Just a geek living in the country and enjoying life. Enjoy programming and design.
I just found a new way to search. Downside it can require more initial effort. Upside more meaningful or exact results.
@dbounds Is it possible you could erase everything in my feed from the back-end. I need to get my cliqset feed nuked and can't find a way.
I need to apologize to everyone, especially if you have a private feed, while I was testing out Cliqset I fed my FF stream into it, creating a hole in the privacy. I forgot about it about a week or 2 ago, and then I've been offline all week. So I just wanted to make everyone aware, and let them know that I've stopped the feed and deleted it. Sorry.
:-0 - hermansji.:.
Yeah, I just found out, because several people alerted me to it earlier in the week, my first reaction was what, and then it was :-O - Jimminy
is this Cliqset http://cliqset.com/ ? - hermansji.:.
yes. - Jimminy
LOL, I think the "hole" is actually in the Friendfeed API :) - hermansji.:.
Yeah, but it's also me.FFAPI should ask for authorization for the feed. - Jimminy
Yes, but the authorizations should provide exceptions... everything back to Friendfeed - hermansji.:.

Taking a break from the internet, about a week or two. I'll catch you on the flip side.

Holy Fuck Samuel L. is in Ironman. How the fuck did I miss the very end of Ironman where he shows up all this time? Now I can't wait to see The Avengers.
Geekgasm, can't wait to see Thor or Captain America at this point either. - Jimminy
Also, a geek #FAIL for not knowing this sooner. :( - Jimminy
Is FF constipated for anyone else?
yeap - Marissa

The brewery was being falsely accused of trademark infringement, and was likely to go under due to the litigation costs, for the initial case and appeal cases. Fortunately, Monster backed off on the litigation recently. - Jimminy

Ok, looking for people who would use and data-extractor if they were giving one, for the memories. That would only work on your own feed, but would also pull comments for your posts. I'm looking for alot of I's because we may be able to petition for a compilation service where everyone's data can be recollected and stored.
*crickets* Noone wants their data back? - Jimminy
Isn't there a person who already wrote that kind of code. I remember it from when the hype was all about fb buying friendfeed. Probably from the original 'clonefeed' room. - Bicentennial (Franc)
As far as I know, alot of people were working on it but noone ever got anywhere with it, because of contextual reasons. You can't pull your own comments without pulling in other peoples feeds which ends up being quite monotonous and results in pulling the same data multiple times for every user. This pulls your feed and the comments associated with your post - Jimminy
I would. - Lo
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Look up there! Then post the link to whats above it, in your home feed or the list. #ARROWMEME

This is actually a beautiful theme for Chrome. http://ff.im/ajp3d - Jimminy
I'm blocked by that user, but have no idea why. I don't recognize them. - Cristo
Cristo, it's Vijay he changed his name and avatar, here is the post(shared), http://ff.im/ajKzn - Jimminy
Oh yea, Vjay doesn't like me. He even re-blocked me right away after I recreated my account. - Cristo
Wow, well it looks like Franc was wrong, this has no potential for meme-ality. If it did become a meme, it would just be pointing to arrow meme's most likely. - Jimminy
Lost Generation - http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarks... (huh? 'course it has potential.Just wait and see...) :) - Bicentennial (Franc)
Jimminy - it does have the potential to create a feedback loop, though. That might be cool. - Curtiss Grymala
doh! I shared the wrong link. this: http://friendfeed.com/ianf... ,, so what is ianf doing in my home feed? (the man has been away from ff for quite a while...) :P - Bicentennial (Franc)
Back to grabbing people's comments and being illegal and so. - Bicentennial (Franc)
Nope, I never grabbed the comments, I can it's part of the same stream, but I'm not doing that. - Jimminy
LOL, I'd be posting a link to my own post. https://friendfeed.com/itblogg... - Alex Scoble
Alex, that's slightly funny that you got your own post, but Akiva's comment is the true winner, because it's hilarious and he managed to get it at the top so it will always be shown. - Jimminy
J.: c'mon as if I cared if you grabbed me commentz. WOULD ANYBODY??? - Bicentennial (Franc)
Franc, Cristo. No one would know but still it's kind of illegal. - Jimminy
I'd know. And my people know too. - Cristo
Girl, you really got me now You got me so I cant sleep at night
heh. nice.. is this contemporary? - Bicentennial (Franc)
Franc, it depends on your definition, but yes. - Jimminy
if you consider the mid-1960s contemporary, sure. - Joe Silence is not dead
lol, I always think of contemporary as happening-right-now. - Bicentennial (Franc)
play the track and it's happening right now. - Joe Silence is not dead
Yeah, I consider it Adult-Contemporary, but The Kinks are always great. - Jimminy
Dog just threw up all over my bed hit two blankets and my sheets. They were just washed last week, jeez.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Look up there, all this nostalgia makes me want to save the place but noone is helping, so either their drunk on nostalgia, sleeping, or just don't give a damn. DYMK
Personally, I'd prefer to concentrate on posting new stuff and keeping the service current, not just rehashing the good times (not that there's anything wrong with that). - Mellissa Jane
Jimmi, your feed is not the same as mine, so your arrows don't make any sense. I can guess what you're referring to, but it's more funny to think about what is actually above you in my feed. http://friendfeed.com/pdxcabb... ;) - Cristo
LOL, Cristo. Mellissa, I'm pulling all of my posts now, currently don't have the images being pulled but it's a good start. I want to compile the service and save it but it's against the terms to compile the data elsewhere. - Jimminy
So far I've grabbed every post back to Sept, 08 for myself. - Jimminy
Sounds productive. Are you writing code to do this, or doing it by hand? - Cristo
I used the api. I'll post the finished html of my stream, goes back to June 16, 08. - Jimminy
Whatcha gonna do with it all? - Mellissa Jane
He's going to do what my mom does with all her digital photos... abso-fuckin-lutely nothing. :D Luckily, disk space is one of the easiest things to recycle. - Cristo
Well, it's possible to pull it with comments, and I was thinking about spitting it into a database, and letting everyone who wanted to do the same, possible re-build the service, and forget about Facebook. - Jimminy
Jimmi, I just want you to know, that if you reproduce ANY of my original comments, my legal team will be on your doorstep with cease-and-desist notices and legal depositions for full disclosure of the whereabouts of said intellectual property, along with demand for forfeiture of said intellectual property. Don't copy my shit man. :P - Cristo
LOL, dammit, that is the 2nd biggest issue with doing this, it would only be the ones on my feed. - Jimminy
What!? can't reproduce comments? .. why would you mind backing up then?. ...On a separate note: Jimminy, I think that your arrows are just waiting to turn into a meme :) - Bicentennial (Franc)
Franc right now the arrows are pointing at a bike http://ff.im/afb0t - Jimminy
Franc, I can back up the comments, just not legally, and I wanted to set up a database for compositing the data, but that's out of the question as well. - Jimminy
Yay, Twitter is fixed, but it's fucking Friendfeed. :(

Here is what my stream looks like from beginning to end(6/16/08-10/21/09), without the media.
I've even seen a little Pownce. - Jimminy
Probably going to have my API rights band doing what I'm doing.
However, I think we can preserve all of the data for those that wish to do so. - Jimminy
I just made 50 calls to the API and sucked in all my post titles and dates since November 8, 2008. There may be hope for extraction if anyone wants to work on retreival. - Jimminy
And now I'm off to see what rights we have to our data. Update: Apparently if there was a service that would pull your data stream and recompile it with others feeds, that service would be in trouble, that makes me sad. I was thinking about letting the tool pull out your feed including your feeds comments, and then as more people do this adding links back to them, so on and so forth. Sad to see I can't do this. - Jimminy
Is anyone doing archival? I was thinking about taking the greatest posts and putting them somewhere more stable at this point? Maybe a tumblr or Posterous?
That way we can at least cherish the good times. - Jimminy
Dammit, I need to stop looking into this Robert Scoble character, I'm crying now, because somehow I managed to find a post I don't think I wanted to read, it's sad.
I liken it to watching media coverage of [insert over-hyped media darling here, like Lyndsey Lohan]. There's not a lot of substance, but somehow it's fascinating. Just remember, there's a fine line between laughing and crying. - Shea from BuddyFeed
Shea, actually it was his blog post about his and Alex's mother, it's sad. - Jimminy
oh, didn't read that one yet. maybe I'll wait 'til tomorrow if it's that upsetting. - Shea from BuddyFeed
It's from 06, I was looking for something else, and Google keeps shoving stuff like that in my face. - Jimminy
:((((((((( - Mo Kargas
Jimminy, we are all human. Important reminder. (well, except for Mo, but as a robot he's more human than many ;) - Micah Wittman
Yep, I just remembered I have irrational fears of large groups of people and approaching people in person. I've thrown up 3 times and nearly shat myself from the stress, ended up bailing. Gah.
I kinda get like that at parties. Not quite that bad. But it does bring back every bad memory of playground bullies and junior high popularity contests. I hope you're able to get over it. It is actually hindering to one's work and social life. :( - Spidra Webster
I'm fine at parties after a beer or two, but since I'm underage that's impossible to get, and I'm fine after I get a job, because people approach you, but it was a job fair. I stood outside the door for 20 minutes shaking and had to walk away. Also, I'm fine in large groups if I have a few friends. - Jimminy
Yeah, well...a job fair is not a fun situation so I can see that. On the other hand, you should tell yourself that you probably won't ever see 95% of those people ever again so where's the pressure coming from? Alcohol can be a good tool to get over the inhibition but it will eventually become a crutch. I use it just to demonstrate to myself that my fears are pretty ridiculous. The... more... - Spidra Webster
Great suggestions Spidra, the pressure is I don't' like be around strangers that I have no clue of their motives. I'm going to sleep to help de-stress, sadly it doesn't help with the job aspect. - Jimminy
Well, we don't know anyone's motives but our own when it comes down to it. The best we can do is try to figure out what someone is likely thinking and then follow our gut instinct. We're all going to get hurt at some point/s in our life. All we can do is do our best to protect ourselves without actually harming ourselves. There's a point at which the protection of social anxiety is counter-productive. You have to decide when that point has been reached. Have a good nap! - Spidra Webster
i can certainly relate to the statement in the first post. over time we develop our methods of coping constructively. it's not much fun getting there, but we can get there. - Joe Silence is not dead
I give up, it's futile to resist. I can't do it. I'm an empty box with nothing to say. *sigh*

I can't sell myself and I feel the need for a resume, but I could literally put it on an index card. *sigh* - Jimminy

Wow Akiva, 72pt Comic Sans on an index card, what would that fit... 'ME'.. =P - Travis Koger
I am here to hinder^H^H^H^H^Help. - Akiva Moskovitz
Well it's definitely a better idea than I've had. Thanks for the help, Akiva. - Jimminy
Maybe you could just have 'ubergeek' on the front and 'REALLY' on the back. - Travis Koger
Oooh, or just to help prospective bosses you could just have the URL of a Google Search for your name that would return everything you have done on sites like FF or Twitter etc. Might be just what they were looking for, and if not, would at least save them time in striking you off their list ;) - Travis Koger
Actually, I dont' feel like putting any of my tech background down, it feels like a waste of time when I know any job I apply for in this area, they bear no relevance, and would likely just confuse the people. - Jimminy
Have you thought about creating a LinkedIn profile and using their auto-generated resumes as a jumping-off point? - Curtiss Grymala
