinchy

Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah Wittman

true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren, Not Grinchy

Amused. - Cristo

I kind of wish I was, just so I could see what all the hype is about. - Curtiss Grymala

MS sent her a party kit in the mail. - Cristo

Where? Is she doing it alone or with friends? - directeur

It's at our loft in SF. Our place is pretty much decked out with Macintosh hardware too. :P - Cristo

Actually, I wish I could be there. I LOVE Win 7. - Helen Sventitsky

Cristo is joining her of course, just so he can hate on it. - Jimminy

I HATE windows to be honnest. - directeur

Helen, nobody who likes Windows 7 is allowed to go. :) - Cristo

What's in the kit? - Rodfather

directeur, my wife works for Microsoft. I really only am allowed to say that about once a month without getting divorced. - Cristo

The kit is pretty funny. I haven't examined it closely, but it has streamers in those primary windows colors, and it has a Ballmer autographed copy of Windows 7 that she's going to auction off. - Cristo

Cristo, poor you! You can still say it here, right? :) - directeur

As long as I delete the thread before she reads it. - Cristo

Rod, here is some specs on the package, http://www.dailyhaggis.com/2009... - Jimminy

It's pretty funny that the company is encouraging employees to have these Tupperware like parties. - Cristo

Shit I want one - Rodfather

Who is your wife here on friendFeed??? I WILL tell her that I HATE Windows every single day (on your behalf) —And don't tell me it's Alex! - directeur

It's Alex. - Cristo

Why do you think they bicker so much? - Jimminy

I doubt anyone is going to be talking about Windows 7 much given who she's invited. - Cristo

Oh, and apparently she's going to a girl's Durian party tonight. Pass on that for me. - Cristo

I'm amazed that this campaign hasn't been pulled. Then again, they were dense enough to run it in the first place, why should they notice early reactions? (and then the thought that really scares me: maybe there are actual people in the world who are going to have an earnest and enthusiastic windows 7 party with no irony whatsoever) - Jason Wehmhoener

i'm jealous that you live in SF - T. Brent, technopeasant

Jason, I think the E and the G will help. ;) - Cristo

You have a wife? Pics or it didn't happen. - Rochelle

T. Brent, we are still allowing more in for a short period. - Cristo

Oh, they put that in the box? Alright then, Windows 7 party woohoo! - Jason Wehmhoener

Hi Rochelle. Damn, she found my thread. - Cristo

lol I wouldn't know what to do with my hands - T. Brent, technopeasant

T. Brent, ???? - Cristo

I am amused. - Bruce Lewis

Here's something else amusing, which my wife loves. When I was down at my Dad's house for my birthday, my stepmom said they had planned a Segway tour on the beach. - Cristo

ha! - Jason Wehmhoener

Wife's response, "Ohhhh, that would be so awesome! Complete with photos on FriendFeed." - Cristo

Does she have an account here? - Rochelle

Rochelle, absolutely not. I forbid it. I run a tight household, not like that Akiva slacker. - Cristo

Oh, I just got a DM from her. I guess she made an account and didn't tell you? - Rochelle

Cristo, can you be this amusing more often? I'm liking it. - Bruce Lewis

Rochelle, she's cooking me dinner, so I'm pretty sure she didn't DM you. - Cristo

I mean earlier. - Rochelle

What did she DM you about, Rochelle? - Cristo

My wife thinks FriendFeed is a tool of the Devil. She basically told Bret as much. :) - Cristo

Wow... talk about a mixed marriage (wait, is she imaginary?) - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Bruce, I will try to be more amusing. Actually, I usually try, I just fail miserably. - Cristo

About the Windows 7 party! I'm invited! - Rochelle

Mini, funny thing is, I used to work at Microsoft when I met her. - Cristo

Rochelle, yeah. Might as well make it a Gnomedex / Windows 7 / SXSW party - Cristo

expatriate? - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

SXSW? I'm not going to TX! - Rochelle

there's no bad excuse for a party :P - Mike Chelen

@Cristo I used to work in comedy, with pro comics (me? semi-pro). I think you're often hilarious. - T. Brent, technopeasant

Brent, lots of people like Cristo's wit. But I'm more into little stories like this post and the segway story. He's changing his style to please me, so don't stop him! - Bruce Lewis

*senses something that confuses and backs politely away* ;) - T. Brent, technopeasant

Anyone read those ChildLife books? I loved them as a kid. I'd read encyclopedias, too, but not back-to-back. When I ran out of my books, I'd find my mother's, no matter where she hid them.

There are four parts to this video. One of the most interesting developers and ideas for the RealTimeWeb that I've heard yet. I wish FriendFeed has this search engine's capabilities. - Robert Scoble

Okay, you've got me hooked, RS. Gimme more, please, Sir! - James D Kirk

fascinating concept "Fluid Info": "database with a heart of a wiki" ... love his accent! Interesting to give user so much control w/o schemas, permissions, etc. Removes all the structure, limitations....wow - Susan Beebe

ok where's part 2 at? - Susan Beebe

Susan: Uploads from Spain are slow. - Robert Scoble

Faster than China or slower? - David Feng from IM

Sorry - wrong comment... I mean, commented to wrong person... - David Feng from IM

Gotcha! Time for some coffee although that hot chocolate does sound better :) - Susan Beebe

David: I think uploads in China were faster. But I think the hotel wifi sucks. Can't blame that on an entire country. :-) - Robert Scoble

Thanks Robert! And thanks for watching.... I'm a bit of a gasbag. - Terry Jones

Terry your ideas are amazing... ripping away the layers of db constraints to open up an evolutionary platform for information mining / sharing is simply AWESOME! My db structured brain is having a tough time computing the lack of structures, but my intuition tells me this is right for the future....neat data model design concept for sure! - Susan Beebe

Hi Susan. Thanks :-) BTW, there are permissions. You can have, e.g., a susan/rating attribute that you're putting onto things, and it's yours - no one else can detect/read/write/delete it unless you let them. OTOH, the underlying database objects have no owner. There are no permissions at that level. So you can put a rating (or anything else) onto any object (that you can find). No-one can stop you. So we're fully writable like a wiki, but with a permissions structure within the object (unlike a wiki). - Terry Jones

Ooooh got it!!! Ok so you're building a core data model (protected) with objects everywhere (open design) which are available to users who are presented with a highly customizable user profile (detect/read/write/delete ) that can call / manipulate said objects to create the user's *own* data set (which has multiple layers of permissions / attributes / tags? to control sharing, reporting and distribution of data) = fabulous! when can I have it? :) - Susan Beebe

Terry - is this something like entity/attribute/value? I did something like that a few years ago... but found it hard to do searching - equality in my thing was fine, but greater than, less than etc (ie: with a date range) were a bit harder. How have you overcome this? - Brad

@Susan. Yes, that sounds more or less right. Yes, your own data is on the objects, as it that of anyone else who wants to put something there. it's all combinable, searchable as you like. Plus you can organize multiply, simultaneously, and arbitrarily (simply by adding more tags to objs & searching). We'll do an alpha release in early 2009. - Terry Jones

@Brad. Dates are stored both numerically and textually. What gets searched on depends on the query. terry/seen > "Jan 22, 2007" is numeric, terry/seen ~ "Monday" is textual, etc. The query language is dead simple. It took me a lot of thinking to reduce everything to very very simple primitive operations and an easily parallelizable query language. - Terry Jones

BTW, there are 3 more parts to the video coming up... :-) - Terry Jones

Part II is now up: http://www.kyte.tv/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Impressive demo and ideas. I was thinking about similar lines last week using CouchDB (a schemaless document database by Damian Katz). Also the views in FluidDB sound like views in CouchDB. I very much like the idea of sharing data and being able to annotate or enhance the original(!) data. This is Open Data on steroids. - Berry Groenendijk

Mindnumbing stuff. - Thomas Bøhm

@Berry Hi. I'm reasonably familiar with CouchDB. It's a very different animal. CouchDB is very focused on documents, and lays out complete documents (serialized JSON strings actually, plus BLOBs) efficiently on disk. FluidDB is not focused on anything :-) And its storage is not done by object, but is instead by attribute (or tag if you like). CouchDB used to not have permissions, but I think that's changing/ed. About views yes, agreed. I hope that makes it clearer. It takes a while to get. - Terry Jones

Part #3 is now up http://bit.ly/UteO - Terry Jones

Terry I think I am slowly getting my head around FluidDB. There is still one big problem. The way people tag things. Some people tag things with a x,y coordinates, others with a longitude and latitude, etc. You need consistent tag names (or metadata field names or whatever) to be able to effectively search data. Does FluidDB help you with this in any way? - Berry Groenendijk

And part #4 http://www.kyte.tv/ch... - Terry Jones

Hi Berry. No, there's no help, and nor do I think there should be. Conventions evolve. They become consistent to the degree that it's important they are consistent. If it doesn't matter that you write color and I write colour, then it's no big deal. But if I write S.O.S. and you write S.O.B., it could be very important! - Terry Jones

There's a lot of evolutionary biology thinking behind FluidDB. Attributes will (implicitly) have fitness. Things that are useful will flourish, become trusted, be heavily used, and their owners will similarly gain. Other stuff will not. This gets at the question of spam too. What's spam? But that's another subject - also very important if you're going to build an information architecture that can survive its own success. - Terry Jones

Terry I like the way you think about these things. Just viewed part #4 of the interview. I am looking forward to the alpha release. - Berry Groenendijk

Eager to see Alpha product too! send me invite susan.beebe {at} gmail dot com - thanks! This is really inspiring / disruptive technology!! love it! makes my brain hurt in a GOOD way (i.e. un-doing all the overly burdensome architecture that was imprisoning my data!) :-) Terry is one smart cookie!! - Susan Beebe

How will you expire certain attributes? Similar to domain name management today, will you have leases on groups (or specific) attributes? This seems to be the way that you're going with the revenue model, and would certainly make sense after you've reached enough critical mass. When will you start allowing people to start reserving namespaces/attributes? - Davison

very neat project - mikehedge

@Terry - thanks. I built my thing on a standard relational db - Firebird, but everything was stored as text, so it was a bit difficult... :) So... how do you go about implementing "relationships"? ie: I have a video store, with all these videos, and this person rents these vids, so I'd like to send them an email when there's a new release in the genre that they've hired previously? Would love to talk to you more about this. Thanks! - Brad

@SusanBeebe - you know, that's exactly right! undoing the architecture! yes, sort of kinda..... :) and freeing one'self from the confines of relational theory... but see me other comment to Terry re relationships. Happy Days! :) - Brad

@Terry - sorry I can't stop thinking about this. In my thing, I maintained another table that aggregated all the various uses of a "thing". So at a glance, I could tell what the most used credit card was for purchases.... which state had the most sales etc.... this was a way to help the business owner make sense of all the data, and plan for the future. ie: Diners Club had like 2% of sales, yet attracted the highest fees - so that tells me get rid of Diners Club as a payment method? That sort of thing..... - Brad

@Terry - and all - I had better stop here - I could keep typing all night about this, and then miss the new year! :) So happy new year to everyone. And special thanks to Robert for bringing you to our attention. - Brad

Hi @Brad. Sorry for my slow replies - I don't get any notification of new comments here. I don't really use friendfeed (yet). I'm not sure exactly what @Susan had in mind with her "undoing the arch" comment, but that certainly captures the flavor. Re relationships, there is NO support for them. It's not a relational model. There's just a (conceptually) very simple architecture and laughably simple query language. You get to do analysis on your own CPU :-) Lots of tradeoffs there, of course. - Terry Jones

The Kyte videos seem to be dead. Am I just stupid or did they get deleted? - Steven Walling

The video still works for me. - Terry Jones

Just had it again, and it's been persistent for at least a couple of weeks. Why no attention from the FriendFeed staff? - Voyagerfan5761

Did you force the GReader refresh in FF? When did you share the items in GReader? When were the items posted in GReader? The staff might need more info and I wouldn't complain, I'm sure they are very busy chaps. :-) Generally things coming into FF slowly is down to that particular service, e.g. Digg is slow and sometime Twitter is. I find my GReader stuff comes into FF hours. even a day after I share them, so I've started forcing the refresh manually. - Kol Tregaskes

I haven't had any slow imports with Reader, but Flickr is always about a day or two slow for me. There are probably way too many factors to be able to "blame" someone. - Mitch

@Kol: I forced the refresh, and the items were posted in Reader minutes before the import. - Voyagerfan5761

Same problem again a minute or so ago. - Voyagerfan5761

This seems to be happening on manual refreshes only. But it's still happening. - Voyagerfan5761

It just happened to me with an auto-refresh. Guess it's not constrained. How is this not even acknowledged by the devs? - Voyagerfan5761

And again this evening. Seems to happen on the first import, manual or automatic, of a given period of n hours where 2<n<20. - Voyagerfan5761 from fftogo

Bump. Again. This is still happening, six months later, with no acknowledgement whatsoever from FriendFeed's employees. Am I the only one experiencing this or something? - Voyagerfan5761

Is it dependent on the published date/time of the item rather than the shared date/time? - Mitch

No, items from GReader are usually imported with the timestamp set to when FriendFeed picked them up. Items from as long ago as a month still should show up as the date they were picked up. - Voyagerfan5761 from email

Did you go out at Mavericks? I hear that place legendary, and deadly! - dthree

How tall is that board? Or are you under 4 foot tall? :) - Patrick Jordan

at least Robert looks like a fish - Thomas Power

nice board Robert - Miguel Rodriguez

Tibor: it will only work properly if you're sending from on of the email addresses that you have on file and verified in your FF account. Double check and make sure you it was the correct address and that the same address shows as 'verified' in FF. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Robert, try sending a voice memo to share@ from your new iPhone. The quality is amazing and it attaches in FriendFeed, just like photos. I'm told soon they'll stream straight from here as well. - Jesse Stay

Ha, Scoble doing Mavericks, um hum! - JimmyJet

Appears to be a longboard, has a wood laminate look. - JimmyJet

Tina: Thanks, but i did check that. Used two verified addresses of mine, none of them worked. Strange. - Tibor Holoda

Cool, don't give up, surf every day you can. You will love it! - Eduardo Sasso

That's a nice ride! And lol @ thinking any surfer would take a newbie to Maverick's. I doubt I could even swim out to the break at Maverick's, let alone ride any waves, but scoble's more badass than I. - Thursday Lo :)

Nice! I just came back from my first lesson in Pacifica, loved it! - Yousef

Nice going! Open invite next time you're in Santa Cruz. We have a geek "dawn patrol" that goes every Friday morning before work. - Peter

The board is a 9'4' Jeff Hakman, Hawaiian Pro Design, it is a wood veneer, but real wood none the less. It is a Surftech epoxy wood series. Check it out - http://www.surftech.com/tech... - I took Robert out to the Half Moon Bay Jetty, it was supposed to be small but a great south swell hit at about 6pm. I tell the whole story here http://www.lukek.ca/?p=348 - Luke Kilpatrick

Peter: I would love to join the geek dawn patrol in SC, I try and surf SC once a week. Mind sending me a dm with details? I will do my best to bring Robert as well. - Luke Kilpatrick

I think that it is a Hakman board and a sweet one at that. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

Well I'll be darned, I thought from the pic it was a classic board. Thanks for the link and info Luke. - jcunwired

Rumor is (read it on TMZ) that the board in the pic is a short board. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

Mathew: My mistake, the name is usually so covered with wax that I misspell it. I love this board and it seems to be the one in the photo of every person I take surfing with me, I think I have about 6 different people in the same pose as Robert with that board. - Luke Kilpatrick

Nice board, wetsuit and booties Robert - but Luke says you have a big stick, whats the connection? - Geer

awesome board - Bren, Not Grinchy

Geer: Surfing has its own language, that has never really been fully captured by the mainstream. A stick is simply a surfboard, a big stick is a long board (aka a board over 9ft). A common phrase is "wax up the stick and go catch some swell" which to many non-surfers wouldn't mean much but to a surfer its the best part of the day. - Luke Kilpatrick

Luke: you mean surfing like in these pics? http://picasaweb.google.com/giseke... - Geer

Geer: Sorry, didn't look too closely at your profile, Awesome waves! The ones at the Princeton Jetty last night were close to head high and closing out hard, those look just perfect overhead with nice offshores. Jealous! Send some of that swell, water and winds to CA please. @surfergrrrl, one of my best surfing buddies is goofy foot and insanely jealous that you NZ guys have Raglan. There isn't a left point break here of any quality for hundreds of miles. Santa Cruz is land of the right. - Luke Kilpatrick

No comments from your email server yet. Are you sure it follows you on FF? Or maybe it's just temporarily offline. Try sending a DM. - Tapio Kulmala

I'm pretty sure my mail server has me blocked and can't even see this message anyways. One of the reasons I hate it! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

You didn't start your comment with EHLO. It's confused. *wink* - Ken Kennedy

Your email was probably marked as spam - Jorge Escobar

No, nothing that simple. Mail works fine. POP is having issues, even though the port is open on both the box and in the firewall. Domino is configured to listen on the pop port but the server says nothing is listening on the pop port. Yet, pop is still working on the old mail server and since the messages replicate between server 1 and server 2 pop mail is available, just in an undesireable hacky fashion. I guess hacky is better than nothing, though... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Hmmm, Domino; I think that says it all ;-) - Kenton

Yes, well, between Domino, Oracle, and Tomcat, my job entails dealing with a lot of technology that in all rights I should never be allowed to touch. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I once read about something similar. Had nothing to do with email. If the connection is idle for a long period (or some connection tables in the firewall get full), the firewall might throw it away. The client still thinks the connection is ok. When the client tries to use the connection the firewall just drops those packets without even sending back an "ICMP destination unreachable". It will take a long time before the client finally admits that the connection is broken. - Tapio Kulmala

If this were an existing connection, I could see that. But it's not: we just moved our mail from server2 to server 1 last week. We're setting up the new connection in someone's pop3 client and the server is refusing the connection altogether. I'm pretty sure bouncing Domino will address it, but we can only do that during certain hours of the day to meet our SLAs with clients. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Try telnet from your Domino server to the pop-port. That could give you some more info. - Tapio Kulmala

Telnet and ping are both locked down for security reasons. I shelled into the box and ran a localhost nmap and it says nothing is listening on the port in question. Honestly, I don't know that Boss bounced Domino after changing some of the settings in the server doc when we switched everything over, so that might be it. Or not.... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Who me? Nope. But we have 2 people who work offsite who opt to use POP (specifically, they have Gmail pulling the POP which saves them disk space down the road). - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

"At age 36, I found myself in a medium security prison serving 3-5 years for destruction of government property and public intoxication. This was stiff punishment for drunkenly defecating in a mailbox but as the judge pointed out, this was my third conviction for the exact same crime. I obviously had an alcohol problem and a deep and intense disrespect for the postal system...." - Far
