Who ever invented Microsoft ReportViewer control should be hung, drawn and quartered. Anyone know of reporting solution that can use objects

May 6, 2009 from Twitter - Comment - Like - Share

The report viewer can use objects. It's just not very intuitive. - Joel Ross

I know it can use dumb objects. I think the documentation refers to them as businessobjects but they're flat classes with simple types. I already have an extensive class structure with and I want to be able to report against it. According to the documentation I've found so far I am required to write new classes that map my existing ones to numerous flat structures. Joel, do you know if it's possible to use an existing custom class instead? - Troy Forster

I have to prepare a CMS demo for a potential client tomorrow, and keep things running around the house. Looks like a long night for me.

You can do it!!! - Chris Woodruff from twhirl

As it turns out, the meeting was cancelled. Just as well - I barely had time to prepare - Joel Ross from twhirl

I see Twitter has restored their API limit to 70/hour. Are they finally getting their act together?

That's what I was wondering as well. Until I got a limit exceeded message at 50 reqs. - Joel Ross from twhirl

I just use friendfeed, and don't really care about API limits - are you really on the juice so much you need 70reqs/hour :) - Matt Davis

And no, I don't think they've got their act together. - Matt Davis

http://status.twitter.com/ still says 20/hour where are you seeing 70/hour? - Alan Le

As you post that to twitter :-) - Joel Ross from twhirl

Rick Kierner

@mattblodgett do you have the "follow api limits" checkbox checked in the settings tab?

July 3, 2008 from Twitter - Comment - Like - Share

No, I was told to _uncheck_ that. - Matt Blodgett from Alert Thingy

@MattBlodgett, there's a new version of Twhirl out today that fixes the follow API limits functionality. - Joel Ross from twhirl

I have 5 brightkite.com invites, if you're interested.

It is so dark here. I would guess it's more like 3:00 AM than 3:00 PM.

We turned all the lights off in the war room. It's pitch black in here other than the light from our monitors. It's intense! - Matt Blodgett from Alert Thingy

I definitely need to get used to AlertThingy.

So far, I'm not impressed. The icons missing from people's tweets is realy upsetting me. Also finding a hard time distinguishing between what I have, and haven't, read already. - Matt Casto from Alert Thingy

I tried Alert Thingy, and went back to Twhirl. Still, it's a bit of a confusing interface. - Joel Ross from twhirl

the one thing I've liked about Alert Thingy is that I don't need two windows for tweets and ff unlike twhirl - Erik Lane from Alert Thingy

I'm not sure that I like seeing other people's posts just because someone I follow likes it

yeah the Like button is a gee whiz function. It could go. I do like the threaded conversations though. - Daniel Woolston from Alert Thingy

I like the threaded conversations too. But I don't need to see something from Scoble just because someone I follow likes it. - Joel Ross from twhirl

anyone else have issues with twhirl not saving your logins after exit?

I haven't seen that, and I've been using Twhirl for both ff and twitter for at least a month - Joel Ross from twhirl

wasn't an issue with twitter since I knew the pw but with ff it needs the key that I don't know. - Erik Lane from Alert Thingy

Your remote key is here: https://friendfeed.com/account... - Dave Ward from Alert Thingy

I know where to get it but I don't want to have to get it everytime I want to login to twhirl. - Erik Lane from Alert Thingy

Thinking I should start using FriendFeed solely - ignore Twitter altogether?

There is a Twitter friend importer somewhere - Joel Ross from twhirl

http://internetducttape.com/2008... - but it's kinda slow and uses the Google Social Graph. I would be willing to bet that most people use the same username here as they do at Twitter. - Patrick Veverka

That's exactly what I've been doing for a while - gave up on Twitter several weeks ago. - Brandon Wood

FF just needs a better UI. Something about it just bugs me. Not sure why though, I never actually go to the site. - Ryan Farley from twhirl

Besides, the exodus to FF will only work if everyone goes (at least everyone in your network). Not sure that will happen. - Ryan Farley from twhirl

seems that the exodus has begun - Daniel Woolston

Trying to figure out the FriendFeed client included with Twhirl. It's weirding me out.

Twhirl works on Macs, and has decent FriendFeed support. - Joel Ross from twhirl

I recently started using AlertThingy, seems decent - Steve Eichert
