LPH™ and his dog P™
It's more fun when you put your arms up like this. ... ... ... ... ... ... Classroom website: http://www.thechembook.com
[Upstairs / Downstairs]: Since I'm having to think about the network in my home (broken N adapter), I'm thinking what is the best way to soup up the connectivity for 8 computers always on (at least one machine in each room) - wifi connection to cable -
Actually - I'd love to bring in a T1 into the house. I crave to just have all the servers in here --- play time !
- LPH™ and his dog P™
[Linksys Wireless-N USB Adapter]: Died -- a family member pulled it from one of the machines and so I put it back in .. no power .. no lights .. .no work .. sniff.
Manufactured 1/2008 -- I wonder what happened to the little guy?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
These cards aren't cheap either --
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Tried to move a "G" USB over and - of course - I don't have the driver -- :p
- LPH™ and his dog P™
They usually die from heat. Doesn't the manufacturer's website have a driver for your "G" device?
- Jack Carlson
Hey Jack - yeah, drivers are available but the machine can't connect to the wifi to download those drivers ... right? So the only way to get the drivers is to go to another machine .. blah blah blah .. sigh .. so much for simplicity!
- LPH™ and his dog P™
I've got a USB stick (4GB) that holds all the drivers for my hardware. Handy for re-installation or for setting up a new rig. Wrote "drivers" on it with a silver Sharpie for easy identification.
- Jack Carlson
Jack - brilliant idea ---> now I'm searching for all those usb sticks just sitting around this house!
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Thanks for giving me an idea for a quick blog post. ;)
- Jack Carlson
Ooo - beautiful website for support http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US...
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Most welcome Jack - so many things can now be put onto usb sticks -- just as long as the dog doesn't eat them

[Out of Place]: There I am looking at FFHolic - cuz I was curious what I missed while sleeping - and there is an entry of mine. Thanks .. BUT .. it's out of place. There are so many better entries ..
[Newspapers]: During campaign cycles, politicians hire college students to post on blogs and comments, shouldn't newspapers moving online do the same?

I love surveys.

[SteroidFeed]: Here is my new way of watching feeds on FriendFeed. I call it SteroidFeed but it is also a "Multi-Talk" style interface ... the file sits locally and allows me to view multiple topics. I've attached a copy of the simple html. Feel free to modify the html but please leave attribution and share your changes. Leave a URL if on Internet.

Of course, the version I uploaded does not include my own entries but instead has the iPhone entry as an example. My local copy uses "from:lph" so I can see my entries and add comments quickly. (e.g., this comment is added through steroidfeed.html and not through the site.

If Adrian Veidt had FriendFeed instead of just satellite TV, this is totally how he would have read it.

There is a danger, Chrome has trouble with this many connections to FF.

I borrowed it here, LPH. http://friendfeed.com/louisgr...

I've changed this file a bit so that a fourth column is available, and this holds a rowspan of my own entries. This makes tracking easier.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
I should state that the fourth column is an embed so that I can add comments, photos, files, etc. - That code is similar to the one on my personal blog: http://www.layneheiny.com

Trying this on a 1024 x 768 resolution, 12-inch notebook - and it is fine with all four columns.

I dunno about Adrian Veidt; I'm thinking "Elvis's 21st Century TV Room." Now let's get mad about something and shoot out 1/12th of the screen!!
- Rich
OK - so are you asking - can I span this across multiple monitors? -- because Elvis used to watch multiple t.v.s at the same time.

uh oh, wonder if we will hit a limit on requests :)

I don't know but maybe that is a reasonable thought.

They might also have a check on how many (parallel) requests come in from a single ip .. But isn't this the same as opening 7 different browser windows ? Surely it should work

[Outside]: The weather is beautiful outside right now. I'm sitting on the bench made during the spring -- can't get any better than a nice breeze, notebook, wifi, and FriendFeed.

[FFDirect Updated]: If you use WP: instead of having FF pull in the blog entry, have WP push the entry into FF. This makes sure images are available too. See here for more details: http://wordpress.org/extend...

Any benefit over MediaRSS?
- Rahsheen ™
Yet another standard?
- directeur
Right now blogs being pulled in by FF don't give us all the features of integration with the blog. This plugin helps the integration between WP and FF.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Trying this out, but one thing I don't like is it posts on FF with "from FFdirect" instead of where I actually posted from.
- Stephen Mack
I just use MediaRSS and WP-SUP, but I haven't tried attaching an MP3 file and seeing if it gets shot through to FriendFeed.

OK - let me tell you what I have up my sleeve - instead of a Twitter search like this -- I was thinking posts should have a FF search feature available at the bottom of posts. Would that be cool?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
The script they are using is powered by javascript. It's pretty easy to do and I'll copy their source here (you may want to download the .js to your own server ;)): <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.huffingtonpost.com:80/assets..."></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var twitter; YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady( function() {...

- Nicholas James
Thank you Nicholas. Now, I think a simple embedded search would work best for FriendFeed. What do you think?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Yeah I think a simple FriendFeed one would be really great since it searches 50+ services instead of just 1 ;)
- Nicholas James
[Fantastic Search View]: I am watching this trending topic on FF: http://friendfeed.com/search... and having a great time reading the thoughts as they pass by the screen. Hot topic. I bet someone could build a better "FriendFeed Meme Tracker" with the FF search. Anyone interested?
[SteroidFeed 1.01]: Attached is the latest version. The fourth column uses a rowspan and includes the ability to post entries, photos, files, etc.

I am finding this works best in Safari 4. Chrome can't handle it and Firefox 3.5 locks up after 1/2 hour or so with script failures.

If one of your feeds is going too fast, you can adjust the settings. For example, at times, I use "comments:1 likes:1 friends:lph" in the second one ... this slows things down a bit.

[Automation]: I'm still trying to figure out a way to post to FriendFeed and have it become a blog entry on a Drupal site. The challenge to another location is the delay between the post and becoming available on FF. I prefer to start here on FF...
