I used to be able to solve a Rubik's cube. #SaturdayFF
me too. with a hammer. - Joe The Sausage
I've never. Maybe solving one should go on my bucket list. - Lnorigb from FFHound!
I've heard the stickers peel off pretty easy. - caj needs a haircut
I give credit to this book: http://www.amazon.com/Simple-... - Tidy Botts
I did, once. 1981. Took me like 3 weeks. Haven't tried it since :) - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Never could do it. My Grandad Dave did it a couple of times, then he got the "how to solve the cube" book and was able to impress us with his speed at solving it. However, we also got a cheapo version that had symbols from playing cards on them. Completing that cube with the book formulae tended to leave many of the symbols pointing the wrong way. I don't think we ever solved that one. - Slippy
I beat it with the sticker peeling method. :D I am not as awesome as LB. - Lix
I learnt to solve it pretty mechanically by memorising a set of moves to go from one situation to another. It's definitely not the fastest way to solve the cube. But it does solve it each time :) - Hasitha
Hasitha, that's how I learned to do it. I'm tempted to pick up a book and learning to do it again. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
My first "solution" was the sticker peeling. The second was the screwdriver method — pry it apart and reassemble. That was far more enjoyable because I got to learn the mechanics of what made the cube work. I've never solved it the proper way. :( - Amit Patel
I've solved it legitimately, but it took me a lot longer than those people on That's Incredible. - Adam
I keep several around. I can solve one legitimately. I figured it out after just sitting down and focusing only on solving it, a few years ago. It ends up resulting in 3-4 sets of movements. I can never remember what the final steps are so often I get stuck and have to mess it up again, in hopes of changing the corner positions, and re-solve. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

The first sip of coffee I promptly spat out when I was 5 years old. I didn't understand how my Mom could drink such a foul beverage. I took up coffee drinking as a teenager as part of an end scene in all-night mosh/raves/parties. My cups were filled with more sugar and cream than coffee, I think. As I got older, I used less cream and sugar....
and drank more coffee. After I started drinking more specialty coffee, it became increasingly more difficult to drink shite coffee. When I was an undergrad, I worked as a barista and that changed everything about how I viewed coffee. It became less of a beverage and more of an important part of my life. Hence my typical user name, taoofcoffee. I appreciate a good cup of coffee or espresso like some can appreciate a fine wine or cigar. - Jenny R
There was a time in my life when I was given medical advice to stop drinking coffee and I just couldn't give it up. I can't imagine not having that magical brew as part of my daily life. :) #SaturdayFF - Jenny R
Amen. - Vicarbott
Preach, sister! - caj needs a haircut
My grandma gave me coffee in a sippy cup. I've been drinking it ever since. - Marissa
I love that, Marissa. :) - Jenny R from Android
I was hooked on the stuff by a very cute friend whom I fell in love with. She since quit. I still both live on it and resent it. I razz her about it every time I see her. - Jason P
@jason: I also started drinking coffee because of my girlfriend. She had since stopped drinking as well, and I still continue to this day... - Hasitha
Love seems like a beautiful introduction to coffee. :) - Jenny R from Android

FriendFeed was acquired by Facebook on August 10, 2009. So it's been just over 2 years.
I remember it like it was yesterday .... - Laura Norvig
Boy, did Facebook waste that acquisition. - Spidra Webster
Friendfeed rocks :] - Cev
Kevin pointed out a while back that the halfway point for FriendFeed's existence was back in January (http://friendfeed.com/kfury...). - Stephen Mack
Yup. Friendfeed has lived longer as a Facebook acquisition than it did on its own. - Kevin Fox
Yes, I recall Kevin's post. - Louis Gray
Ah, I see, sorry. You were making a different point. Happy second birthday, FFFB. - Stephen Mack from iPhone
Wow. It does not seem like it could have possibly been that long ago. - Curdy G
Long live The FriendFeed! - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Has anything happened to FF (either backend, frontend or policy changes) since FB acquired it? - Nicholas Kreidberg
mmmhhhhmmmm interesting: http://liten.be//dABsu - sofarsoShaw BAZINGA!
Spidra, I'm not sure they wasted it, think of what Facebook was like two years ago. - Kenton
I joined just before it happened. I was blown away (still am) but how close being on friendfeed brings you to the happenings in Silicon Valley and such. - Brent
I just find that the number of comments per a given post (with an exception of rare ones like this one) has drastically dropped though :( - Hasitha
Remember the day very well. Wow, 2 years though. Still here and kicking. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
2 years....how time flies. Some of us are still here. - WoH: Minding her Steves
i'll trade number of posts for QUALITY of posts ANY DAMNED DAY! (lookin' at you, G+!) - Joe The Sausage
Friar Will  (:^)
Hello (hello, hello) . . . Is there anybody out there????
No, we're all over at Google+ - I like big Botts
Define "all" :P - <3Heather<3
++ - C2.E0 from iPhone
I'm not sure where I am. - Mark J from Android
Just nod if you can here me, is there anyone at home? - SteVe C
Can you hear me? - Janet-The Bottley Crue from BuddyFeed
Okay. I was just checking. And quoting from my favorite Pink Floyd song. - Friar Will (:^)
Well, in that case, rest assured that I've been comfortably numb for several years now... - Mark J
*waves* - Tidy Botts
I'm here! - Hasitha
Me too. I check here more often then G+, but it's muscles memory - C2.E0 from iPhone
MarkJ - I've been wanting to be comfortably numb. . . And hello to the rest of you fine folk! - Friar Will (:^)
yes, am here... - Solveigh Calderin
Hasitha
Weird... how is that I don't see any Twitter posts of mine making their way into FF? Also, when I tried to see how many of my Twitter friends are on here using the "Browse/edit friends", it gave me an error. Any ideas?
Anyone else having the same problem? - Hasitha

Hasitha and caj subscribed to my FriendFeed on July 11. So FriendFeed is not quite pining for the fjords just yet.
:) - Hasitha
I just came back a few days ago to see how my account is doing. Almost everyone had left, and my stream was full of non-English posts. It was weird. So I did some spring cleaning on my Followers list, and added a bunch of new people I found interesting. :) - Hasitha
Hasitha
Logged in to FriendFeed yesterday to find almost my whole stream cluttered with non-english posts. o_O
Just added a whole bunch of interesting people last night.... and now things look a LOT better. I guess the people who I was following a few months back decided to leave. - Hasitha
Hasitha
Wait. Fox News thinks IPv6 means "six-digit IP addresses"??? http://www.foxnews.com/scitech...
Man, that article is full of inaccuracies. IPv4=4-digit IP's? And while they aren't backward (or forward) compatible, the capability is there to run on over the other. - Kenton
@Kenton: Yeah.. I choked on my coffee when I got to that part - Hasitha
Hasitha
Ok fine. Wanna know why I'm a vegetarian? It's because I plan to eat all the plants I can eat before they evolve and start eating us. Happy?
Keep an eye on those carnivorous plants! - Morton Fox
Exactly! - Hasitha

Umm... I'm starting to see updates on Facebook from people I've sent friend requests to, but haven't yet added me back.
I think FB does that when the other user's settings make their status updates public. - S of 2C
Aaaah... got it. I was starting to get worried for a second there :) - Hasitha

No, I watched it all, I just forgot to check in until after it was over. - Jandy
oh, hey have you starting the shows 3 minutes apart - Michael W. May
That's a nice site. Just got an account myself. Too bad I can't check in for shows I've already watched :( - Hasitha

Having fun playing with Android on my laptop via Virtualbox:)
Using Android on a big screen feels pretty good. Great to read ebooks and news articles. - Hasitha from Android

This is for the movie, right? - Alejandro
Yeah... It had me going for a while though :) - Hasitha
Which movie? - Vezquex
It's great how they do these ads on TV as well. You see all these "WTF viral video campaigns" on youtube, but typically not on traditional media. - Hasitha

Postbox is a great email client, but it will be going paid soon. I think I'll go back to Windows Live Mail, because it was a great product and still is. But I'd like to get suggestions for other desktop mail clients I could try. And yes, I already know about Thunderbird. Please sound off on your favorite email clients.

How about Thunderbird? - Craig Deakin
Believe it or not I use MS Outlook - I connect to an exchange server so its the easiest but I use the Outlook Web Access client more than the desktop Outlook:) - Rob Cairns
I personally use Thunderbird... and love it - Hasitha
What's a desktop mail client? - Kevin Mohr
I heard that Inbox2 is all that. I'm still waiting for my invite. Postbox is cool. I have been a Eudora/Thunderbird guy for years. This week I started just emailing from the Gmail page...and I think I can get used to that. - Bryan R. Adams
Hi Bryan, we have been sending out invites steadily for the last two weeks. So yours should also be running in soon :-) Cheers, waseem at inbox2 dot com - Waseem Sadiq

Steve, same here. I think it's too early for them to go public. They need to start much simpler. - Jesse Stay
They put too many Developers in charge, IMO (and I'm a developer!) - Jesse Stay
