“Hi, I draw a crappy webcomic. Actually the story & layout are good but the art is just sketches; has an unfinished quality. Anyway, I plan to submit it to iTunes & might be turned down, could you pls get all up in arms about it and make me instantly an icon of the free speech movement? kthnxbai”
Actually I originally announced it as a Sketch Comic Zine, which is much more cutting edge, since i pioneered the whole thing...and am the only one who does it...and who ever will, apparently... - sergiooo
Also don't have to read to understand. I killed GR on my personal account last July and didn't touch the thing for a year. And you know what? I don't really enjoy Feedly all that much *runs and hides*. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
I did this with Bloglines not long ago. It's liberating. Now I use GR. - David Young
My GReader is all screwy since Feedly got a hold of it and threw all of my FriendFeeds into it. Now, I just can't even be bothered. - Pete Delucchi
Pete, that's one of my big gripes with it as well. I see all my FF GR shares in FF, why would I want to see 'em in Feedly/GR? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Hi Pete: 3 points. 1) sorry, 2) there is an automated one click undo (see http://www.feedly.com/feedly#g...) and 3) at the end of next week feedly will push out a new version which actually correlate and group multiple "copies" of shared items. You can start to get a feel of that if you look at "the wall" page on feedly in version 1.2.18. - Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin, #2 is a relief, thank you. I feel better now. :) - Pete Delucchi
Thanks for the info, Edwin ! :) I think what I'm most curious about is how the two tools are meant to interact, or if they are meant to, and what the best case scenario is for a good Feedly experience. edit: actually i'm reading some articles about it to find out :) - sergiooo
sergiooo: feedly is built on top of Google Reader. It tries to offer a difference user experience. Some people like it. Some people hate it. Some people like to use both the feedly UI and the Google Reader UI. A lot of people use feedly on the computer and Google Reader on the iphone. As RSS and Open Social mature, I think that there will be a lot of different UI experiences built on the Google Reader platform, feedly being one of them (at least that is our hope). - Edwin Khodabakchian
Better question..if all they do is Twitter and you are hiding all Twitter entries..why are you subscribed to them still? You won't see what they're putting in anymore. - Candace Holly
I use that as a metaphor i guess, for example having %80 lastfm/twitter/recentlyplayedtracks. But if there's the occasional gem in the feed, I'll probably subscribe for a while. I've seen people reciprocate unsubscribes too, not that it matters. - sergiooo
You'll still get Friend-of-a-Friend items from that person if they like and comment. That may be worth the subscription alone. - Mark Trapp
no, because if they eventually add other services, you will see them. - Tim Hoeck
btw, for fun I just unhid almost everything and it was like suddenly having a blowdryer start in your face, heh. - sergiooo
Enhancements include the transfer of photographic qualities such as high resolution, high dynamic range, and better exposure from photographs to video. The video can also be edited in a variety of ways (e.g., object touchup, object removal) by simply editing a few photographs or video frames. - sergiooo via Bookmarklet
Ah, yes. I see all of the awesomeness which you have previously mentioned. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert

“Is there a firefox tool that will allow me to dump all of the images currently on my screen to a temp folder? Other than save as web page maybe? There are just so many awesome images on some of these sites.”
Ideally the way it would work is by highlighting an image the way the FF bookmarklet does. Hold down ctrl-shift and all images on the page are highlighted, click on it to dump to a predefined temp folder, no 'save as' dialog. - sergiooo
i would get Down Them All. It will do just that. - edythe
Yep Download-Them-All extension. I haven't used it since FF2, but it worked well. - Paul Reynolds
ha. that question makes me think of Scott Pilgrim. :) - edythe
Oh, man. Those aren't tears. I just have something in my eye. Nice post. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert
As dumb as it sounds, yes I have and it works. I hear the piece of music played when luke realizes it his turn to make a trench run. It is pretty silly, but I've done some impressive things afterwards - RAPatton
I love that part of the movie too. :) Here's an update, Lucas smiles AND Laughs now, and has learned how to do a flying Superman pose. He's also awesome. - sergiooo
We went to a baby sign language class yesterday. Even though Lucas is only 7 weeks old we can see that he does consistent sounds and movements to try to communicate his needs. It's really interesting! - sergiooo
“Let's say, just brainstorming, that someone wanted to create a flash-based blog sidebar app that works similar to Graffiti Wall, but better, and can save a user's output to an rss feed. What technologies and competencies beyond Flash would that require?”
Thanks :) i think that the serverside stuff, like managing users and reading/writing images to diskspace is what i'm clueless about. Actually it's more of an academic daydream at the mo, heh. - sergiooo
Oh, if you wanted to do a persistent thing for users, you'd need some sort of memory structure. I thought you meant to have a public RSS feed of all the stuff being generated, not an RSS feed for each specific user. That, you'll need some sort of database, wheter it's a text file (really easy, hell of insecure) or some sort of database connector. I don't know too much about the workings of AS, but I'd imagine at that point you'd need to look into flex or create a script to post things to from the flash file. So, you'd do something like POST a user name, token, filename, and whatever other metadata you want to store to a URL like /grafittadata.php which handles putting that data into a database. For the images, just write them to the file system, you'll save so many problems. Then just reference those from a URL. - Mark Trapp
