I WAS subscribed to Bret, but he went to a private feed? Either that or be blocked me for some reason. Edit, yep, blocked me. Don't know why, don't think I ever even commented on any of his posts :/

It looks like Bret's feed is now private. At least, that's what a quick test on his feed thru the API says (error 405 : Not Allowed)

Zack: 405 means method not allowed (IE you used a GET when you should have used a POST or vice-versa)

One important thing FriendFeed API doesn't seem to have on a very cursory fast read: location, location, location! Really it's too bad.
- Robert Scoble
Benjamin, I take that back, very cool, thank you!
- Robert Scoble
Thanks Dave checking it out. Great work Benjamin & team. Now to figure out how to use this to save many hours coding up similar stuff for my selfish project.

Geo location features sound awesome :)

I hope Atebits will do a FriendFeed client for the iPhone now!
- Ralf Rottmann
Agree with Ralf. We *need* a killer FriendFeed app for the iPhone!! Please?

Why are posts from weeks ago coming up now?
- Mark
Probably me discovering older posts and liking? Nope it wasn't me :)

Why are broadcast reëmission times on the site NOT written in the universal UTC time format, but in American-centric EDT-time zone one? At the very least you could have thought of including just the starting and ending times of it in UTC - we can do the rest of the math ourselves.

Thanks for your honest feedback. I wanted to get the post out first. Will add another time zone later!

And hey, Ian, at least Apollo 11 was a US mission...

You don't have to thank me, I should not have to write it at all. What's "Moon landing shown: 4:17:40 pm EDT" in CET/CEDT [currently GMT +0200] terms? 20:17 this evening, just 77 minutes away?
- ianf ⌘
Ian, I always appreciate feedback. Even if it's not that positive. And even if it's not that friendly. :-) Updated the post with CET timestamps. Hope this helps.
- Ralf Rottmann
It's interesting, Ralf that while you say that "you always appreciate feedback," you can not hold back expressing some disapproval of it because it may not have been as "friendly," as you apparently expect/ed. Also, knowing that I post this from FriendFeed, you never cared to reply straight to my direct time question here, but expected me to make a second trip to your eyeballs-counting...

@Ian: I initially responded via email (as you might easily grasp from the FriendFeed comments) because I was almost out for today. I recognized your criticism and added the CET times to the post simply because that way it might help other TNW readers, too. I did not mean to "drag you back" to what you are referring to as "eyeballs-counting" site. If you'd prefer not to visit our site,...

"Karl Szmolinsky, who raises a breed of rabbits called giant grays, shows Robert, an 8.5kg giant gray who is 74cm long and has ears 25.5cm long, in the backyard of his house in Eberswalde, Germany in 2006. Szmolinsky sold eight giant grays to a delegation from North Korea that wanted to raise the breed as a source of meat for the North Korean population. Szmolinsky said his rabbits reach a maximum weight of 10.5 kg (23.1lbs.)."

Andrew... you can hold a rabbit or cat of most any size that way without it hurting them. It's the way their skin is positioned. Think good sized lion cub and momma lion. Plus he is helping a little with his other hand.

Aw, thanks! That picture is still giving me the creeps.

I had a Flemish Giant as a teenager. His body extended from my crotch (carrying him with my hands slung under his butt) to my head (he rested his paws on my shoulders). He was huge, heavy and very sweet.

OK, I now know what my Halloween costume is... "on Friday at a hotel in Palo Alto, Calif., a pair of Bigfoot hunters say they will present what they contend is the most definitive proof yet of an animal that science says does not exist: DNA evidence and photographs of a dead specimen they say they found in a remote swath of woods in northern Georgia."

@John you HAVE to live blog or twitter - hey i've been working on this story for days since my daughter got on a bigfoot craze BEFORE the people up the road actually found him. Or a costume resemblance thereof. "RickMat" as they call him. http://searchingforbigfoot.com/
