If you use the FriendFeed Facebook application make sure you've configured it properly. We are switching to a new method of publishing in the not too distant future. If you see this message at http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... just click on the link to provide the proper permissions. (via http://friendfeed.com/bgolub...)

Closer integration with Facebook?? - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
A little late on the info as I deleted this link last week at I was told I was pushing all of my FF to FB people were not happy. - Ed Mason
I took mine off as well, Ed. Aside from the excess amount of FF content on my FB wall, I also didn't want my IRL friends to pry TOO MUCH into the rest of my online.life. :D - Helen Sventitsky
why do you not post the link comments from friendfeed to the wall? just the links loses 80% of the value. - Gregor J. Rothfuss
I'm tired the FriendFeed Facebook app. keeps asking me to fix "the problem" so it can post to my wall. I don't want it to post to my wall! Contacts on Facebook and FriendFeed are different types for me. On Facebook it's about being friends in real life, on FriendFeed it is about interests. At least that is how I use FF and FB. My Facebook friends would probably feel I was spamming uninteresting stuff if my FF posts where copied to FB (well, at least if I used FF so intensive as I want to:-))... - Stig Nygaard
Please let us select what to publish on FB from FF? I'd rather have tweets not appear on FB, particularly as I post from Ping.fm to FB and Twitter. - Kol Tregaskes
New publishing method? I hope nothing will change for those FF users who don't use Facebook. (am I alone here?) - Olivia Lovag from twhirl
I agree with Gregor ... By not having the comment sent with the link, it's just plain and boring and I'd rather just post directly to Facebook. Unfortunately, however, this would negate the very useful benefit of using the "Share on FriendFeed" bookmarklet. - Dewade Fowler

Leo Laporte Thank you, Johnny, really appreciate it. Johnny Worthington from Brisbane" - Josh Haley from Bookmarklet
I can't believe the entire podcast is in transcript form. And the service does it for free as marketing, I assume. Amazing. - Josh Haley
"Leo Laporte: Two Fs for awesome" is when I lost my shit :D - Johnny Worthington

"Security expert Bruce Schneier nails the core incompetency: "For years I've been saying 'Only two things have made flying safer [since 9/11]: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers.'"" - CW™ from Bookmarklet
"Sadly, this does mean that in the future we can expect one out of every two round-trip flights to Neptune to be hijacked." <== Hijackers and Neptune ? I thought we where worried about bombs around Uranus. - Eric Logan
None of the new restrictions are even logical. They're obviously theatre, and I just hope I don't have to fly anywhere until someone comes to his/her senses. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone
No one will come to any senses. It would show the Govt in a bad light that they made bad choices and that in fixing it that the Govt can do wrong things. Therefore you have to just continue to live with the situation and consequences until something else happens to where things can be stricter but for a completely different reason. - CW™

LOL. "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." http://bit.ly/25T2v
that fact always lead to the great debates vs my english teachers when they tried to tell me how i'd erred, ;) - chaz2b
Some writers also beat English unconscious and leave it for dead, so the other languages shouldn't feel too bad about it. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I don't care so much about vocabulary as I do consistent grammar which is where most people fail. - Akiva Moskovitz
hey, this leads me to one of my favourite English language rants: the idiocy of the no-split-infinitives 'rule', something created by morons who looked at Latin with its one-word infinitives and figured that in English, splitting the infinitive would therefore not analogize to proper Latin. - Andrew C
It's really funny how a lot of people have these quibbles about certain supposed word usage errors, only to find out that people have actually used those words that way since the 16th century. - Victor Ganata
Like "aks"? - Andrew C
Heh, yeah, exactly. - Victor Ganata
"The meaning of a word is its use in language." -- Wittgenstein. I like this view because it allows for language's organic nature e.g. 'wicked' can go from being 'wicked' to 'wicked', you know? - T. Brent, technopeasant
Fo shizzle. - Aryn Corley
I can't tell you how many times people have tried to lay the not-ending-sentences-with-prepositions crap on me, only to have Winston Churchill flung in their faces. English teachers don't even know the real rules! - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone
Of course, if they were clients, I educated them with grace and tact. I think. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone
And we wonder why non-native speakers of English have trouble, eh? lol - Rick Cogley
Our Latin teachers used to tell us English was the most irregular language in the world. Latin was certainly pretty regular. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Mary yeah latin was pretty regular. - Rick Cogley from iPhone
English is not a Latin language, though it is influenced by Latin... the study of Latin, as a source of 'proper English', is a bit value-laden. - T. Brent, technopeasant
I do imagine a dead language would be a lot more regular than a living language. - Victor Ganata
to invoke a dead, regular language to 'regulate' a living language is to try and reach from the grave... - T. Brent, technopeasant
What I don't like about English, or rather popular speech, is when people try and take common mistakes or slang and use it as proper English. Yes I can pwn noobs or go 2 teh lib b4 2nite, but I wouldn't tell my boss or even a coworker that. You have to have some amount of regularity to actually properly convey information. It's why multiple words that have almost the same definition/connotation survive, precision. - Heather
But that's how language seems to evolve. Certainly it doesn't happen within a lifetime, but that may very well be what English really looks like 200 years from now. We're used to static orthography because of the printing press and its descendants, but standardized spelling doesn't really seem to be the norm before Gutenberg. - Victor Ganata

Nice! - Rochelle
Yep, the ocean is visible but just barely. Unfortunately the camera isn't good enough to capture that in the wide angle. - Alex Scoble from IM
Beautiful! - Nicholas Kreidberg
Looks nice. Very nice! - Michael Fidler
Great choice -- best beaches in the world. - Shey, Jamaican of FF
That's nice...but nobody asked what you prefer and it's pretty rude to say something like that on a thread when someone is obviously on vacation in Jamaica. - Alex Scoble from IM
Glad you weren't on the plane crash in Jamaica. Looks fun! - Robert Scoble
This thread went thataway. - Derrick
Hey, What do you know. I was in your neck of the woods last week. In the Domenican Republic. Always wanted to get to Jamaica. While you're there, check out the Olympic Bobsled team :) - Roberto Bonini
Sorry for biting your head off, Jeunelle. Your comment rubbed me the wrong way and I went off. My apologies. - Alex Scoble
No worries Alex. It's in the past. - Jeunelle Foster
Thanks Jeunelle...I still needed to publicly apologize to you. Maybe we'll go to Tobago on our next trip. :) - Alex Scoble from IM
Very nice indeed. - Spencer

And in other news, FriendFeed, Facebook and Google Reader are still up. Poor Twitter....
Welp. Here we are! How's tricks, Louis? =) - Jolie O'Dell
Them tricks be played out! :) - Louis Gray
I see Twitter being down, for many folks, like a power outage. Everyone stops... rubs their eyes, looks around, and eventually picks up a book. :) - Louis Gray
Pretty much. I was polling people about something, but I guess I could go... uh... - Jolie O'Dell
Hacked by "Iranian Cyber Army" according to TechCrunch -http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Atul Arora
I am mainly curious to see if Google/Feedburner will automatically tweet my new blog post now. That's why I even found out, because I checked. - Louis Gray
Yes, Atul. (See the Google Reader share on my feed) - Louis Gray
Louis - my bad. Was lazy not to scroll down to the bottom of the screen :) - Atul Arora
...and I'm sure FriendFeed, Facebook, and Google Reader are seeing increased traffic just right now. - Claudio Sennhauser
Then you should be using Lazyfeed! http://www.lazyfeed.com. :) - Louis Gray
I got an error from DISQUS when I posted to your blog - Ankush Narula
Totally. Where else we gonna go? FriendFeed is, in that sense and to some people, like Twitter's less hot but totally more willing friend. Dang. - Jolie O'Dell
Ankush, I got your comment, successfully. - Louis Gray
Yes, no one will hack FriendFeed. - Jose Alvear
Jolie, FriendFeed is much hotter, but there is an entrance fee and bouncers. - Louis Gray
++ Louis. - Micah Wittman
yes... it posted to DISQUS... but I get a cross-site pop-up from DISQUS that wanted me to reconfigure my twitter connection - Ankush Narula
Are we still talking about apps?? - WorldofHiglet
Louis is right - I've seen peeps get bounced. Good times :) - Micah Wittman
Question is: How many blog posts will get written about it? And how many will have BREAKING in the headline? And... what's the point? :) - Louis Gray
Isn't a daily Twitter outage almost expected these days... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
This seems like a bit more than the regular outage. Am I wrong? - David Damore
oh one more ... Twitter is like a really hot chick with a heart condition and tendency to get raped every now and then... - Ankush Narula
A tendency to get raped... Yup. I'm definitely over the Internet for tonight. Peace, y'all! - Jolie O'Dell
I predict FriendFeed traffic back up this month :-) - Jesse Stay
Why isn't there ever a Farmville outage, it has more people and money is even involved.... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Louis, my question is how will you ironically work the word BREAKING into one of your blog posts by tomorrow. *taps toe...* - Micah Wittman
Is it a requirement, Micah? - Louis Gray
Interesting that http://search.twitter.com/ seems to be working fine. - David Damore
BREAKING HEADLINE: Twitter is currently DEAD. Scoble is not getting smarter right now! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
nice - Ankush Narula
The phrase "twitter is down" shows results from third party clients, but none from Web. http://search.twitter.com/search... - Louis Gray
looks like a DNS poisoning attack: curl -H'Host: twitter.com' http://66.147.242.88 - Paul Lindner
Tech Crunch: "Update III: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts. Because of the scale of this hack, it can only be assumed right now that Twitter has been completely compromised." - David Damore
Louis, yes, it's practically required now - MaryB voted on it! - Micah Wittman
Somehow, I just got a new Twitter follower 1 minute ago. :) - Louis Gray
Was it @IranianCyberArmy ? - Ankush Narula
hehe - WorldofHiglet
Back up for me - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
And now that Twitter's back up, I'm going down for the night. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
So do we now know how long Robert Scoble can hold his breath? - Keith Rowland
FriendFeed is pretty lame... I'm switching back to twitter... - Ankush Narula
"friendship to everyone" in your bio out of date? :D - Micah Wittman
Google Reader is borked in Chrome at the moment. - Raphael, Raphael
That's unpossible! - Louis Gray
I'm as surprised as you. - Raphael, Raphael
Well not completely. For my main use of Friendfeed, it's not. I use FF to update Twitter accounts (several) from Yahoo Pipes, and it stopped working almost 24 hours ago. - Ignacio Rodriguez de R,

I just did something that I thought I'd never do: I bought skinny jeans. Things I learned:
Skinny jeans are actually kind of nice for PNW weather (especially short ones) because they don't get soaking wet at the bottom, which is kind of like a miracle. - joey
(Almost) everyone has body image issues. The girl selling me the jeans was gorgeous and curvy and was disappointed that I fit (barely or not at all) into their smallest size/style that she liked. I was disappointed that I couldn't wear their sexy jeans that she was sporting because I have no hips. We probably both looked good in our respective fits. - joey
It's kind of worth it to have a nice pair of jeans instead of the (literally falling apart at the seams) pair that you stole from your sister a few years ago. - joey
I wear the same size as I did in junior high, so I can probably pull out some of my old wardrobe from my parents' house. I'm not a hoarder, I just keep clothes as long as I can. I bought one pair that fits me perfectly now (but should stretch) and one that is a bit big so that as I gain my weight back, they'll fit. That's another thing...kind of awkward when people are like 'I'm jealous, you are so skinny' to be like 'oh, yeah. I'm sick.' - joey
The first thing you mentioned is my absolute favorite thing about skinny jeans. No more soggy knees! Can't wait to see them :) - Alexis Hope
Knees? Why would you have soggy knees? Do you hike funny? - joey
This reminds me. I need to get off my ass and buy a new pair of jeans. Some of my jeans are developing holes in intimate regions. Been putting it off because none of my jeans fit right, in a variety of different ways. - Wirehead
Soggy knees from too-long flares getting dragged through the puddles, and acting like a wick to suck up the rain? - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Loving these comments and imagining my 216-pound self in your situation. More than half of that weight is below the waist. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Ah, Mary that may make sense. Mine do get soggy pretty high up, but usually it's the bottoms that drag the worst (especially bad for us short people). And I'm sure that they have the right jeans for you at one of these specialty shops. They seemed good at envisioning what would flatter just about anyone. Of course, they weren't $20. - joey
I tried on a pair of Fox skinny jeans and was surprised at how amazing they were. The saying "If you wore the trend the first time don't repeat it" doesn't always apply. Also, American Eagle boyfriend fit is great. They have 00. - R1CC1
My jeans double as a tent for normal sized people. - Morgan Haley
My jeans double as a portable garage for humvees. :) - CW™
Christo just called me and asked to borrow a couple pairs of my skivvies....Is that a bad thing? - Morgan Haley
no, the water usually soaks all the way up to my knees! it's horrible. edit: yes, what mary said :) - Alexis Hope

How I Met My Martin -- don't worry it's a short story.
mymartin.jpg
It was near Christmas, 1990. My wife and I had been married in March. - Jim in Real Time
We were staying at my folks' house in NJ for a few days. We had just been out Christmas shopping. My parents hadn't purchased a real tree, so we got them one. We had just set it up, when... - Jim in Real Time
My wife said, "We should put presents underneath it!" and left the room. - Jim in Real Time
She came back with a guitar case that said Martin on it. - Jim in Real Time
Instead of putting it under the tree, she put it in my lap. "Here, Jim. This is for you." - Jim in Real Time
It was, is and probably always will stand as the best Christmas present I've ever received. - Jim in Real Time
Okay. You made me all weepy. Had to delete my sarcastic comment. :-/ Do you play a lot...in a band...or something like that? I've got a Martin, but I've not played in years. - Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
QUEUE TEARS. - Derrick
Joy had bought it about a month before. She asked a friend of mine who was also a guitar player to go with her to try out different guitars. But she knew that I had always wanted a Martin, and what guitar player wouldn't. - Jim in Real Time
She saved for, I don't know, almost a year to pay for it. - Jim in Real Time
I used to play a lot, not so much anymore. I just recorded a little bit of the first song I played on this guitar to post along with the story, but it sounded awful. - Jim in Real Time
damn. that's so sweet. wow. - Joe Silence disconnected
I was able to make a better recording of me playing a bit of the first song I ever picked on this guitar: http://jvjannotti.posterous.com/first-s... - Jim in Real Time
