Editing geo of an entry seems not to work.

Just want to rise this question again. It is still impossible to edit geo information of a published entry. Is it going to change in the near future?

Tad, sounds like you need to be Libertarian.
- Jesse Stay
Libertarians are still a little too far left of middle for my taste. I agree with some Social liberalism, but not to the extent of extreme libertarianism. Republicans are too far right for my taste. I need something right down the middle.
- Jesse Stay
Been there, done that Jesse. For a while in the 90s I considered myself to be a hardcore anarcho-capitalist. I've realized over the years that a Libertarian government isn't suited to my own desires for humanity. The role of government should be to help hasten technological improvement and thus the Singularity. But then, I'm weird like that.

Thanks Jesse for sharing your thoughts today. You are inspiring me to keep standing up for what I believe, and not what they Party has turned into.

Republicans aren't conservative enough. However, that won't stop them from rolling over the dems in '10. Luckily, polls are showing the huge surge to conservatism in the U.S. People are finally realizing the government is not the answer.

I'm rather irked that my own school district has opted to not show this speech live. While I can understand wanting to stay on topic within the middle and high school classes, making it a district-wide policy is irritating at a minimum. The speech is *for* our kids. I remember watching these as a kid and feeling rather proud to be an American each and every time.

All I want is to be able to use FriendFeed as a Twitter client. I know I'm not alone. Why is it that Friendfeed doesn't allow you opt IN to including the ff.im link back to the conversation. How the heck do I turn this off - sometimes I want to link back to the conversation, but sometimes I don't. Users should have the choice.

- oliv21
Well said.
- practicehacker
This one change would literally result in a mass-exodus out of Twitter.com as people switched over to FriendFeed. This is the one reason no one uses friendfeed to update twitter - because every freakin message gets cut off and has a link back to friendfeed. It's so unnecessary. I get that they want people coming back to Friendfeed, but all this really does is prevent people from using friendfeed for content creation. Just be a better Twitter client, Friendfeed. Give us what we want.
- Steffan Antonas
i've always seen it as necessary since ff is so much better for conversations than twitter is - imho of course ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
I would use Friendfeed exclusively if it weren't for this one annoying feature. I could completely ignore my Twitter clients if they made this one change. people hate the ff links Twitter posts because it shows that youre...ahem...not using Twitter.
- Steffan Antonas
while I'm on this rant...Friendfeed also needs to give users the option to turn off "auto-expand" for links within each post. It's a major knock to usability - nobody wants to see the entire link to anything. no one cares and it makes cut and paste a pain in the butt.
- Steffan Antonas
The reason for the short URL in the tweet sent to Twitter is due to FriendFeed's duplication detection: if the link wasn't there, and you fed your Twitter account back into FriendFeed, you'd have an infinite loop (Post something to FriendFeed, which then gets posted to Twitter, which then gets posted to FriendFeed, which then gets posted back to Twitter again). The shortlink tells...

- Mark Trapp
The link shouldn't have be used for loop detection, the source paramter is returned via the API so that should be enough surely.
- Paul Kinlan
Paul, I believe it's part of their duplication strategy, not necessary all of it. Benjamin Golub said this wrt the link on June 20: "You cannot post to Twitter from FriendFeed without the ff.im link at this point in time. The link is used to provide context and a way to get to the conversation (comments and likes) on FriendFeed. It is also very useful when we crawl your Twitter so we do not re-import entries that were created from FriendFeed causing duplicates."
- Mark Trapp
Agreed. FF is very close to a perfect Twitter client.
- Ted Roden
In addition to dupe detection, it pulls people back to FF for coversation. Have you ever tried to have a conversation between more than two people on Twitter?
- Jason, Craving
from iPhone
Mark - I believe that Paul makes a good point RE: the duplication of content issue.
- Steffan Antonas
@Jason and @Ted - I agree with you on how bad Twitter is at conversations. Friendfeed is fantastic at this, but not every post is meant to be a conversation. While you might have solved the duplication issue with a ff.im link being posted to Twitter every time, it doesn't solve the human issues it can cause. #1 Many people follow a link expecting something other than exactly what they...
more...
- Steffan Antonas
Please don't misunderstand - I LOVE friendfeed. I just think that this tweak would really improve the human part of the experience and get more people using Friendfeed exclusively.
- Steffan Antonas
@Mark - Let's also not forget that many people who use twitter, don't use FriendFeed. The argument that having a conversation in FriendFeed = better doesn't work that well when it requires people to set up an account first (even though I think they should ;-)).
- Steffan Antonas
I don't see why FriendFeed's only path towards being useful is to be a Twitter client: it's a social network on its own that happens to allow cross posting to Twitter, much like Flickr or Google Reader or even Facebook. It's to let your Twitter friends know that you're doing something on FriendFeed that they should check out. While there are many people who use Twitter that don't use...

totally with mark on this one - I want my twitter followers to come to ff and don't import my tweets to ff - there are plenty of twitter clients in their cottage industry - I like tweetdeck currently
- mike "glemak" dunn
from iPhone
Absolutely right on the money. If this was changed, I think we would see a lot more interactions. Right now when FF posts to Twitter it just looks like spam.
- Ben Hanten
@Mike - What I'm proposing wouldn't stop you from including the ff.im link if you wanted...all I want is to be able to have the choice to turn it off or include it every time I post. I'm not saying that Friendfeed should focus on being a Twitter client...I'm saying that since it allows you to update Twitter, you should be able to chose whether you include a link back to Friendfeed in your Twitter update preferences. That's all. I think there are a lot of people who would appreciate that small change.
- Steffan Antonas
@Mark - Thanks for being so involved in this conversation. I appreciate your candor and your opinion. I hope that you don't think that I'm suggesting that the only way that FriendFeed could be useful is to be a Twitter client. Please see my previous comment to mike above.
- Steffan Antonas
@Ben - I think a lot of non-friendfeed converts and Twitter purists have similar feelings...which is what I'm alluding to. It's not necessarily right, but a lot of people who use twitter exclusively have a negative reaction to the ff.im link - which ends up hurting who? The person posting! So what happens? people stick to twitter for twitter and friendfeed for friendfeed. One small change could pull more people into using Friendfeed for everything.
- Steffan Antonas
ah choice - ok got it (not that i think ff/fb would do it since their goal doesn't seem to be a twitter client)
- mike "glemak" dunn
@Mike - haha. yeah all I'm talking about is the choice. I'd think that ff/fb would love this option because it pulls people away from twitter and gets them to stay in friendfeed - isn't that what a Twitter killer would want to do...ie become the primary place for posting?
- Steffan Antonas
FriendFeed filters the ff.im link to stop repostings for example if I posted something in my feed it creates a ff.im when it gets sent to Twitter - it would bring that back which would get annoying ;)
- Nicholas James
Nicholas - see Paul Kinlan's comment: "The link shouldn't have be to used for loop detection, the source parameter is returned via the API so that should be enough surely"
- Steffan Antonas
Yup, I wish for that too.
- Meryn Stol
I've railed about that before as well... Especially when the tweet is less than 140, but then FF tacks on the URL and cuts off your message!
- Brandt Krueger
Yeah. That would be the other problem. I agree. It's irritating. FF should automatically subtract the # of characters the link will take up and factor it into the character count.

In that he is still wearing his underpants whilst sitting on the toilet? Or that they have a toilet just off the living room? I think it might be the home of an elderly person so it is quite possible that having the TV so close to the living room is part of the accessibility requirements. Note the old person's handle next to the toilet? Have I analysed this a little too much? =P

It was the summer of '92. I got my first real C compiler - bought it at the ham fest.

2.0?

Yup, 2.0. It was all downhill from there. For some reason that's still the fastest C compiler I've ever used, even though it was running on a 25 MHz 386.

Wow this is close to when I got Turbo C++ 1.0, maybe? ~1992.
- Michael Herf
In 1989 I was entrusted with the first Mac-port of MicroEmacs 3.9e source code (compiled with Aztec C) by a guy who just got hired by Microsoft, and later rose to become one of their division managers (Hi Earle!). It fit on a floppy, but was a dog to download at 1200 baud.

I have the very same disks. I was recently reminiscing about them and my inability to throw away tech detritus on SuperUser (http://superuser.com/questio...).
- Tom Horn
Turbo C 2.0 was pretty much the pinnacle of C compiler speed. Everything from then on was slower because they keep on adding features. The whole Turbo C is probably smaller than a typical C++ STL Hello World program.
- Gabe
Did ya play it till your fingers bled? :)

I bought Modula-2 for the Amiga in the late 80's and had no clue what I was doing.
- Rodfather
I had a somewhat irrational dislike of C back then. So I did Pascal.
- Wirehead
I stuck with BASIC variations forever... GFA Basic, AmigaBASIC, STOS, AMOS... until I bought a "Learn C Programming" book around '92. That put me off code entirely. :D
- Roger Benningfield
I remember the Turbo C debugger was the first proper IDE I used. That DOS GUI create watches on variables blew my mind. My first departure from printf debugging.

Borland may not have invented the IDE, but as far as I'm concerned they perfected it.

Ah, good old Turbo C (Turbo Pascal was good too). I'd have to disagree slightly that it was all downhill after 2.0 -- I thought it was a great product up through 3.1. But they took a serious nosedive in the 4.x period, with the switch to Windows. After that it was all Watcom for me, at least for DOS/Windows games. The tools were ugly, but they worked really well.

- Charlie Anzman
I was the Rochester, NY hamfest. I was never a ham though -- we just went for the tech flea market. I always loved overhearing conversations where people referred to each other by their call sign (e.g. "I just had lunch with WA2AAB and KA0GQI"). I guess it was kind of like Twitter ;)

i remember turbo C. What is wrong with me.

I paid much more for ordering Turbo C 1.0 - but it was so exciting to use a real programming language.

Those were good days and investment as well.

'92? seriously? I was at high school running a pirate ftp site out of my dorm room (ethernet baby!) ME and a buddy were hacking up our own version of dikumud running on the schools sun "server". I don't know when I got my first C compiler, but it must have been < 1990. I remember it came on a disk in a "Teach yourself C" book. Good times.
- Joe Beda ()
Joe, this was my "first real C compiler" because I first tried to learn C by downloading some freeware C compiler from a FidoNet BBS along with a "learn C" text file (I was very cheap). The problem is that the compiler was not complete, so half the things in the "learn C" text file didn't compile. C was my first language (I never did Basic or any of that), so I was also learning to program, not just learning C. Needless to say, it was difficult.
- Paul Buchheit
I approve of this thread.
- Ted Roden
My first C compiler was in a class at a community college around 1989. We used Mix C, which seems to still exist: http://www.mixsoftware.com/product...

Paul, exactly - Ham Radio was the original "microblogging" network. Not only were we required to keep our messages short, we couldn't use a real alphabet. Imagine if Twitter were all Morse Code. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Hams!!!!! Funny, I just saw this and earlier today I posted a pic of my dad with his gear. http://ff.im/5CH8z He (and many others) is disappointed that learning morse code is no longer required.

BTW Paul: those aren't low-density floppies. If those are 360k, they are double-density floppies. Regular low-density floppies held either 160k or 180k depending on whether they were 8 or 9 sectors per track.
- Gabe
13 years late to the party (1969), I started using C in 1982. Started with Fortran, 6502 machine language (e.g. assembly language without the compiler), Basic, Cobol. Most of my "coding" is in Excel & HTML these days.
- Mitchell Tsai
I had those 'Turbo-C' compiler 5.25" floppies too, Paul! Aw.. souvenirs..
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Turbo C rocked! Love that compiler.
- Diego Barros
My first C Compiler was Power C on the Commodore 64. http://lyonlabs.org/commodo... Now that's going back a long way. I gave up and went back to assembler. Not many people doing C on the C64 :)
- Diego Barros
Yes, Turbo-C rocked! Turbo-C++ too. And Turbo-Pascal was a revelation! (at least for me: changed my life ;-))

I used Turbo Pascal. My first C compiler was THINK C (on the Macintosh).
