@sudarmuthu I weigh 70 kg now, owing to diarrhoea!
Oops! You seem to have problem with your digestive system, every now and then. Did you consult a good doctor?
- Sudar
Yes this time I did! The problem is junk food. After a good motion scan... Everything is with the food that i take outside. Nothing bad!Good News! Leaving India on a H1B. Got to get the VISA interview cleared this month end. Then will be flying in october. Regards, Rajesh www.raasukutty.com http://twitter.com/tuxrajesh +mailto:raasukutty@raasukutty.com

Recently my cousin's head was run over by a car. This is what's left of her helmet. My cousin completely survived because of this helmet. Please think of this before riding a bike without a helmet next time!

This happened to a friend of mine at the beginning of the month. He didn't do so good in the accident, but the helmet obviously saved his life. Thankfully is on his way home tomorrow: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit...

I used to ride my bike without the helmet even though it is mandatory in Chennai, India. But after reading this I am not even going to the next street in my bike without helmet.

I never wear a helmet. When hearing things like this, I always think of this article.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1.... In the Netherlands no one wears a helmet. It seems safe to me.
- Peter Stuifzand
I was hit while riding to work in summer 2006 & did not want anyone to touch my helmet at all costs. If my brain was scrambled, I did not want anyone to touch my egg:) I highly recommend a helmet especially if you think you will not need one! Mine was almost the same color too & manufacturer, but there is no conspiracy there:)

Wow, glad to hear your friend is doing well after that. I agree, helmets save lives. Regardless, I've many intentional close-calls by drivers who don't want to share the road. Unfortunately, this is the common attitude where I live (southern US).
- pete
we wear helmets for everything: mtb, snowboarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding & even surfing - skulls are fragile why not put a protective layer around it (i also try real hard to not ride on streets - a high percentage of drivers are oblivious to bike riders)...
- mike "glemak" dunn
I always ride in my helmet and stay to bike lanes as much as possible. Nice to know the safety tools work. Now, if I can just avoid that NYPD cop with a penchant for knocking people off their bikes. Hopefully, he won't transfer to LAPD.
- Jason Toney
Peter Stuifzand, my cousin would be dead if she did not wear her helmet. That article is BS. Wear your helmet!
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Point blank. You are a moron if you ride without a helmet. Sorry, but that's true and you're just going to play into Darwinian theory should you continue to ride without one. Any 'real' cyclist (e.g - you've been hit by a car - and yes, I have been) will tell you this without reservation. Helmets work without a doubt.
- AJ Kohn
I survived a nasty motorcycle crash in my youth and would also be dead without that helmet - which cracked in 2 like an egg (that would have been my head, as the nurse aptly put it!).
- Susan Beebe
A friend who's a cop refers to motorcycles as donorcycles whenever she sees someone riding without a helmet. I figure that applies for bicycles, too.
- Ha3rvey (not Akiva)
I was on the way to work Monday morning while it was raining, when the third car in front of me spun out of control and flipped twice into a ditch. When I pulled over to help her out she was just fine. She only had a scratch on her left shoulder from the broken window and was not hurt anywhere else. THE REASON: She was wearing her seat belt. It's nice to hear that these devices are actually helping us!
- David Cook
Awesome. I ride my bike to work everyday and I see a lot of people with no helmets on. I don't know how they do it.
- Clint Ecker
Wow! I wear mine! Didn't for years - I was lucky I guess. Thanks for posting that!

If it's nice enough to ride, I probably won't be bothering with the human-powered bike any longer. I always wear a helmet on my gas-powered bike.

As long as we won't have mountains, we Dutch will not wear those things. Otherwise we won't be able to recognise the tourists on bikes.
- Ton Zijp
Thanks for sharing - I had a mishap with a car, wasn't wearing a helmet at the time, was lucky. If they don't see you, it doesn't matter either way. Wear the helmet!
- Rick Bucich
This isn't as extreme as this but when I fell off my bike onto a sidewalk and broke my arm, I thought I was fine for a while. Later, my dad noticed that the whole front of my helmet was all scratched up and the visor in front was torn off! I realized that if I wasn't wearing my helmet on the 2 minute trip down the road, I probably wouldn't be typing this comment right now! Not that I'd be dead but I would have suffered some head damage, limiting my ability to do most things.

If you are not prepared to fix any errors, checkout stable: http://codex.wordpress.org/Install... and it does make updating very easy.

I did it (stable) until wordpress offered the update feature from within. It was fast and worked smoothly. No problem at all

I did it on my main blog (if you consider it as production). But if the site is important, then don't check out trunk, use the latest stable version.

I did it on my personal blog, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything that you need to stay up. I never had any problems, but you never know. Now that there's the auto-update, I don't bother any more. Unless there's a feature / bug fix in the dev build you need

Is there a WordPress plug-in to automatically push new posts to FriendFeed via the API?
Nicola Greco, Robert Higgins, (jeff)isageek and 100 other people liked this
Instead of just having a new post show up as a title and a link when the system gets around to checking your feed, you could push an excerpt and an image to FriendFeed the instant the post goes up.
- Ken Sheppardson
There is a WordPress plugin to support SUP, which would accomplish the "instant" part of your goal: http://wordpress.org/extend.... To get images you just need to support MediaRSS (I believe there is also a WordPress plugin for that).
- Benjamin Golub
Cool, where do I sign...........?
- Kevin J Hatton
Nice idea!
- Don Bonaddio
Nice. I will use this... Thank ;)
- Semih Masat ™
Benjamin: I knew somebody'd mention SUP :-) I'd rather not add some intermediate service/protocol, I just want the ability push directly via a single plug-in, preferably with a UI component that gives you control over what image or images are added, select the excerpt, select what groups the post goes to, etc.
- Ken Sheppardson
What I want is probably similar to what Ken you want - something to push the title & link& image as a post, and an excerpt as a comment to FriendFeed, which would then go to Twitter. The group selecter would be ultra cool on top of that
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Yeah, I'm using PUB-Sup, but what would be even more interesting is something that pushes, and tracks comments of the pushed post at the same time. I'd like to have real-time comments on each blog post.

The SUP plugin doesn't add an intermediate protocol. It does exactly what FriendFeed wants from your site. It adds a line of code to your header and pings their API everytime you publish. Works perfectly to publish posts realtime to FriendFeed (and then on to Twitter, etc.) In fact, I've still not got used to publishing a post and seeing a notification on my desktop from FriendFeed from my post a half second later.
- Joss Winn
OK, I get it, guys. I know how SUP works and I know you can use SUP and MediaRSS to accomplish what I want. But I don't want to ping some API to tell it to go pull something from a feed... I want to make a single call to the FriendFeed API designed for creating entries http://code.google.com/p...
- Ken Sheppardson
Shouldn't be that hard to build. You can do it Ken :)
- Bwana ☠
Bwana: I think Sudar has already. :-) I'm going to put his implementation through its paces over the weekend.
- Ken Sheppardson
Oh ok cool... Hmmm.. I'd try it, but I'm not sure how it'll affect Backtype Connect on my blog. I want to be sure the FF comments get pulled in correctly.
- Bwana ☠
Bwana: not sure exactly what you want to try - but in general any entry that links to your posts will be connected by BT Connect -- we do of course try our best to cut out things like auto snippets of text that appear as comments when using the FF bookmarklet.
- Mike Montano
Mike - I just wanted to be sure if I remove my RSS feed from FriendFeed and use this solution, will my comments get pulled back into my blog. I gather the plugin would have to only link to my blog from FriendFeed, and Backtype does the rest
- Bwana ☠
Yeah, it seems like once the plugin creates the entry on FriendFeed with a link to your blog post, you're home free, no matter how that entry is created.
- Ken Sheppardson
I like I like

Hi Guys, nice to know that the Plugin (Post2FF) which I created around 9 months back is of use to someone :) I am take the code dust it off and will add the new features that you requested. Stay tuned :)
- Sudar
Awesome! Thank you very much Sudar!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Of note, Sudar: it would be most handy if we could select the link that is published on the entry - either the linkt ot the blog entry or the ff.im link. (wasn't clear to me if the API actually supports this?) On most of my blog posts, I'd like to direct people straight to the post, but someone or some entries might prefer linking to the FriendFeed post/discussion
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I am done with the modifications to my Plugin to add new features like choosing the room to which the link to be posted, selecting images etc. Will release it after completing the testing. If anyone is willing to do beta testing, just ping me.

Are we able to do the revere post from FF -> Wordpress, not as a rss thing but as a post?
- Chirag Chamoli
@Chirag, I am not sure if I understood your question. Can you explain it a bit?
- Sudar
nice! like the idea Ken.

I wanted to understand If I can autopost from friendfeed to Wordpress. I am using the rss feed in the sidebar, instead I want the stuff to be added to wordpress as a post.
- Chirag Chamoli
from email
@Chirag, You can install WP-O-Mattic WordPress Plugin (http://devthought.com/project...) and use the FF rss as input to publish from FF -> WordPress. (I haven't tried it, so not sure if it will work 100%)
- Sudar
@Sundar: Thanks I will start working on that.
- Chirag Chamoli
As I understand it SUP won't work for Feedburner feeds.
- Rutger Blom
I am interested in using Sundar's plugin. Is it compatible with WordPress 2.8.3?
- Skyler Call
@Skyler Call, It should be compatible, since it doesn't use any functions which were changed in 2.8+ Anyways I will check it and will bump up the supported version in readme file.

My old Logitech MX1000 mouse - man, I can *not* find another mouse with the ergos and the sheer number of programmable buttons (5 besides the scroll/tilt wheel and std left/right buttons). I keep wanting to switch to something newer with better wirelessness, but nothing compares. Sigh.

ipod shuffle is a great way to make random lists of your entire library, then listen to it like a radio station. when it gets old, just load a new playlist. also any ipod touch knock off that you can load music/video on. good for professional use (A/V production)

I'm gonna go with Jason Wong's idea; I have a SATA/IDE to USB adapter at work, and it's very nice for backing up those files after the user has busted the OS, whether on a PC or a laptop..

Most of those "gadgets under $100" I've never seen, or perhaps seen, but didn't find them noteworthy enough to remember their brand names. How about some urls to pictures of them, peepl? This is bleeding-edge hypertext, not some telepathic writing on the wall!

Easy Bloom (http://www.easybloom.com/) for $40. It sits in your garden, collects information, and the helps you select which plants will work for the area. I had the same idea and was all excited until I learned it already existed and worked pretty dang well too. And agree with ianf, comments should be able to have pictures.

I disabled and re-enabled my plugins and the new post page is working again, but the rmlrpc still isn't working.

After doing some searching, seems that it's a known bug in the latest version. I hope they can get a fix out soon! =)
- Beau Liening
Do you have any link or ticket number of the bug that you found out?

This is the post I've found: http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/topic... I haven't found an actual ticket yet.

I just updated to WP 2.8.3 and my xml_rpc problem dissapeared. Things are much better. =)

Wow! nice to know that it is fixed (and you are happy) :)

Cool.

@sudarmuthu Way too frequent releases. a pain
Yeah, WordPress was updated 4 times in the last two months and updating every time could be a pain.

For my WordPress blog I'd like to have my category here: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/blog... shown on this page here : http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/portfol....
Nispell and Haggis (Sean Loyless) liked this
Is this possible?
- Kol Tregaskes
Yup. You basically make a template for the portfolio page and add a small WP query script to just display articles from that specific category.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Haggis, is the script generic or does it depend, e.g. on my theme?
- Kol Tregaskes
Not a WP coding expert but as far as I know the script is generic; it calls on data within WP itself.
- Kate
The script will be generic. You have to use the query_posts (http://codex.wordpress.org/Templat...) function to retrieve the posts and then you can loop through and print them.
