Could be a fun day to work from home - this is the day the flippers across the street have suddenly decided to put on a much needed new roof before selling. This is also the day that it's supposed to rain for the first time in recorded history in So Cal. Planning for the win!
Hmm they ripped off all the roof including plywood by 9am this morning. Since then nothing, nothing but rain off and on and a naked roof. My guess they hired one company to do demo and another to do the roof the next day and didn't plan on rain.

Now it's morning and you've changed it back to "Married". And you're not answering anyone's questions. No doubt soon, like in the past, you'll start complaining that people are sticking their nose into your business. Honey, you're the one putting it on FB. You don't want people to know, keep it to yourself. Oh, but then you would just complain that nobody cares, wouldn't you? And either way, nobody understands. Of course not.

The one year I ran (I train to train for the marathon; did the marathon; never ran again) I got this John Bingham t-shirt. On the back, it said, "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." But I really bought it for the front. It had the penguin and the words, Waddle On." (I didn't waddle, but I liked the penguin.) http://bit.ly/xMYskM

Happy current and post Valentine's day, FF. I was in too much of a funk yesterday to say much. Hubs rescued me with a night at a pub near the Hauptbahnhof and assistance with the chores when we got home. Hence, the smile on my face, this morning. Oh, and did I tell you I love you all! :D
You know, the nights that I might get upset that I have no one to snuggle with, Otto snugs up against my back or behind my knees and keeps me warm. When I need a hug, he steps all over me and gives me smooches. And when I'm sick, he sits at my feet or beside me quietly. There's lots of love in this little apartment. :)
I may have a bit of a broken heart lately, but I do know that I have some fantastic friends. No matter how low I feel, their love and support fills my heart with gratitude and appreciation. Somehow, I must have done something right to deserve these wonderful friendships. I cherish them always. <3

"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends...
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.
- Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations
- Bret Taylor
from email
Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :)
- Meryn Stol
hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life....

Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people.

Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :)
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api...
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope
- Jeroen De Miranda
After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?
- Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed.
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks!
- Mark Trapp
Can you post the wget version of the command line?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget.
- Mark Trapp
Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle.
- Mark Trapp
Woowoo, bgolub's password is “passwd” ;-)
- Amit Patel
Amit: I wonder how many people tested that :)
- Benjamin Golub
Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”. TechCrunch is going to love this! ;)

Yes big big thanks to the whole team for all their hard work!!

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...)
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
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
I don't mind it publishing to my wall, but I don't want it to be my status update. It worked fine before y'all fixed it! (Go ahead. Roll your eyes.) ;)
- Shawn Zehnder Rossi
I get that cannot publish message all the time, because I specifically took away its permissions to publish to my wall. If the FF app gave me some sort of control over what it put on my wall, then I'd give it permissions to do so. As it stands, if everything I posted to FF made it to my FB wall, I'd be defriended by 90% of my friends rather quickly.
- Otto
Yay for new publishing methods! stream.publish FTW!
- Jesse Stay
I don't want to publish my friendfeed updates to facebook, they're too many. I blocked it and i'm always receiving error messages on facebook.
- Oscar
On the same environment, I saw that lite.facebook.com is fast as hell! With proxies, my comments gets directly inputted while FriendFeed takes a couple of seconds, one step at a time. And the message, as Oscar said, is always present if you decide to stop FriendFeed from posting to said service when you have the application on FB. It (script) thinks it wasn't decided, as if it was the...

Got my tickets to China yesterday! And a phone call and text this morning from my credit card company asking if fraudulent activity occurred. Clearly, they haven't met JESSEH!
The following thought occurred to me as I drove my son to school this morning: what if I ran out of gas and had to walk home in my pajamas and wolf slippers (in front of all those highschoolers)? #horrified Perhaps I should rethink what I wear when I give him a ride to school.
If I would see someone dressed like that I would think there's a strong personality, obviously not interested in what others think. Good for you. It reminds me of my dad when I was a little boy. Sometimes I would ask: but what would someone think? And his answer always was: who cares what the world thinks.
- Stephan Planken

I would think "I wonder where she got those slippers."
- <3Heather<3
My godmother once gave her son a ride to school at the last minute because he missed the bus so she had to get put of the shower and head outside into the Chicago cold still mostly wet under her quickly-pulled-on clothes. Anyway, I'd think you ran out of the house late to give your son a ride. :)

Many moms at our schools show up in "morning casual". It's common enough to not give a second look. The kids seem to wear their pajamas out, on purpose, so you might get mistaken for a teenager.

I have to assume that those are made from real wolves. Wolves that you killed. With your bare hands. After swinging from a vine and diving into the river.
- I like big Botts
Eric, bless your heart. ;) LG, I would never kill a wolf! Swinging on a vine and diving into a river? That's just good, clean fun. :D Higlet... :)))

Pete, that makes me think of the ridiculous names they give these subdivision streets. My son's friend lives on "Soft Whispers." (Which I, of course, always say in a soft whisper.) Now, I wish I lived on Wolf Slippers Dr.

In Vietnam it is quite normal to wear pajamas outside during the day. These communities that are cracking down on it might find they are stepping on other cultural norms if they choose the wrong person.
