Wow, looks like somebody bumped this!
- Kevin Fox
I think there were a bunch of spam comments made to some 2009-era posts by FF employees. For some reason even after the spam is nuked, the post stays bumped.

Yes, I blocked a spammer that was bumping old posts about FF themes and what not.

Well, let's see this as an opportunity to raise a virtual glass to Ben and FriendFeed-that-was!
- Kevin Fox
It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.

Hey Shawn, Just saw this thread and always open to feedback - what do you think we can do to improve Mashable in your eyes? Thanks in advance, Pete
- mashable
WoW....Mashable!....errrrr....heyyyyy....ummmm....never met anyone famous before, Hiiii....no no J/K So you’re serious in asking your question? So to your point, you’re HOT right now, but YES, lacking in really key areas, but nonetheless you’re raking in the money.
- The Real sofarsoShawn
To your question specifically, as @Mashable’s grown you’ve aggrandized & annexed territory over reaching beyond sufficient networks and to answer you question appropriately if you serious and in asking what you can do to improve in my own eyes, we gotta do this in a manner more appropriate than a FF thread. So i Ieft you my info at mashable.com, lemme know, I am severly curious and interested to see now what you think, and yea my apologies as to what I said. Im seriously surprised you care.
- The Real sofarsoShawn
always interested in making mashable better! you've got my details I think if you wanna mail thoughts over - saw your mail come in earlier
- mashable
Yeah you already mentioned as much, but read above again. Mashable better in what terms?In what areas? With what criteria? And how would you be measuring: both qualitatively/quantifably? Through my eyes is far to{ ambigously metaphorical (pretty colours vs how things are understood and through what POV etc etc) otherwise I'm just pissing against the wind.

The Cost Of FriendFeed: Roughly $50 Million In Cash And Stock [Now worth roughly $437.5 million] - http://techcrunch.com/2009...
Phil Harrison, tiryaki, T-Bone Tsali, FF Cherokee and 13 other people liked this
"$32.5 million in stock..." "It's value is derived from the $6.5 billion common valuation [of Facebook]." Facebook's most recent valuation on the second markets was around $85 billion. ~13x what it was at when Friendfeed is purchased. Stock options are now theoretically worth $422.5 million, plus the $15 million in cash.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
from Bookmarklet
This is just damn.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I wonder what would have happened if FriendFeed's owners hadn't already enjoyed previous success in other ventures. Would they have been like Twitter and insisted on a higher amount of cash vs. stock? (But then again, if FriendFeed's owners hadn't already enjoyed previous success, perhaps they wouldn't have had the knowledge or the connections to make FriendFeed attractive to Facebook.)
- John E. Bredehoft
John, I'd say they were confident in the stock, as Paul posted this, when Facebook was worth $15 billion, the year before. http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2008...
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Cost more than the Color app.
- Outsanity
The market collapse of 2008 made a nice little dent in Facebook's value, and opened a pocket of what could have probably been perceived as about $100 million, at least. I wonder if that played into the decision any.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Of course this is just conjecture, and as such may suffer from narrative fallacy.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I'll believe Facebook's large valuations after the IPO.
- Vezquex
Vez, I've put a conservative value on them for $30 billion, based on old revenue/profit estimates, but still I can see them at 2-3x that though.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF

- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Well.

My guess for 2012 will be $9B in revenue

- Ivan Zuzak
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
Thanks God it is New API.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
from iPod
Nice progress here with this release!
- Micah
I love it!
- friday night
Why is wget questionable?
- Gabe
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.

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! ;)

Talk to Scoble about getting you guys on Rackspace :)
- Jason Cronkhite
from Alert Thingy
Jason: we would love to host FriendFeed but any hoster will screw up from time to time so I would rather win their business on the strength of our technology and service. Our CEO puts his personal cell phone out there (I don't know of any other hosting company CEO that does that, plus mine is +1-425-205-1921). not to mention I have some major motivation to make sure FriendFeed stays up. :-)
- Robert Scoble

Thanks! I almost sent SOS via Twitter...but u guys were fast! :D
- Roshan Ramachandran
Oh, and it was nice of you guys to arrange your downtime for when I was flying and off the net! :-)
- Robert Scoble
The upside is I saw the 'new and improved' twitter web interface for the first time. When do I have time to do that normally :D
- Micah
@scoble, that's just it. I've only known Rackspace to screw up once and it was due to some guy driving a car into the data center. Plus, all the other perks you mentioned.
- Jason Cronkhite
Andy, long time :)
- Micah
Something changed with this downtime, didn't it? All images are now hosted on friendfeed-media.com instead of the old i.friendfeed.com

Mitch, the friendfeed-media change was deployed yesterday and unrelated to the outage.

Favorite sci-fi space ship names...
Iván Abrego, NotdaBOTTurlokin4, The Amber and 16 other people liked this
Heart of Gold from HHGTTG is a good name, but I always pictured it shaped like a running shoe, rather than a sphere.
- Andy Bakun
Just about every name in Iain M. Bank's Culture Novels. I'll BRB with some samples.
- Anika
Millennium Falcon, obviously. It's such a sports-car sounding name.
- Rob H.
I'm browsing Larry Niven and Known Space on wikipedia right now, and there are some really good ones there. The Long Shot and The Lying Bastard.
- Andy Bakun
Here's some for inspiration: http://conservationreport.file... Although admittedly, these aren't very individually interesting. Lexx is a pretty good name.
- Andy Bakun
The Halo series has some good ones as well; UNSC Pillar of Autumn, UNSC In Amber Clad, Truth and Reconciliation, Shadow of Intent and so on.
- Rob H.
Damn, those are good. Truth and Reconciliation reminds me of the weapon named Reason in Snow Crash ("I'm sure they'll listen to Reason").
- Andy Bakun
Okay, here's a few ship names: Size Isn't Everything, Hand Me That Gun And Ask Me Again, Youthful Indiscretion, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Just Read The Instructions, Problem Child, I Blame My Mother, I Blame Your Mother...there's a lot more.
- Anika
You almost can't go wrong. Serenity, Star Destroyer, USS Enterprise, Starship Bistromath...
- Vezquex
Ah, the Bistromath. Damn, I should have thought of that one.
- Andy Bakun
i always wanted to see the Bistromath realised on screen. probly never happen, now.
- Joe The Sausage
Is the Hand Me that Gun And Ask Me Again referred to as just The Hand Me or The Ask Me Again?
- Andy Bakun
Those Banks names are pretty funny. Is there some reason they're like that (those aren't humor books, right)?
- Rob H.
I always liked the way The Defiant implied serious kickassitude.
- Andy Bakun
I always loved the Star Destroyer names on the XWing games http://www.theforce.net/swtc...
- WoH: Minding her Botts
I don't know. I think the Culture novels are pretty funny. There's an underlying satirical look at wealth's role in society. The droid/human relationship is humorous, as the droids seem to be the Voice of Conscious/Mom. And considering the heavy violence, in which most of the ships are introduced to you, it's nice to have a moment of levity.
- Anika
Also keep in mind that some of the ships are sentient beings and play heavy roles in the stories.
- Anika
I liked "Nostalgia for Infinity" from Revelation Space (Alastair Reynolds). In the epilogue for Galactic North, he admits that his ship names have been inspired by the culture novels and other sources.
- Matt M (inactive)
Ah, yes...Reynolds did have some great ship names. I totally assumed he was inspired by Banks. We named our daughter after a character in Revelation Space.
- Anika
Anika, that's awesome. :) Just pulled the book to confirm: he actually said that "he bows to noone in his admiration of Ian M Banks", but "his ship names were a direct pinch from M. John Harrison's The Centauri Device, not the Culture".
- Matt M (inactive)
Nice. I've never read any of John Harrison's work. If I had read that in the book, I would have searched it out. I have a bad habit of not reading the author blurbs.
- Anika
I couldn't stop reading after that book ended, so I plowed right through the epilogue hoping to hear that he's planning on continuing the series, picking up some interesting tidbits. It's hard to reach the end of a deep series like that.
- Matt M (inactive)
Good list, WorldofHiglet. Accuser, Thunderflare, Inflexible and Death's Head.
- Andy Bakun
That ship-size comparison reminded me of another I really liked: Agamemnon from Babylon 5. Greek heros make good ship names.
- Matt M (inactive)
Nostromo.
- andrei_c
Reynold's Revelation Space naming convention used by the Ultras, transhuman spacefarers: Nostalgia For Infinity , Gnostic Ascension
- Ken Chen
Matt, those books are good. I'm currently re-reading Ilium, soon to be followed by Olympos, but It think after I'm done with Simmons I'll revisit the Revelation Space world.
- Anika
Ilium and Olympos were such a good read (read them recently after a re-read of the Hyperion Cantos). Loved the Mahnmut and Orphu storyline. I'm just about to start my first read-through of Culture tonight.
- Matt M (inactive)
Serenity and Millenium Falcon are my favorites. Of course, I don't watch a lot of sci-fi with space ships (I watch more of the supernatural sci-fi).
- Curdy G
Anika++ Ian Banks. My favorite was "Very Little Gravitas Indeed"
- mikepk
or maybe "Xenophobe"
- mikepk
I really like the Culture names here. Maybe I should read the series. The Halo names are great too.
- Andrew C (✓)
It's a really fun series to read, Andrew.
- Anika
Highly recommend Banks. My recommendation is usually to start with "Consider Phlebas", I think it's his first culture book and in my opinion, it's the most 'space operatic' of them. I think it's a good intro to the Culture.
- mikepk
Anika, have you ever read Bank's non sci-fi stuff?
- mikepk
Just picked up Consider Phlebas, after running into the ship names list for The Culture on wikipedia. Sounds really interesting.
- Andy Bakun
It is a very good book. My husband seems to like Player of Games better.
- Anika
Oops! Just read through this thread again and noticed Mike asked me something. No, I haven't read any of Banks non sci-fi stuff. I've been meaning too.
- Anika
Does the Nebuchadnezzar from the Matrix count?
- Roberto Bonini
Any of the Culture ships in 'Looking to Windward'
- Toby Graham
This thread inspired me to start reading the Culture novels a few months ago. I have to admit that they are by far the best ship names.
- Matt M (inactive)
I still have not finished Consider Phlebas, but I did start it... barely.
- Andy Bakun
The Normandy from mass effect is pretty awesome.

Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

- Kol Tregaskes
Seems exactly like Facebook. Not terribly exciting.
- Vezquex
The big difference between Facebook and Google+ (that I can see from a very quick look) is that you can share to certain groups of friends instead of ALL of them. And that you can create many groups. The Sparks feature looks very interesting and I really do like the UI.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, sharing with specific groups of friends possible with Facebook. You can list your friends and then hide a post from lists or show it only to those lists.
- batuhan icoz
Sounds long-winded? Either way I prefer Google+ over Facebook (a lot more) but I'm not sure it's as good as FriendFeed. Saying that I think it's only time I'll move to Google+. Like I say a lot on here, it's all down to the people and I see a LOT of FriendFeeders over there there already. The features are important too (though secondary) and I hear the Google dev team are adding new things all the time.

Hi Tina!
- Aron Michalski
I figured it would take 3-6 months for a default list - but they did it even sooner! The problem is that celebs have no desire to interact with normals. Twitter allows them to spread the message with just talking to, here they want you to talk with - that won't work. But what the freak do I know, I don't have 100,000 followers so my thoughts are useless apparently.
- Allen Stern

Tina Chase Gillmor, Kevin Costain, Nir Ben Yona and 4 other people liked this
Waiting for the famous call. I hear John Borthwick (a Venture Capitalist from UK) will be on the call today along with most of the usual suspects.
- Robert Scoble
ok then.
- Aron Michalski
:-) Of course we're also testing out the new Skype, which is causing problems.
- Robert Scoble
stand by
- Steve Gillmor
Hey Aron, Robert. Getting a rare chance to listen live.
- Amyloo
hi there. been a while!
- Aron Michalski
Hey everyone!
- Nir Ben Yona
Hi Aron. Hope your weekend is treating you well.
- Nir Ben Yona
Aron, yup, not everybody has wild-ass jobs like you! Most are more regular and mundane. Hi Nir.
- Amyloo
Hi Amyloo ;)
- Nir Ben Yona
ah, I'm kinda rocking out to spotify ... guess I'll turn that down now.
- Laura Norvig
amazing that spottily isn't available in Canada, but not surprised either
- Michael Roberts
hi, all!
- Jerome Hughes
hey j
- Amyloo
hi a - it's good to be half back
- Jerome Hughes
A half back? Like a tail back?
- Aron Michalski
yes, but at the laundry
- Jerome Hughes
like adding yourself into a list vs. leaving yourself out, provides frame of reference of flow in time
- Jerome Hughes
Is this interesting for those who get about 5 responses a week on Twitter?
- Aron Michalski
Scoble, you see the profile icons in Google Chrome 15?
- Vezquex
It's nice to know when someone is following you.. other clients do this..
- Kevin Costain
if you follow those who interact
- Jerome Hughes
I wonder...
- Aron Michalski
I guess I'm gonna go out and work on tweeting something worth responding to...
- Aron Michalski
gesture bleed from service to service, have been seeing some such things on #FB for a long time "x and x are now friends" though possibly more privately
- Jerome Hughes
Showyou is interesting...
- Aron Michalski
Showyou really rocks!
- Nir Ben Yona
will make thumbnail more important
- Jerome Hughes
sorry JohnTaschek -I dont know why I lost #4 but I did and cant fix the problem
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Gotta figure out where that scrape occurs...
- Aron Michalski
Tina -- I think xfinity was jealous of my 4G speeds and something was lost. I'll be lurking here on FF.
- John Taschek
BBM; Anarchy in the UK song in new ad...
- Aron Michalski
False. Teens love the apps, which you can only get on iOS or Android.
- Vezquex
It's all about control, no?
- Kevin Costain
BBM network is fast, realtime and avoids the cloud.
- Aron Michalski
http://action.openrightsgroup.org/ea-acti... petition against twitter blocking
- Kevin Marks
For many years it was the absolute best way to communicate in realtime internationally without additional charges.
- Aron Michalski
So crazy to be frightened of the medium. Was it Doc Searls who talked about the silliness of considering monetizing your front porch? Same thing. Blame the front porch if someone is conspiring on it.
- Amyloo
they will create chaos here if they cut communications off when they think they should. what?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
An API for Google Maps that shows zombies where the riots are occurring?
- Aron Michalski
is Blackberry going to further lose business users by association with rioters?
- Kevin Marks
iPod Touch for Christmas.
- Vezquex
Have fun, missing the gang, have company over today.
- Christian Burns
from Android
The first thing they used to do in a coup was close the newspapers and seize the TV stations.
- Aron Michalski
The revolution will not be televised?
- Vezquex
exactly - sieze the central control
- Kevin Marks
no, but it will be streamed live!
- Laura Norvig
RIM could work the anti-establishment angle for marketshare ;-)
- Aron Michalski
But now if you close the cell network, the info is delayed and the realtime nature avoids the momentum.
- Aron Michalski
your quote information has been delayed by 20 minutes
- Jerome Hughes
so you set up cell scramblers for the mob frequency, the fuzz uses the upper freqs.
- Aron Michalski
Then, as is being mentioned, triangulate and use the cell phones as homing beacons.
- Aron Michalski
that's a scary thought, aron. we're lambs.
- Amyloo
they don't need to install chips under our skin; we're holding them to the sides of our heads.
- Aron Michalski
Burner phones and limited connectivity is the safest wat to use the service.
- Aron Michalski
our addiction is their greatest ability to track us, if they're cops, advertisers or data miners.
- Aron Michalski
We freely give our preferences and location for STICKERS. They get a bit more.
- Aron Michalski
you have to have the input to filter the output
- Jerome Hughes
Noise control is only important to those who actually listen.
- Aron Michalski
https://plus.google.com/notific... lets you filter
- Kevin Marks
I just realized Robert has been talking about filtering for years. I think he's a closet librarian.
- Laura Norvig
aaah, here's the class argument. You want to mine my data Scoble? I guess I'll have to become more popular.
- Aron Michalski
:-)
- Robert Scoble
Klout shout give points for shutting up. Our fearless leader often says that what is not said can be more important.
- Aron Michalski
Robert only cares about filtering because he has a million friends. Under 1000, who cares?
- Vezquex
Scoble is a hoarder. It's an interesting realm to be in, data hoarding but it's not for everyone. Or for that matter, most any individual other than Scoble.
- Aron Michalski
surely K counts babbling against you, etc.
- Jerome Hughes
not you specifically, Aron :D
- Jerome Hughes
He doesn't have access to my stream, as he stated a while back that he doesn't care. He lost my vote and access to my data.
- Aron Michalski
I don't look at his either. One less filter needed.
- Aron Michalski
Trying to decipher what Steve just said about Google Search and Twitter.
- Darren
More people does not equal more interesting!!!
- Aron Michalski
More interesting people equals more engagement.
- Aron Michalski
if you built NYC from scratch it would be like Brasilia
- Kevin Marks
If you built NYC from scratch again it would suck and not be NYC.
- Aron Michalski
Twitter hasn't evolved organically in over 2 years. If they were, they wouldn't have moved against the developer community that made them such a success story.
- Darren
+1 Darren
- Aron Michalski
+2 Darren
- Nir Ben Yona
and now that they have a reason to... let a few drops out of the pipeline
- Jerome Hughes
Jack on, Jack off.
- Aron Michalski
HE SAID "TRACK!" Take a drink.
- Vezquex
Anytime he says Track I inject a cocktail of valarian root and Cymbalta into my neck.
- Aron Michalski
…, Synthesize, Harmonize… http://www.pbs.org/idealab...
- Jerome Hughes
shock absorber
- Jerome Hughes
2 words: Games + Hangouts
- Darren
Hence the hoods.
- Aron Michalski
with enough funding
- Jerome Hughes
Imagine; parenting.
- Aron Michalski
yup. Ever look at your Picasa account and its facial stuff?
- Aron Michalski
ding ding ding
- Darren
G+
- Darren
John T... can you hop on now?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
or a basket gets woven
- Jerome Hughes
aaaaaaand the instant upload. Before you know they have it, they have it.
- Aron Michalski
Scoble, it's less about owning your own data and more about being able to personalize your experience.
- Darren
No chance for Heello unless they manage to penetrate the Chinese market or so.
- Nir Ben Yona
Putting back on my decoder ring.
- Darren
Flipboard: The full page ads included in the articles...
- Aron Michalski
which is little compared to its relations to other such items and their originators / consumers
- Jerome Hughes
that's Dave Winer
- Kevin Marks
send back a dm advising to reset password, most respond apologizing
- Jerome Hughes
DM? From people you don't know? Hmmm.
- Aron Michalski
drop your applications and change your password it should go away - some are from those you "sort of" know
- Jerome Hughes
well, scoble follows a lto fo people he doesn't know
- Kevin Marks
No different than any message on Facebook "I can't believe I can see who's looking at my profile".
- Darren
it's from people you follow
- Kevin Marks
"Did you really say this about me? one of your followers sent me this"
- Jerome Hughes
"One of my followers is saying really bad things about you heres the profile"
- Jerome Hughes
I guess it's a disadvantage to those with tens of thousands of people in their circle.
- Aron Michalski
Steve, they've provided 80% of what they're offering in the streaming APIs for the last 2 years.
- Darren
or 5k they manage - interesting how many turn out to be actual and hoodwinked instead of calculating
- Jerome Hughes
oh the irony.
- Aron Michalski
should say "Spending" event.
- Aron Michalski
or optimization, finding what matters
- Jerome Hughes
kind of like using a firehose as a Waterpik.
- Aron Michalski
parts per million -> trillion
- Jerome Hughes
I'm thinking about joining a photo sharing service where I only follow VCs who share food photos. Imagine what I could learn then!
- Aron Michalski
if there were another service's flow, perhaps
- Jerome Hughes
I want photos of rich people's food...
- Aron Michalski
...with a filter for brussel sprouts.
- Aron Michalski
smell-o-vision
- Jerome Hughes
I'll never miss a rare steak again...
- Aron Michalski
that was one thing I did this week, I patched nanoTweeter so it worked agin
- Kevin Marks
"I don't care about that". Yup, social is the wrong word for some people.
- Aron Michalski
Try talking to one person about one thing that actually matters.
- Aron Michalski
valuable workarounds
- Jerome Hughes
I just realized how utterly and completely fraught with jargon these weekly talks are. I live in two worlds. Most of my friends would be sure this is a different language.
- Laura Norvig
when is the google plus api coming?
- Michael Roberts
Thanks Kevin.
- Aron Michalski
they didn't say yet
- Kevin Marks
Thanks. Cya next time!
- Nir Ben Yona
thanks Tina, thanks everyone!
- Aron Michalski
great show!
- Michael Roberts
thanks, all
- Jerome Hughes
thanks to everyone. can't say enough how much we love and enjoy the chat and how much it adds to the show.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
be neat to have a post-Gillmor Gang - google plus hangout
- Michael Roberts
I'm glad to bring the bitterness and hold the brussel sprouts.
- Aron Michalski
anyone is free to create a hangout -
- Tina Chase Gillmor
this is the one hour a week I'm allowed to slack off...back to the grindstone...
- Aron Michalski
BTW Tina, they pushed us back to Wednesday next week. But' I should be there until Sept 10th or so.
- Aron Michalski
looking forward to it Aron
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Moe - I never left. I think the conversation left me -- but it was in great hands with the Danny and Robert discussion.
- John Taschek
"hello?"
- Vezquex
