He's just like me but controlling. We've been trying to convince her to break up with him for over a year because of how he treats her but she won't listen.
- Jimminy
By "talk" I meant "hit with a large stick."
- Jeremy
LOL I don't think he'll be bothering her anymore, he was sentenced yesterday to a year probation for manufacturing and distribiting. And he's moving out of state, so she's even more pissed off at this point, he's doing a fine job digging a hole for himself.
- Jimminy
If he defaults on the probation, he'll wish he could see ANY boobs for 3-5.
- Jeremy
I bid you all farewell please take the best of care in directing this ship, with what little control you have, and someday hopefully I will join you all as we seek our final port.
For a while, I'm not going to have time to be around.
- Jimminy
Jimminy, you have contributed to so much discussion here. We'll look forward to your return if you so choose :)

I look forward to seeing you return when you do, and hope that Friendfeed and I will both still be here when that happens. Enjoy your time away.

Thanks Jimminy, have you gained weight?

LOL @ (Outsanity) Ashish, no, but I haven't lost anymore either.
- Jimminy
Where'd you go? Ahh, caught up, self discovery and introspection excellent choice as librarian. I suspect that role will evolve with the growing deluge of digital data. You may be well poised to take up the reigns by starting your own digital collection of free ebooks cataloged a way that's easy for people to find. I tried doing this a while back with a squidoo lens:http://www.squidoo.com/e-BookL... but moved on.

I went to be with my Aunt while she was having surgery, crazy old bat was up and running around 2 days after the surgery, and they wanted her to take an 8 week leave because most patients don't even get out of bed for 4-6 weeks.

Last Holden twitter I saw he was bummed because he was using FF to do all his aggregation and he completely screwed up his Google reader deleting his FF account some how. Apparently he didn't entirely think through this account deleting thing. He also seems to be casting about on Twitter hoping for it to respond like FF and it isn't, which is what I found when I tried to give up on FF a couple weeks ago.
- Ed Millard
Yeah I saw some of those Tweets: they were so clearly fishing for replies
- sofarsoShawn
As far as I know, this is the only time he deleted his account. He talked about doing so for a while. His post on twitter, were mocking me, not fishing for responses. And he figured out all his reading stuff apparently.
- Marissa
Truth be told I had never heard of Holden until he deleted his account the first time, a bunch of people tried to talk him out of it and then made fun of all the drama he caused in doing so.
- Jimminy
Oh, weird. I was under the impression that you guys were friends offline before you guys got on FriendFeed. I always associate you with him.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Nope, we bonded after he and I fought Scoble at the end of July.
- Jimminy
@Marissa I wasn't referring to any of his tweets that actually addressed someone in particular, but rather the ones throwing out questions about how he should go about designing his break through twitter app & other disengaged tweets that's where the fishing for responses metaphor refers to. Although I wouldn't be able to recognize your twitter name, so maybe he was trying to engage you....teen drama =/
- sofarsoShawn
Shawn I don't think she likes you very well. :/
- Jimminy
"we bonded after he and I fought Scoble at the end of July. - Jimminy". Now I got it :)
- ashish
Ashish, it was further solidified by having the same birthday, which was granted by an early birthday present from Facebook on August 10th. BASTARDS
- Jimminy
Dammit why are people subscribing to Holdenpage, there is nothing new coming from that account.
"Great post, too bad you won't be back. I take a lot of the blame because I was really hard on you, on Friendfeed and off, as you know we didn't speak for a few days because of it. I feel as though I planted the bomb and waited for it to explode, and it did the other day. Best of wishes."
- Jimminy
It disturbs me that some people are so lazy that they ask other people to do their jobs for them. Bah.
I have an accountant asking me for a pay stub, that was never provided to me by my former employer, and the employer is closed thus no way for me to get that stub. Yet, I provided stubs on either side of that one along with my bank statement with the amount, it's freaken plug and chug math to determine all the withholding's. once you have the Gross amounts of the withholding and the Net amount I recieved, pisses me off I had to do the work.

"Consider, for a moment, a tale of two countries. Both have suffered a severe recession and lost jobs as a result — but not on the same scale. In Country A, employment has fallen more than 5 percent, and the unemployment rate has more than doubled. In Country B, employment has fallen only half a percent, and unemployment is only slightly higher than it was before the crisis. Don’t you think Country A might have something to learn from Country B?"
- Jimminy
from Bookmarklet
"This story isn’t hypothetical. Country A is the United States, where stocks are up, G.D.P. is rising, but the terrible employment situation just keeps getting worse. Country B is Germany, which took a hit to its G.D.P. when world trade collapsed, but has been remarkably successful at avoiding mass job losses. Germany’s jobs miracle hasn’t received much attention in this country — but...

"...And that’s what the Germans have done. Germany came into the Great Recession with strong employment protection legislation. This has been supplemented with a “short-time work scheme,” which provides subsidies to employers who reduce workers’ hours rather than laying them off. These measures didn’t prevent a nasty recession, but Germany got through the recession with remarkably few job losses."

New Idea, involving lots of z-index, iframes, and AJAX. Tabbed browsing in a browser window. Redundant and useless, but just sounds fun to work on.
Hey, if Google thinks they can build an OS around a browser (worked for MS, didn't it?), you can build a browser inside of a browser.
- Curtiss Grymala
Finally got what you mean. Something like facebook's tabs (can't come up with a better ex. right now) but without the page reloading everytime you change tabs. Interesting

Trying to make the point that no social network offers a substitute to the real world. Yet following the Social factors of the Real World, FF has them all.

Just check out prism which I've had on my system since sometime in '07, but just started using.

Really? Proof? edit: I thought you meant FF

I wonder why Mozilla didn't merge it with Firefox. Google has obviously don't that with chrome but Prism was functional back then. Also the equivalent of Fluid. http://mozillalabs.com/blog...
- Jimminy
Is it because technology wasn't as powerful back then that the overhead of creating a new process was still considered onerous?
- Victor Ganata
Prism is not multiprocess, it is multiple instance.

Saying prism is multiprocess is like saying notepad is multiprocess
- mjc

Your correct, but I wonder if the Mozilla guys ever thought about creating an envelope process to handle all of the Prism processes in one location. Probably not, as they were trying to implement Site-Specific Browsers, if they had they would have ended up with a Chrome like browser, it's obvious that instead of running multiple implementations of the browser engine as Prism does, they could use one like Chrome does, making the over-all footprint of the instances smaller.
