good espresso machine died. pulled out old one. WORST. EVER. worst. blech. not right to give crack to me then take it away. #missmymachine
Makes/models in question? - Brett Kelly from iPhone
Mine is over 15 years old, and there's no way I can afford a new one in my current situation. I've been replacing parts as needed via the Saeco website (It's a Proteo Barista from Starbucks) and, so far, I've managed to keep my espresso flowing. I really could use a new brew head, but they want $75 damn dollars! Just know that repairs and deferral of final resting status are possible. - Mark Jepsen
Saeco is the brand, and if I knew what was broken, I would fix it myself. If I can scratch-build computers, I can surely fix an Espresso machine. All i know is the water is not moving, even though the pump appears to be working just fine. - Karoli
Brett, the old one is just an ancient little counter model. krups, I think. We bought the saeco used and refurbished, but it's not cooperating. - Karoli
I once had to "unbend" a paper clip and use the wire to "ream" the channel inside the steaming wand. If the water isn't coming out through the brew head, that's a different issue. Sometimes you need to "prime" it by opening the steam wand until water comes out, then turning on the "brew/extraction" pump (without the brew head in place) until water comes out. Then attach the brew head... more... - Mark Jepsen

"As I just said to wuggaslady below, the real battle under all of the external debates has been over pre-existing conditions. When this bill passes (and it will) the war is won, and subsequent reforms will be with the full support of the insurance industry, which will slowly withdraw from the markets altogether." - Karoli

"The only real problem to solve at this point is ending the pre-existing conditions exclusion and rescissions. Insurers will welcome the next round of reforms when they can't cherry-pick anymore. This has always been their line in the sand. The fight for the public option forced them to fight the battle on our turf instead of theirs and the result will be a strong set of reforms that will indeed result in affordable coverage for all." - Karoli

"My issue isn't with raising issues and pushing for them. It is the judgment that drives me nuts. Before details are out, it's "Reid sold out younger for older" (open salvo in generational wars), "Obama is a Republican in Democrats' clothing", etc. Those judgments do real harm with no benefit." - Karoli

Re: A public option by any other name still contains costs - http://www.drumsnwhistles.com/2009...
"Jaelithe, I thought Ezra Klein nailed it in less words that I could put together: "public option partnered with Medicare might have been better than these policies, but national non-profits and direct competition between Medicare and insurers is more promising than the compromised public plans that succeeded the initial policy idea. In fact, it's like we split the strong public option into two parts. "" - Karoli
Robert Scoble
I just got a seat in front row of LeWeb to find out that Twitter is down. Not a good time for it to go down.
I told the guy next to me "at least we have FriendFeed." He looked at me strange. - Robert Scoble
HA! - Dave Martin
maybe he was thinking, "at least we still have http://copainsdavant.linternaute.com/ !" - Marshall Kirkpatrick
A big conference able to crash twitter all by itself :-) - Brian Schwartz
Did the guy wander into the wrong conference? - David Damore
Post to your Facebook Page - he'll understand that - Jesse Stay
Damn. Conference hasn't even really started properly and the LeWeb gang are crashing Twitter. - Tom Morris
Well, Robert, this is another fine mess you've gotten us all into. - Dave Martin
I posted to Facebook too. :-) - Robert Scoble
Someone needs to build a Twitter proxy service that'll hold tweets until the service is back up online and repost them. - Tom Morris
There is a major problem with Twitter. Tweets from people you are NOT following are appearing in your stream. These are NOT Twitter ReTweet either. - David Damore
It wasn't LeWeb's fault. No one is even here in the hall yet. The conference starts in 45 minutes or so. - Robert Scoble
What time is it there Robert? - Brian Schwartz
Certain social media people have egos big enough that they like to think that they could crash Twitter. ;) - Tom Morris
Brian: 0818. - Tom Morris
Robert, how is the conf, so far? - Dave Martin
perhaps it's time to switch to SkyRock or Trombi! ;) - Marshall Kirkpatrick
MK - it's the default of the stars - friendster - Dave Martin
Tom, hmmm...Seesmic should do that - but Loic's busy running LeWeb right now ;-) - Jesse Stay
Friendster? I've still got an Orkut account... - Tom Morris
You could all use Google Wave for LeWeb. Watch each other type and then watch your browser crash a few minutes later. - Brian Schwartz
irc - Dave Martin
Still messing around with Twitter?!? - Adrian
"Responding to unscheduled downtime 1 second ago We are working to respond to a disruption in service that stated approximately 10 minutes ago." - David Damore

http://gsnap.com/scoblei... <<-- I am curating LeWeb in real time here. - Robert Scoble
word of the month: curate. Me? I just tweet, surf, read, share, blog when I have something to say. - Karoli
The Twitter is back - Dave Martin
Looks like it is back now - Stephane Bourzeix
Karoli - check this - The Content Strategist as Digital Curator by Erin Scime via A List Apart http://bit.ly/5PuQT0 - Dave Martin
Spoke too soon. Twitter not exactly back. Latency issues. - Dave Martin
Dave, I know there are tons of posts about curation. It's the hot term right now. I hate it, mostly because it's...the hot term. :) - Karoli
Karoli, hear you. Still, the item is worth your attention, maybe ;) - Dave Martin
just behind you and said "pardon" when I had an accident with your camera ahahaha - zeno

What the!? Starting today I've been getting incoming tweets at my phone from several users who I DO NOT have set to send updates to my cell.
DO ANYBODY else experience similar anomalies today? - Micah Wittman
I've seen others complaining about this too. - Admiral Anika
Aww, dag-nabit. I thought I was special. Thanks for the heads up, Anika. - Micah Wittman
Lots of people are complaining about it. - David Damore
Twitter appears to be down now as well - David Damore
Thanks, David. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked! - Micah Wittman
No info at http://blog.twitter.com/ either. - David Damore
Status: It's Complicated (no wait, that's the other big network :) - Micah Wittman
seeing lots of comments from people about that. - Karoli
Thanks, Karoli. I really noticed b/c I only have one person set for updates to phone. - Micah Wittman
Is anyone able to get Twitter.com to load in a browser? What about in apps? Iphone, TweetDeck etc? - David Damore
deader than a doornail, Twitter is. - Karoli
Do bookies have odds on Failing Whaling by now? Vegas can probably predict when it will come back up as well as anyone. - Micah Wittman
Looks like Twitter is looking into the problem now. Status page is updated. http://status.twitter.com/ - David Damore

Re: You’re Probably on a Bunch of Twitter Lists and Don’t Even Know it - http://lifestreamblog.com/youre-p...
"Isn't it sad how the news of the insanity spreads?" - Louis Gray
Not only are you on a bunch of lists and don't know it, some of those lists are designed to encourage spammers. - Karoli
What you should do, is follow @listwatcher so you can see what lists you're on/off in realtime - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Re: Public Option Dead? Or Recrafted? - http://ushealthcrisis.com/2009...
"It's not ideal. But here's what I have right now and for the forseeable future: Nothing. Not just nothing; no chance to get anything. So which option works best for me? Bankruptcy or piecemeal?" - Karoli

Through Reno. Here we go.
It should be a pretty drive down the hill this morning, I'd think. - Karoli
Indeed. appoaching Sacramento, will depart bus at a full run. We're in good shape, it will be rushed but just fine. - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed

Re: Barbara Mikulski – Let’s Paint an A on Women’s Forehead - http://www.drumsnwhistles.com/2009...
"I think the entire issue is an effort to derail health care reform with a wedge issue about a procedure that is legal. After Sticks was born, I had a D that's the same procedure as abortion. Would I have had to pay for it? If I hadn't had it, I'd have bled to death." - Karoli

We are working to bring FriendFeed back as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
So, you are leaving Facebook and returning FriendFeed to it's former greatness?! ;) - JA Castillo
Thanks Ben and pals! You guys rock! - Josh Haley from iPhone
Thanks for such a great service. - ashish
Thanks guys - zeroinfluencer
Thanks! - Ruchira S. Datta
What does this mean? Does it refer to the Twitter blockade? - Steve Gillmor from iPhone
Thanks guys. Thank you very much!! - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
steve friendfeed was not available this morning...the message refers to that. not seeing any appreciable break in the twitter blockade. - Karoli
I actually got a complaint from someone who follows me on Twitter about link flooding coming from Friendfeed, so it's good the blockade is there, for now at least. - Mr. Gunn
Ben, while you're at it, can you fix whatever broke Amazon wishlists? Thanks! - Michael R. Bernstein
Plus the Desktop Notifier. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
The blockade is in the other direction. If Twitter won't acknowlege it then Facebook is effectively killing the service. - Steve Gillmor from iPhone
Give full support and resources to Mr. Golub!! We all want a thing from that post, even without its context 8). - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
What's up with FF links not showing up on Twitter? It's been that way for about a week. The FF link interface has always confused me. And now it doesn't work. - A Mitchell
Seems to be working here but Twitter posta are delayed by 20 minutes to two hours due to legal issues - Steve Gillmor from iPhone
Thanks very much! It was back up as soon as I saw your tweet. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
thank you for all your work, :) - chaz2b
I have had some problems with pages fully loading since it came back, Home feed and Best of Day in particular. Posts at the bottom of the page are cut off and like, comments, and expanding to read comments is impossible unless I open the individual posts in a new window. Very frustrating. - April Russo (app103)
Links are still not coming through from FriendFeed to Twitter. I'm not making this up. - A Mitchell

"The Senate is going to be in session all weekend, debating the big health care bill and arguing about which direction the cost-curve is heading. This is a positive development on two counts. It keeps senators off the streets while providing much-needed employment in the chart-making sector of our economy." - Karoli from Bookmarklet
