Jonathan Hardesty

I'm a film writer and a web cartoonist attempting to make a living. Or something. I podcast too, and complain a lot.
Worst thing to say to someone you've just run into:
Wow! Did you gain weight? [This was said to me when I rain into a guy I hadn't seen in 9 years. I was 6 mos. pregnant.] - Anika Malone
'Oh, crap. I thought you were dead.' - Akiva Moskovitz
uh? who you? - vijay
What smells like ass? - Steve Lowe
Could have sworn you were somebody I slept with once. - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
Hey, don't I follow you on Twitter? - Iain Baker
@Anika, yikes. - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
What are you doing in the gay porn isle, Dad? - Jason Wyttenbach
[nothing; you just speed away before they can call the cops or get your license plate] - Akiva Moskovitz
Still trying to get hulu to work on my ubuntu install. If I can't, I'm switching back to windows. I should have just installed windows in the first place, since boxee now works for it.
I heard Boxee is coming to Linux sometime this year, of next year. - Matt
Boxee has always worked for linux as far as I can tell, with the windows version being the last out of the gate. - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
So...I'm trying to set up gtalk with friendfeed. Did I miss a step? it sent an invite to me and I accepted, but I don't see where to message friendfeed on my gtalk app on my G1. Is this even possible?
Do you see ff@chat.friendfeed.com? - Johnny Worthington
I see "friendfeed@talk.friendfeed.com" but it's not shown as a buddy, but that I've invited it... - Jonathan Hardesty
You may have to log into gmail to finalize the steps - Johnny Worthington
Let's see if that does it. *attempts to test* - Jonathan Hardesty
Do you use gMail or Google Apps for Domains? If the latter, you need to add some SRV records to get the FF IM bot to add you. Let me know if you need the records, I have a handy screenshot with all the settings you need. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'm good. Got it to work at the last minute before going to bed last night. :) - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
Yesterday was such a strange day for me.
Jonathan has plans to look for a second job tonight. Being flat broke is no fun. :(.
Tonight's plans: Look for second job.
So, my big accomplishment today was getting this gchat thing figured out. I do believe I'm okay with this.
I love it - it's great for keeping an eye on selected Lists/Feeds. Never got the hang of posting from it, though. - Ahsan Ali
testing andfeed
Just finished watching Crocodile Dundee.
It's been literally years since I've seen this, and TBS definitely edited a bit of stuff out. - Jonathan Hardesty
Testes 1 2 3
Hiiiooooooooooooooooooooooooo - Johnny Worthington
another test - Jonathan Hardesty via IM
Sweet - Rodfather
I feel super-accomplished. - Jonathan Hardesty
Testing out the gchat to friendfeed portability or whatever.
Wahoooo - Johnny Worthington
Nice! I guess it's tied to the status updates. Did not know this. - Jonathan Hardesty
Have you tried posting yet? - Johnny Worthington
friendfeed shows up as a user and I sent a message like I was chatting with it...but nothing happened. - Jonathan Hardesty
Oh, you have to prefix everything thusly: To make a post '@me' - Johnny Worthington
That will give you back a meaasge like '@3 ....' That @3 is what you use to add comments - Johnny Worthington
Try. 'help' and 'list' - Rodfather
Also, under you Email/IM settings up the top of FriendFeed you can set what you get sent to you as an update. I use this to follow certain people, get notifications when someone posts a comment on my stuff etc - Johnny Worthington
@Rodfather, 'help' and 'list' where? - Jonathan Hardesty
You instant message ff@chat.friendfeed.com those commands - Rodfather
ah ok. Yeah, I'm figuring it out slowly, but surely. :) - Jonathan Hardesty
@me Another test, typing this into the status update of gchat
Opps, you actually have to chat with it - Johnny Worthington
I think i figured it out. Just a sec... *tinkers* - Jonathan Hardesty
Lazy day is awesome. I haz it.
@CocoBeane Sending wishes of well-being your way!!
Who needs a vasectomy when you've got the macbook pro battery cooking your nuts?
:O - Mo Kargas
Seriously, Apple should consider making an addon for these laptops that allows you to cook food. - Jonathan Hardesty
iGrill - Mo Kargas
Yes! or poohaps the iDeepFry - Jonathan Hardesty
iHardBoiledEggs - Eric @ CS Techcast
Were I you, I wouldn't count on the efficay of that technique, unless you plan to have it on you're lap while attempting to engage in intercourse. - Christopher Carr via Android
"Are you friendfeeding while doing me doggy style?!?!?!" - Jonathan Hardesty
"No.............yes." - Jonathan Hardesty
So, now I need to start getting a game plan together to prepare for moving to LA. First and foremost I need to make sure my finances are in order and that I can get a job when I get out there. I've heard that work is scarce out there. That true?
Depends on what you want to do and are willing to tackle. I found it hard to find a job that both interested me and paid what I wanted. But I was only interested in working in non-profits and tightened up my search the 2nd go-round so yeah, made it a little difficult for myself. :-/ - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
Depends on the work, obviously. A lot of shows are in production and there's indie stuff (I'm assuming you want to do the film/tv/entertainment thing, right?). There's also slumming PA work, which can be under the table, but can be consistent if you prove your mettle and get in with some people who are good natured and appreciate the work. The tough thing about making your way in LA for... more... - Derrick
Yeah. I'm interested in film, but also in the tech sphere as well, so I'm definitely not limited to "trying to make my break" in the film industry. - Jonathan Hardesty
I should probably warn that there are probably going to be more posts like this in the coming weeks. Just trying to scope things out and really think hard before making any finalized plans. - Jonathan Hardesty
Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but, wouldn't it be more better if you had a job before you moved? - MVB
Spending the day / evening leveling up my WoW character. Yay. :)
@patach Woohoo. I am so awesome.
I want to be immortalized as a lego someday..
@CalamityEnsues The more I think about going out to LA, the better I feel about it, which is a good sign.
True Blood gives me something to look forward to each week.

If developers actually took the Wii seriously, we might have some good games.
This was prompted by X-play's review of Ghostbusers Wii edition btw. - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
Since the keyboard to my media pc is usb, it doesn't allow me to hit the any key when I try to install windows at startup. This makes me frowny-face in the pants...
I find @mikenayyar interesting! #followfriday
I find him bland and pedantic. - MVB
He has his moments. ;) - Jonathan Hardesty
Also, this drawing of him is spot on... - Jonathan Hardesty
That guy? Ugh. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Mike will see the humor in my comment.... - MVB
Yeah, what a jerk-face. - Jonathan Hardesty
Really, I just posted this as a "charity post" because no one really wants to be associated with him....I mean, god...I couldn't even fire the guy! - Jonathan Hardesty
I'm sure it's hard to even be around him, what with the dumpster smell emanating from his body. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I can smell it from Chicago... - Jonathan Hardesty
Fortunately, it covers my horrible B.O., so it's an acceptable trade off. - Mike Nayyar
Speak of the dumpster devil himself! :) - Jonathan Hardesty
Also, screw Mike Nayyar, I hate that guy - Mike Nayyar
I know rite?! He's such an arrogant bastard. And he smells, and nobody loves him. We should throw rocks at him. - Jonathan Hardesty
I had no idea :P - martha
I don't even know why I'm subscribed to him. I hate that guy. - Ha3rvey
Jon, your illustrations are amazing in spite of the subject matter. ;) - Josh Haley via iPhone
why thank you, Josh. I've been throwing around the idea of doing an art project in the future where I draw various friendfeeders and illustrate them in a similar manner. Might be a little bit yet before that happens though.. - Jonathan Hardesty
You should charge for it, and then people can say, "Hey, Jonathan Hardesty found a way to monetize FriendFeed, because that what you should do with Web 2.0 properties, you should monetize them, because that's what really matters with things, especially with the way the economy is now, because you have to create value, and also you need to search optimize things so that we can easily... more... - Mike Nayyar
I think we were talking about how much you suck... - Jonathan Hardesty
"rock." I mean rock...yeah, that's it - Jonathan Hardesty
bumpage - Josh Haley
I will do my best to replicate this picture IRL today - Mike Nayyar
OMG... MIKE NAYYAR IS A MAN??? - Johnny Worthington
Only recently, Johnny, only very recently... - Mike Nayyar
Holy crap! You mean I could have been seducing Mike all this time?!?! - Jonathan Hardesty via Android
@calamityensues You rang?
A chip just murdered the inside of my mouth. I go die nowz.
Well fuck a duck. Laundry time. Blegh.
long time since I've heard that phrase! My Mom used to say it! Thanks for reminding me, it's time to put mine in the dryer. - mandyvan
@heartfeltrobot Sorry to hear. :-/
