Congrats Ben! Totally agree with Jason. Our latest project wouldn't have become feasible without Ben -- I'm just so glad we managed to get a fraction of his time before he left! :)
- Simon
Congratulations, Ben! You're joining an awesome team.
- Anne Bouey
Congrats, you are now a "big company"! ;))))
- K.D.
That's not my picture! They got the picture wrong! In fact, I didn't get the letter of hire either. :( Oh, Hi there, Ben...if that's your real name. ;)

Good luck Ben! With you our preferred service will go more interesting

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*
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.
- Ben Darnell
When I first came on to ff today, this is what I saw at the top of the feed. As I leave, it is at the top again. Thus, I both start and end the day smiling.

I'm just gonna go ahead and let this be my embarrassing photo meme entry.

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.
- Soup in a TARDIS
Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...
- Greg Lato
1600+ to beat the FFundercats live chat thread. I think with this real time now on all threads we're going to see some truly epic comment numbers.
- Simon Wicks
Ivan, no the picture speaks for itself. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- pb:
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- pb:
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- The original Kevin
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

See the curly perm kills it. Either you have the authentic Jewfro from the beginning, or you don't. Back when he was rocking the short and conservative cut, he was just nerdy enough to get my baby gaydar rising. Oh, to be six again...

hey, i'm Martyyyy on Realpics. about it being a story, some dude asked her for nudes, and she said no. and he called her a pussy if i remember correctly. so she defended herself by saying she used to be a stripper, and then the rest of it is right in front of you.

- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Duuuuuude how in the world did you find this Jimminy?!
- Mona Nomura
Mona, search was working pretty well at the time, can't remember what I was looking for though. Edit: I searched for "pussy comments:jimminy" trying to find a post from a week or two ago where I posted "P is for pussy, that's good enough for me." Didn't find it though. Embarrassed.

Could we please have separate notification settings for true, private "Direct Messages" and threads where somebody has just posted to a public feed and Cc'd us?
I'd also like to be able to "unsubscribe" from a DM, so that I no longer receive email for that specific entry without changing the settings on subsequent DMs/entries.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, yep definitely. It's nice to have the initial post but sometimes I don't need to see the following comments on my DM page. #betakoltag-sg-dm
- Kol Tregaskes
Just as an example: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... I may or may not be interested in the ensuing conversation on this entry, but I have no choice at this point. Since I have email notification for DMs set up, I'm going to continue to get email from this entry. That makes little sense to me.

While it's not Father's Day here until the first Sunday in September, I just wanted to wish Josh Hau`oli La Makuakane. I hope Sarah, Zack, Seth and Zoe know how lucky they are...
that roof shot should be a poster in the family room ;)

And while it may not be Father's Day here, I told Rachael that all the other dads on FriendFeed would be getting something... she let me buy two small packs of LEGO... International Misaligned Celebration Guilt Trips FTW!!!

Tina, I didn't notice Dave being so reddish in his topless shot. It's the contrast between his skin tone and yours that makes him look sunburned. :)
- Jandy
Must ask Tina about her facial skin care, flawless! (Won't discuss her chestage hairs)
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
I do very little, Janet, other than avoid the sun and wear no makeup (both because I tend to be allergic to sunscreen). The chest hairs I blame on my dad: he always told me to eat my greens because they'd put hair on my chest! Yes, that actually is true, but then again he was drinking at the time...
- FFing Enigma
Ruh-roh....that's going to force me into the kitchen to make some greens for our BBQ tonight. Already making cornbread and Adrian has his beans.
- Anika
Trish, I just made a grocery list of stuff I wanted to make, but I think I'm just gonna swing down to my place in Compton. It won't take me all day, it's cheaper, and I won't smell like smoke. Plus I'm tired. Gah.
- Derrick
If Eric is off to the store for ribs, then I guess I know what I am making tonight! Thanks, dear!
- Elena
Are there sweet potatoes hidden somewhere down there. Only thing that is missing. Derrick- What place in Compton?
- Amani
I don't think there are sweet potatoes down there, Amani, but check the place out. It's the best bbq I've ever had. Ever. Bludso's on Long Beach Blvd. in Compton.
- Derrick
Wow... that looks like home. Seattle doesn't get southern cooking. I have to import grits!

Derrick: Born in Memphis, raised in Sikeston Missouri, family from St. Louis... Highway 55/61 chile

Ahh!! I was coming up with a comment for "Flavors", and a light bulb in the kitchen just exploded (not the glass though) and rained down sparks on top of my wife who happened to be standing right under the fixture. She's OK. WEIRD!!!!!

ewwww!!! nasty !!!!! Damn the economy really has gone to hell in a handbasket hasn't it?! yikes!

Being slightly alergic to Pork, there is so much wrong with that picture

Susan, I would argue your statement would be true if I showed you a price tag and an empty rack. But the Spam was still there... and Mona, you're SO in denial. :-)
- Louis Gray
How much does that reconstituted junk cost?
- Susan Beebe
I can't help but think "Junk E-Mail In A Can" ;)
- Tyson Key
I've never eaten that one, but I do sometimes eat the lower sodium spam in sandwich with cucumber or tomato - and I so don't eat junk or fast food, but spam at least has taste, which is more than you can say for the meat in a McD etc.

Spam and scrambled egg musubi = yum! I think having that substituting regular spam would probably broke da mout to levels unknown before. Must find.

I was going to put a bandolier on the bunneh and have it say "VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!" but the bunneh was too small. Seriously, though: that bunneh with the carrot bandolier from the PETA ad? PURE WIN.

The phrase "DAMN YOU, STEVEN PEREZ!" originated from the lips of Mark Wilson, formerly of the podcast Ffundercats, usually in response to some silliness perpetuated by Steven Perez in the uStream chat room associated with the live recordings that the Ffundercats do every Friday evening.

Damnit. I missed DYSP day. :-( I couldn't remember whether it was 7 or 14 days before DYLH day. Alas, I was driving back from Maryland after rescuing my parents. Is it too late to damn you, Steven Perez? Or just send wishes of a happy day that doesn't happen to be the anniversary of the day you entered the world?

For some reason, I read combines as concubines. I've been reading the Bible a lot more lately, LOL.
- Shey
hahaha!..... for some of those players, there will be concubines (and transgressions) too...

Holy Crap! When did she turn legal?! MY BAD! Carry on, nothing to see in the comments. ;)

Welp @Mona that depends on what state you'd be hosting the young lady in but in most places she's been ‘legal’ - in that special sense - a coupla years now.

Crap, I just realized how much older than her I am. If you all need me I'm going to go over in the corner and feel all creepy for a bit. P.S. keep off my lawn.

Why the morality police, Anthony? Do you need saving from yourself?
- WoH: Minding her Steves
Ha! no, please. ;) But, following the "dirty old man" dust-up, I found myself wondering where the Puritans had been during all these other posts. So yesterday I bumped a bunch of them.
