Re: Fred Wilson Dot VC - http://fredwilson.vc/post...
"I saw Phantogram open up for the XX at the Music Hall of Williamsburg during CMJ and they were incredible. Way better than the XX that night. They had a dynamic similar to Handsome Furs' live show, but less interaction between the two. Loved it. Nice pick, Fred and David!"

Re: Top Tracks of 2009 - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"Gotcha. Makes sense as I would probably have half of the Phoenix album in my top 25. 4 tracks from Humbug, huh? I gotta give that record a few more listens."

"Wilco is one of my favorite bands, and I also was disappointed by their record this year. But oddly enough, my two favorite records by them are Being There and A Ghost Is Born, which bookend your two favorites."

Re: Top 10 Records Of 2009 - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"I did a top 10 post if you'd like to have a look. Monsters of Folk was a great record that for some reason escaped me when I was doing my list.. http://www.wesleybarrow.com/2009...... Cheers."

Twitter goes down. Do you head to FriendFeed to express your thoughts in real time, Facebook, some place else?
facebook
- Wesley Barrow
I guess it would depend on whether the ff > twitter > fb stream were to get updated all at once when twitter came back. If it dumped all of my ff all at once onto my fb page things might get hairy with the folks over there in the fb walled garden

"Hey, you seem to assume an algorithm won’t be involved in processing these tweets. Basically, we’re looking beyond blogs for links. Now we’re getting them Twitter, and from people specifically mindful of holes in Techmeme’s coverage."

very interesting. a good idea now that they have human editors.

Summer intern?

Yeah, Sanjeev was also there that same summer as it turns out.
- Paul Buchheit
Crazy.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
oooh look at how young and cute Paul is! :) very cool that you saved this! What was your job title then (intern for ______)? What location did you work at? Does that # mean you were the 39,325 employee hired by M$?
- Susan Beebe
I bet I could find mine if I tried, too.
- Gabe
I wish I still had my Apple badge. They made me give it back when I left.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Do I sense a meme coming?
- Chris Lamprecht
Yeah, unfortunately I don't seem to have any pics of my Sun badge, so I can't collect the whole set :(
- Paul Buchheit
bummer! collection is busted
- Susan Beebe
my work badges are boring white - no logo..nothing - designed for max security I guess
- Susan Beebe
Paul, did you work in Redmond?
- Gary Burd
Gary, Paul and I both worked in Redmond. Paul worked on Plus! Setup.
- Gabe
Oooh I remember Plus! that was really cool and made Win95 rock!
- Susan Beebe
Wow, I had no idea that you guys worked at Microsoft. Gabe, what did you work on?
- Gary Burd
Ex-PM in Developer Tools here. Visual J++ for the um, ...
- DeWitt Clinton
Maybe it would be more efficient for everyone who didn't work at Microsoft to raise their hand.
- DeWitt Clinton
How cute ;)

I worked on Win NT, debugging OLE. It was pretty bad because the NT OLE code was fine; all the bugs were in 16-bit OLE apps. There are few things worse than debugging interactions between two 16-bit apps you don't have the source to!
- Gabe
Wow, 16 bit OLE. Why didn't you force everyone to use 32bit Word and Excel? It would've been very Apple of you.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Yup, Redmond. I think I worked in building 4, which may not exist anymore, and lived across the street at "Timberlawn". I worked on the installer for "Plus Pack for Windows 95".
- Paul Buchheit
Eric, it gets worse: one of the first apps I had to look at was Ichitaro, Japan's #1 word processor at the time. It sure would have made things easier if I could have forced everybody to only use 32-bit English apps!
- Gabe
Awesome, Paul.
- Christopher Sacca
I tried, and I can't remember my ORCL employee number any more! Does that mean I've finally put it all out behind me?
- Tudor Bosman
My Intel WWID was 10599476, but I get the feeling that they added at least 10,000,000 to the employee number to generate that value.
- Paul Buchheit
I've already forgotten my Google employee number. I think my Yahoo! number was right around 9000...
- Kevin Fox
Ok here's a picture of my current ones I mentioned - sorta boring white plan ID badges http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Susan Beebe
haha, cool... And I didnt even know that I´m apparently the only person on friendfeed who hasn´t been a summer intern at Microsoft
- Peter Efland
At least they gave you a top-30 number at Google :)

Once again proving that you're "kind of a big deal". Nice badge!

- Yuvi
I wonder if it was some kind of foresight to hang on to your old Microsoft badges, but not your diplomas.
- Clare Dibble
Nice, a blue badge. I consult for Microsoft and have an Orange badge.
- Alan Le
Wow! I was there that same summer interning for "Office Team Manager" I must have started a week or 2 before you as my employee number was 39207.
- Joe Beda ()
I think I returned my badge, so I can't remember what my employee number was. I worked on porting the standard ms installer from windows to the mac.

Sanjeev - a worthy cause for sure! :P

It was a piece of code that Ben Slivka wrote to produce cab files :)

My MS ID was #38440 @ Microsoft... There were around 17k employees when I joined in 1995.

You seem very happy in this picture. There's still so much hope and optimism in that face.

Since ramping up my Twitter usage, I have been spending way less time on Facebook. Has anyone else noticed this trend?
I use Twitter way more than Facebook anyway
- Ian May
There just isn't any conversation on Facebook. Plain and simple.
- Wesley Barrow
@Wesley. I think that sums it up for me too. Just a few dis-jointed messages every so often. Mostly comments on my status messages, that get pushed from here and Twitter in any case.

Bunch of new services added on FriendFeed: Ameba, LiveJournal, Baidu/百度空间, hatena/はてな, menéame, Fotolog, Photobucket, Dailymotion, Smotri.com, and custom RSS. I wonder what the foreign sites are like.

from Bookmarklet
Awesome Mark Trapp!
- TheBuzzMachine
Damn still no hypem.
- Wesley Barrow
No Viddler still?
- Outsanity
Not all of those are new, but it's cool to see the foreign ones there.
- Admiral Anika
they added custom rss/atom. Thanks for listenting to the community.
- Peter Hoffmann
Still no Viddler. A cryin' shame. ~~~>_<~~~
- Graham English
Good to see more services, I'll add Dopplr & uStream to the wish list.

By the way, the official way to suggest new services is by using their suggestion form: http://friendfeed.com/about...

Thanks for that Mark.

I want DeviantART!! Please, Friendfeed?
- Kristian Salonen
Love the Custom RSS! Thanks , FF.
- Chris Baskind
that is ten kinds of awesome. now we just need a FriendFeed BabelFish so the English, Persian, Turkish, Japanese, Spanish and all other language speakers can talk to each other.
- Kamilah Gill
FriendFeed's got a blog post about it now: http://blog.friendfeed.com/2008... Also new is improved Tumblr support. Sweet!
- Mark Trapp
Hmm, still no Posterous it seems... shame
- Peter Efland
No Blip.FM... Well, it's interesting to see that they've added foreign ones to the list. Hopefully, another batch will be added soon!
- deepikaur
Last.fm never has the tracks that I like on there. That's why I use HypeM instead. Am I missing something?
I seldom look for music on last.fm. I mostly scrobble my own stuff that I have locally
- Ian May
I just uncovered the fact that I can scrobble my hypem tracks on there so maybe last.fm will become more useful now.
