Is it that when people start going out, they start acting weird? I'm just plain surprised, I guess. I stopped trying to understand girls :|

Alright ladies, who wants to date Yuvi?

With all of the emotions raging around both parties in a new relationship, all sorts of weird things can happen. And this can happen whether the two parties are teenagers, or older.

Ho Ho Ho I didn't notice this one coming up!
- Yuvi
Okay, I'm not going out with anyone, I'm not 'seeing' anyone. Not that I don't want to - just that my parents would literally kill me if they come to know, and I am just going to stay out of trouble there :(
- Yuvi
Sneak out. It's healthy. Just be smart and plan things out.
- Gus
I'm sure I could do it behind their backs, not let them know, but isn't that... wrong?
- Yuvi
@Yuvi: No. It's wrong to control natural things like seeking mates.

In looking for FF alternatives, has anyone found ones that have Friend-of-a-Friend, auto-refresh (even after a period of time, like it used to before real-time), items that pop to the top with activity, and embeddable widgets that preserve inline media and comments? Those seem to be the things lacking from everywhere I look.

Are you looking for FF alternatives 'just-in-case' or are you planning on leaving regardless?
- Chris Nunz
Just in case. I'm sticking around until the bitter end, but I want to have someplace all set up to head to. Plus I want to keep reminding anyone who might be working on apps to fill the void what the things are that separate FF from the rest. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Gotcha. Well I'm not as social media-savvy as some people here, but during the whole FB + FF couple of days, Steamy(?) seemed to be the one people were talking about most as a competent alternative. Try that? I haven't yet.
- Chris Nunz
I've looked at Streamy - to me Streamy seems to be more of a SocialMedian type of thing (but I didn't use SocialMedian that much). More of a suggested RSS/news item reader rather than a lifestream aggregator with kickass community integration. Like, you can add your services, but they show up as separate widgets. I can see activity on my Flickr photos in Streamy, but it's not integrated with the rest of my lifestream.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Oh I see, thanks for the explanation. Also, people today on here were discussing how Google Reader could replace this and Twitter if you import everyone's feeds -- I think you can make folders and stuff.
- Chris Nunz
Yeah, I was working on GReader setup earlier - you have to basically approve people to allow them to comment (follow them as well and add them to a commenting-allowed group). It's probably going to be a decent replacement for the basic browsing on FF, though.

Baby Kitten Jackpot!!!!! 4 New Foster kittens and a new shelter!!! Exciting day! #foxfosterkittens

We now foster for two shelters, Palo Alto Animal Services and now the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. This is our first group with HSSV and they are just adorable. We decided to take on HSSV also because, well they asked. They were desperately looking for foster parents as they have had too many kittens this year, and Palo Alto has had a light year so I talked with everyone involved and so now we work with both. I hope it won't be too much to keep everyone's different rules straight and all, but everyone is so wonderful at both places that I think it will work out fine. These 4 were just picked up in a lot in San Jose, their mother is rather feral and ran off so these guys got brought in and I got called. Woo hoo!!! This is exactly what I needed to fill the little hole in my heart that Orion left behind. Seems to be 2 boys and 2 girls, but more updates will be coming soon I'm sure. My guess is that they are about 3.5 or 4 weeks old. We will have these guys at lest 4 weeks, maybe more.

- Rachel Lea Fox
Aden, well right now they are all super timid and not so sure about me, but I keep taking short breaks from work and popping in on them and giving scritches and talking to them and they are getting interested. The all grey one looks like he will warm up first, the black and white girl (i think) is currently the most unhappy with me and the grey and white boy (i think) is an ostrich wanting to bury his head anywhere he can. It will take time, but they will warm up.

These are all from the same litter? What a variation in coloring! You are going to have so much fun! Actually, you are already having fun, aren't you?
- Anne Bouey
Anne, yup, all the same litter. You can get some wild variation of kitten markings in a litter as not all the kittens in the same litter always have the same father. Here is a photo from a litter of 5 where there were also three looks, black and white, tiger grey and bermin white (one kitten is missing in the photo) http://www.flickr.com/photos...

Going well. These guys are showing signs of closer to 3.5 weeks old, so I think I will be getting up to feed them in 4 or 5 hours, just till I know they will eat enough.

friendfeedFilterByService - just released (greasemonkey script) - Shows only FriendFeed feed entries based on user chosen service types via either an inclusion (services to show) or exclusion (services to hide) list. http://userscripts.org/scripts...
Itachi, Brian, CannonGod and 28 other people liked this
In this initial release, selecting the services to filter is set by installing the script, then opening it to update the "Configuration" variables (near the top of the script, it's clearly marked). A future version will have a better interface than this. By default (it's meant to be changed right away by each user) the configuration is set to: filterMethod = "HIDE" and servicesToHideArr = ["Twitter", "Some other service"]. A side effect of running the script is (whether on your home feed or friendfeed.com/public or any realtime view) as new entries come into view, there is less of a smooth transition: entries more so just pop into place; the page also wiggles up and down in a more pronounced manner. Steps have been taken in the script to reduce the vertical movement, however. If you find any more caveats, let me know, and enjoy!

pretty cool. Using SHOW tumblr then SHOW bookmarklet. If there aren't any entries that normally would have been on your front page, then the page is blank. crank up the ?num=100 and then you have a better chance at seeing the entries. Way to go, Micah!

I like it. But the "SHOW"option conflicts with the Cleaner FriendFeed script when you have a lot of services in there.

Works fine now with Cleaner FriendFeed for widescreen script.

So does this get applied across the entire site? I want to hide all of Twitter in http://friendfeed.com/public, for example, but not in any of my lists. There I've got it hidden natively s.t. I only see tweets with Likes/comments.

Oh, wait... I can just set it up to work on http://friendfeed.com/public in the GM script management screen... duh...
- Ken Sheppardson
OK, this is officially slick. Thanks, Micah! Feature request: I wish I could just have it strip away or hide everything other than div#feed, I'd configure it to only apply to http://friendfeed.com/public, and I'd just stick it in it's own window (or the sidebar) as a little real-time FriendFeed ticker.

I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices.

It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments.

Come to think of it, does FF have a presence in China? I'd imagine it's blocked there. I've seen Chinese on here, but never sure if that's from China or speakers outside.

Yes, Friendfeed is blocked in Iran. Right now the papers and TV channels here are controlled by the government and our access to satellite channels is blocked too. Friendfeed and Twitter are quite vital for us now. Our main source of exchanging information and news is Friendfeed. Via Friendfeed we let everyone know that where people need help and where to go and how to help them and...

Selma: does https://friendfeed.com/ work for you?

Nope, they have blocked all https addresses, we have had to sign in to Friendfeed via anti-filters for the past few months.

The Iranian websites that people used to exchange information about the election protests in Iran are under cyber-attacks by the government forces and from anonymous sources. Many of them are down right now. These Iranian websites were our few last remaining channels to inform people. What can we do about that? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this?
- emin
i was 53rd active user in friendfeed until this filtering. now i can open FF with proxies and if i can fine. a Vpn but many Vpn here come from companies that have relations with security services, i thunk they allow us to bypass filternig and then, they will arrest who has wrote against their goals
- خیزران kheyzaran
Can't we transfer the data/databases of the sites you, iranian guys, use to any new domain we could buy? I want to help. Not by throwing rocks to "security service" forces, but, at least, by making possible for what YOU have to say to go public, worldwide.

if it is not good for a scientist to have that view then if all theories were just taken as fact and not tested, modified and updated then it would always result the same, seems to me that is the view of an Open Minded Scientist who keeps seeking something different, to make something happen otherwise thought not possible.

Shouldn't we be able to tag posts directly - without using a comment to do so? Comment - Like - Share - Hide - Tags? "Tags" should show you existing comment tags - and allow the adding of new ones.
- Tim Tyler
I'm with Tim. Genuine tagging would be a Good Thing.
- Chris Lasher
I'd love 'real' tags, but do I see the utility of leveraging hashtags, especially w/ all the tweets that come into FF. If they linkified twitter hashtags, and then also built their own tags system, it'd a) be more work for little more reward, and b) be confusing for some users, as there would effectively be two tag systems in FF. Lesser evil, and all that. *grin*
- Ken Kennedy
Brilliant! What happens to tags in tweets? Weren't they linked to Twitter searches?
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, given that hashtags in tweets link to Twitter Search, hashtags in other types of content should link to FriendFeed search, but WITHOUT the hash sign in the search term. But I agree that "real" FF tags would be even better. Maybe when you type a hashtag, it could get automatically converted into a real tag?
- Grey Drane
Really great improvement guys! It would be i nice feature to see the most popular tags. #improvement
- Jan Friman
Congrats on this awesome new feature Paul but what about #hashtags with hyphens? For example: #real-time only linkifies #real. :(Twitter has the same dilemma)

Ah, thanks Rachel, I missed that post from yesterday. All five pics do look good. (How many total did you take to select those 5-best?)
- Stephen Mack
BEX, little zoey is our foster kitten, spoiled kitty in training for someone else's home. She is very timid and needs lots of training as her rough life beginning has set her back a little. but she is doing great and loving lap cat life. We have two very spoiled kitties of our own and then the random slew of kittens that pass through. In my next life I want to be a spoiled house cat - really really spoiled like mine are!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Stephen, It looks like I had take about 27 at the time that I shared those ones, plus a few of Indiana. A few had some motion blur that I didn't like but when I was posting I was disappointed that I couldn't share more than 5, I really wanted to share 9.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Adorable. So present in the eyes. Great shot!
- Fossil Huntress
I get so excited about zoey doing the littlest things: like instigating her own playing or getting off the couch to go to her condo with her food and litter to eat or whatever and then coming back to the couch and not hiding in her bed, or being interested in what the big kitties are doing rather than just cowering. She is really a very different kitten than she was when she got here. She still has a long way to go, but she is making progress!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Your kitten is so beautiful! Great shot, too.
- Melissa R. Weintraub
Anyone in the bay area, Zoey will be up for adoption, next week most likely (she is our foster kitten). She is looking for a home with no kids (at least for a year or so) and no dogs. Other cats will take adjustment but will be fine.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I've thought it would be great to be foster mom to cats or dogs, but I would seriously not be able to resist keeping every single one.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Jannifer, the only way to resist is know that if you keep them all, that you can't keep fostering. And then how do you get all the adorable kitteny goodness?
- Rachel Lea Fox
Aaaawww how true! You must be very strong! I would cry and cry and cry if I had to give one up!
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
Oh I cry every single time. But it's worth it. I love having them all so much, when I don't have them I'm longing for them. And I know they are off to fabulous new homes because we helped them.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I'd take her if I were up there.
- Patricia
This is so true - it is helping them... I'll have to consider this!

Seriously, I suspect it was a scene like this, except on the floor of my parents' home and 2 feet away from me, that caused my fear of spiders. I can remember Mom going after one and little monsters going everywhere. HIDING.

I think I'm gonna have to take a pass on this one. As I've said before, I can deal with one spider. Maybe a half dozen. Tarantulas even. This is all kinds of No. The spiders took it too far. They're supposed to *remove* the vermin, not *become* the vermin.

of course it is always something simple - lately my downloads have been not finishing and I am in the process of figuring that out why, but when I watched what was going on in the terminal as I ended up using wget I noticed the problem was that the download was not completing. Fortunately wget keeps retrying and eventually downloaded a solid copy then using the steps mentioned earliier am installing it now. looks like a great program.

"GIMP is a an attempt at answering the call for freely distrusted image editing software. While Photoshop is widely regarded as the industry standard for all kinds of image manipulation, it’s costly and overblown for the average photographers use (ok, so I let in a *little* comparison). Yes, Photoshop has a ton of useful tools, support and plugins available, but it was never available for Linux operating system users until the introduction of Wine. And it was those users of Linux who initially requested something to run on their operating system to manipulate photographs."
