There were some bugs in the "Twitter publishing" code that caused some entries to get published on Twitter when they should not, and others to not get published when they should. I've cleaned up the code to eliminate these problems, but it's possible some settings were lost. Please verify your settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting...
Cheers for this Paul. How cool is it that one of the founders of FF still gets his hands dirty in the code. Once a coder, always a coder :-)

Thanks Keith :) By the way, if none of your posts are making it through to twitter, it may be that you changed your password. To verify, simply click "Save changes" at http://friendfeed.com/setting... and we will check that your Twitter credentials are still good (and sign-out then back in to fix).
- Paul Buchheit
Matthew, in general all the same settings that the old ui had are available on the new one (plus a few more), though they are now divided on to several different pages. You should be able to reach all of the the settings by clicking on the word "settings" below your name in the top-right part of the page (the dialog shows a few, and links to all the others).
- Paul Buchheit
You can filter by service by searching for service:twitter (or whatever service you like), and of course that can be combined with other search operators as well. See http://friendfeed.com/search... for more.
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks Paul, sounds like you pulled an all nighter to fix these.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, unfortunately the code had gotten rather involved since it was trying to support both the old ui and the new (the old ui worked on a per-service basis instead of letting you decide individually on each entry), and the logic sometimes became inconsistent. I simplified it quite a bit, so there should be less room for bugs now :)
- Paul Buchheit
Nice try, Matthew, I congratulate you on being awake, and carpe-diem'ing Paul here, but have to disappoint you - if FF wanted us to have favicons, they'd already issued us our favicons. Do you see any favicons that made the transition from earlier version. No? You think Paul nuked them by mistake... be my guest, and I'll be looking forward to the next couple of years' worth of your pleading for favicons when you could be learning to live both here and thereater without them.

I'm a bit confused about the "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" and "FriendFeed (when there's no Cc box)" options. Are these exclusive? Does checking the first one mean all my FriendFeed posts will get posted to Twitter even if I uncheck the Cc box?
- Tony Ruscoe
Paul, thank you thank thank you for the "Check CC Twitter box by default" option!!! That's one step closer to only needing Friendfeed. I'm almost ready to dump Google Reader AND Twitter now!
- caj needs a haircut
Tony, the "cc twitter by default" option sets whether then checkbox is checked or unchecked by default in the share box and bookmarklet. The other option ("when there's no cc box") applies mostly to the API and other off-site interfaces, such as email (mail share@friendfeed.com) and IM. For any given post, only one setting applies.
- Paul Buchheit
I publish to Twitter by default but now link directly to the source. I figure that those finding outside of FF want to go to the source (while those reading on FF are already seeing the discussion).
- Mike Reynolds
Hi Paul, about 15 mins ago I "shared" an item from FF here to "my feed" and "cc Twitter". But still not showing up on Twitter. Just thought I'd let you know.
- Brian
Thanks Brian. It turns out there was a bug in the "Share" feature that sometimes caused us to sometimes not send the tweets (the new code errors on the side of not sending tweets). It's fixed now though. Please let me know if you spot any others.
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, that did the trick! Thanks for looking into that. BTW, that was a quick fix! Just shared an item on FF and it pushed thru to Twitter instantly.
- Brian
Hello Paul, when I try to publish just my google talk status to twitter and have "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation" selected, it doesn't send the tweet. I'm not sure if this is because twitter seems to be having difficulty right now or if it's the lack of a source link because it's a google talk status?
- ehaab
ehaab, publishing to Twitter was broken this morning, so no updates went out. It should work fine now however, including publishing updates from Google Talk. Sorry about that.
- Paul Buchheit
thanks! it was driving me batty trying to figure out why it wasn't taking.

I think it's still broken. I just posted via the Bookmarklet and CC'd twitter... no go. EDIT: my latest one just posted, must be intermittent.

I think there were a bunch of spam comments made to some 2009-era posts by FF employees. For some reason even after the spam is nuked, the post stays bumped.
- Stephen Mack
Yes, I blocked a spammer that was bumping old posts about FF themes and what not.
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
Well, let's see this as an opportunity to raise a virtual glass to Ben and FriendFeed-that-was!
- Kevin Fox
It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*

I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.

#SaturdayFF in college my friend scored tix to u2's zoo tv tour, but the seats were behind the stage, upper level. did not care, too excited. we went early so i could get tshirts for my friends. made our way up to the seats. as we were sitting there some cops came by and swapped our tickets with those they got off scalpers outside (busted!).
Congrats! How has the increase in physical fitness felt? Are you stronger and more energetic?
- Spidra Webster
Having better fitness is great. Used to get winded climbing stairs, not anymore! Unfortunately, my weight loss hasn't helped my bad back issues - been fighting back pain for 5 months. Hard to exercise when you're in pain!
- Ken Gidley
That's too bad. I'm pretty sure losing weight off my gut would help my back issues. Do you do hamstring stretches? My chiro told me (and my experience bears out) that tight hamstrings can pull on things in a way that causes low back pain. Of course, if your back pain is due to disc issues, that's another kettle of fish.
- Spidra Webster
Has this all been due to bike riding or have you had a program involving diet regimen and other exercises? I'm curious because I have chronic pain from disability. As you say, it's hard to exercise when you're in pain. I'm trying to change my eating regimen again as well as exercise even more. I'm curious what worked for you.
- Spidra Webster
I don't stretch enough, but I do have disc issues. Had surgery 15 years back, looking like I may need another go of it. :(
- Ken Gidley
Spidra - the biggest thing for me was changing my diet. I've used LoseIt.com and the companion iPhone app to help me set a daily calorie budget (based on my current weight and the rate I wanted to lose weight - 1.5 lbs / per week), and track all my calorie intake. I log every bite I eat, every day now. I can eat anything I want, so long as I have the room in my calorie budget for the...

Brent, it's a simple idea too, and very powerful. It has taken a year to get where I am, but I really haven't felt at all deprived during that time. I still eat the foods I love, just less off them.

My brother weighed himself on our scales and was mortified - said he had put on, you guessed it, 6 lbs! Other people have said they don't give the same measurement, and I told him that. Also, I want to start using his scales :))

Wow...that's weird as hell. My janky scale says 152, but I didn't really think it was that janky. Hrm...maybe I should have asked for a decent scale for xmas. At least I'm not really relying on that to track progress or I'd be all types of screwed. LOL.

"The Europe-wide study of 4,000 people from seven different EU countries saw the volunteers fill out a questionnaire assessing their sleep habits.

My son took 12 hours in the Fall: $2,000. His 13 hours in the spring will cost > $4,000. He's still a non-resident, since he arrived on January 8th. (For tuition purposes, he's a non-resident of every US state.) Something's wrong when you can be a resident for purposes of taxation, driver's license, and jury duty, but not for tuition.
Yeah, that's wrong. Residency should be consistently defined.
- Stephen Mack
Yep. Sadly, that's a fairly common situation to be in.
- Katy S
and there's no way to appeal that decision? double check that if you haven't already.

I'm going to try to talk to them tomorrow. But it's all based on official criteria, and we didn't lie on his application.
- I like big Botts
Why is he a non-resident of every state?
- Rochelle
Yep. Same case here. I've been here for over a year, yet my tuition (paid by my grant) is at non-resident prices. *shrug*
- Derrick
it's simple - why admit a resident that will pay $299 for tuition when you can admit a non-resident that will pay $4000 for exactly the same classes, same seats, same air, same everything...it's been that way for a long time and it's supposed to encourage students to attend their local university while supposedly giving them a discounted tuition
- Morgan
My complaint is not against the non-resident tuition, but the differing definitions of "resident." That seems to me that it might be a Constitutional violation of the equal protection clause. In other words, if he's a resident for tax purposes, he should also be a resident for tuition purposes. Right now, there's this weird legal limbo where he is simultaneously a resident and a...

Usually residency for tuition purposes takes 6 month I think. It would be very easy for people to grab an apartment a month before classes start and pay in-state tuition rates, but that goes against the point of in-state tuition. Glad you're getting some money back though, it didn't seem right that he would still be a non-resident.
- <3Heather<3
It's still silly that a person spends 12 months as a resident (when the state wants your money) and simultaneously a non-resident (when the state provides services).

A simple extension for Chrome I just made. / Pequeña extensión que acabo de hacer. / Basically the same ol' bookmarklet wrapped in a distinctive ff button. Check it out: https://chrome.google.com/extensi...
Works fine on Mac OS X 5.0.335 dev channel release. It looks like extensions are disabled on the extensions website and on Chrome internal pages, but if you go to like http://google.com the bookmarklet pops up just fine. You can try to remove the %20 in the action_url string, but removing it didn't seem to affect my usage either way.

Actually, it seems to work, just wasn't working on the link to the extension. Seems to work fine on other pages though so I think we're good.

If you could combine FFcheck with the bookmarklet, that would be very useful

and friendfeedTranslate - if someone does this, I suggest using kynetx to do it. It will give you one jquery-based language to write extensions with one code base across most browsers: http://kynetx.com

Jesse, are you an advisor to kynetx (I see they're based in Lehi)? Do you know what their business model is - have they stated anything as such publicly. It certainly looks interesting.
- Micah
Micah, I am not an advisor, nor do I have any vested interest. I just really like what they're doing. Their business model is in building custom apps for brands interested, or in consulting. I'm not sure what other types of deals they do. Their developer platform is free though. You can ask @windley or @fulling on Twitter though and I'm sure they can answer more detailed questions than I'm aware.
- Jesse Stay
Of note, @windley wrote the Digital Identity book for O'Reilly, and has a very strong identity background. I fully expect them to go full force into the identity realm with what they're doing. Imagine completely customized context (such as this extension, but even more), through extensions, action cards, and bookmarklets, across all browsers.

I spent two days working on the defense for my speeding ticket, and six months mildly fretting about it. Today was the day. I went to court and the officer didn't show. Case dismissed!

- Johnny

I plead not guilty, and could demonstrate through math that the officer's version of events was impossible. He radar gunned a vehicle going 15mph faster than me then caught up to me thinking I was him. To have caught up to the actual car in that distance the officer would have to have accelerated to 162mph, a speed impossible in his vehicle.
