hao; firefox's paint delay is 100ms in FF3 and 250ms in FF2; if you set your initial setTimeout to 251ms it won't block the page loading in FF2 - Michael J Cohen
Thanks for the tip, Michael! I'll put that in there. - Hao Chen
"Text reads:
I was watching inconvenient truth the other day and theres the bit where it shows the sea level rising really high and flooding most of the world. Well i live near the sea, and don’t want to drown, so i got to thinking. Maybe if we lower the sea level a bit, when the water level rises then it won’t rise high enough to flood.
Anyway, heres the plan. Everyone who can should take a bucket of sea water and pour it down the sink. If lots of people put the effort in, we could lower the sea level substantially and create a better world for our children to live" - Dave Riddell via Bookmarklet
I can't stand mac and cheese, but I am with you on simplicity. And hubby said nom nom. - Michelle Martinez
I _am_ a food snob, and what you just described (Kraft Dinner for our Canadian friends) sounds awesome. - Dave Roth
@shey this is one of those things that i don't mind being ridiculed over - i've had some damned good food in my life and in the right circumstances mac n cheese holds its own with all of it @anna das' right! @michelle it feels like you just told me you don't like chocolate - Marco
There are so many toddlers out there who will tolerate nothing but Kraft Mac n Cheese that a lot of restaurants keep boxes of it on hand. I don't see why adults cannot ask for it too... - Denton Gentry
lol @dave is that really what they call it? I am thinking back through the lyrics of...omg YOU'RE RIGHT they call it Kraft Dinner in "If I had a million dollars"!!!!!! - Marco
Ha ha ha, I really don't like chocolate! The only time I could tolerate chocolate was when I was pregnant. - Michelle Martinez
I know, I know. I have to hear about this all the time from my dark chocolate loving mom. I like white chocolate, surely that should count for something?!? - Michelle Martinez
oh - you like white chocolate - that totally counts - I can't stand dark choc - milk choc followed by white choc is what i love - Marco
I am one of five people on the planet who *loathe* mac-n-cheese. - Roger Benningfield
@roger I am going to block your comment from my memory so that I can go on believing that people inherently desire good things (kidding of course) - Marco
Heh. As a kid, my mom had to force me to eat m-n-c... to me, it was like a plate full of kyptonite Brussels sprouts - Roger Benningfield
I've lived in Chicago, San Diego, Seattle... there are rednecks everywhere. - Paul Reynolds
I've seen them everywhere I've gone, Paul. But as someone who lives in SC I get really tired of people thinking the south has the monopoly on rednecks. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Ha! When I was a toddler my dad came home from class and mention Doctor Hardy, his professor. I piped up that I knew Dr. Hardy and he was perplexed. It turned out that Dr. Hardy was a character on General Hospital. My dad wasn't pleased, but I think that is because the week before my mom dressed me up as a girl. - RAPatton
you should make her watch Dr.Who and Eureka - Caroline
negative interest lol. with you, Shey. wonder if YatR people have a room here? maybe a soaps room in general? - Kamilah Gill
I'm with you, Shey. When my wife "talks" to me about soaps, I secretly wish that she would finish with, "And then they all died when their SUV slid under a gas tanker truck." - Harvey Simmons
One of my university roommate's was obsessed with Days of Our Lives. He watched it religiously. Guess who got sucked into the vortex along with him? Damn you Stefano! - Mark Wilson
Awww . . . there is no sunshine for me :( - Lindsey Smith
There's no shame in having more likes than comments. None. - Shey
My ratio isn't too far off: 245 comments to 386 likes this week - Lindsey Smith
Everyone gets to use them exactly the way they want to, very cool. - sergiooo
i'm at 168 comments, 191 likes for the week - but i feel like i "like" significantly more than i comment - interesting. - Morgan
If you like something, then it just gets bumped up on FriendFeed, encouraging others to participate in discussion without participating in it yourself. By commenting, you're adding value to the thread and encouraging others participate. - Here's... possible248!
wow Lindsey I thought I was active: i struggle to keep mine above 100 on both sides - Ruth Ferguson
AwesomePossum always wins . . . Louis CK reference (check) - Lindsey Smith
Very important point, which keeps coming up. Yet This is one post I Liked and not the hundred others. Hmmm... I guess, for me, subconsciously, it is dependent on who's made that post as well. - Parth Awasthi
ooohhhh . . . Then I'll just take that as a compliment. Thank you ;) - Lindsey Smith
exactly, lindsey. i may like a lot, but that doesn't mean they're toss-offs. (but don't be surprised if that is suggested to you now and then... sigh.) - edythe
Merited a near choke on caffeine. Nicely done. - Kaia ♥
mmmmm Bibibakas. *sings* "When you rolling out the dough, just be sure to roll it slow. If you make the dough too thick, Bibibakas make you sick...." - Brian Norwood
Boy did he nail them. ROFL - "We just want to get these kids before they get that experience or those business plans. Then we’re sure to kill DEMO, and if we kill our own launch conference in the process, so be it. And hey, go comment on my dogs’ pictures on Flickr!” - Carla Thompson
I sound like an obsessed stalker, omg. I never would've thought he'd be on FriendFeed. omg omg omg :( - Mona N.
Some of the best relationships start with stalking. Besides . . . . now he can see how cute YOU are :P - Lindsey Smith
Nah, he just needs to get to know you, then it'll be cool. Plus everything we write on FF shows up in Google search results to the world. Sorry, not helping, am I. - Josh Haley
ACK! They do? Now everyone can see I'm stalking Kyle -_- - Lindsey Smith
I mean, why would the life stream guy be on FriendFeed of all places? ha ha - Paul Reynolds
With all the PR Mona gave, the least he could give back is some babies - Rodfather
Mona, really, it's not that big of a deal. We on FF tend to have some kind of theme for a few hours, sometimes the entire day--it's fun and it suits our attention span. Bacon, mangos, smurfs or some hot dude. I participated too--no biggie. :) So what, FF life goes on. What's on the menu for today? - Anna Haro
I thought you were talking about the software? :( All your other posts made it seem that way. You talked about rejaw similarly. - ·[•_•]·
So glad you said "hose pipe". You don't know how much shit I used to take for saying that in the various places I've lived in. That and "might could". I've subconsciously trained myself now to say neither, unfortunately. - Paul Reynolds
"Hose pipe" is a bit redundant, but "garden hose" is so specific. The mighty Wiki tells me it's "hosepipe" or just "hose". But "hose" also applies to pantyhose, that's not a mental image I want really. So, hosepipe it is (if I could only correct the typo). ;) - xero
Isn't it, you guys? The Sweetcron room is actually ROCKIN. Everyone's giving each other support and posting their sites :) @Benjamin: your comments are disabled! - Mona N.
question: i have a wp self-hosted blog and i was thinking this sweetcron page would be nice as a page added onto that blog. is that possible? just set up the sweetcron page and connect it to my wp blog with a link? - faboo mama
Hey Mona, that looks really cool! How do I get in on it? - Vincent Ferrari
Vince: everything you need to know, is here :) http://friendfeed.com/rooms/sw... The creator of Disqus and um, the creator of the um, source code is there, too... :( - Mona N.
- how does this differ from something like Swurl (aside from self-hosting & themes)? - JA Castillo
this is just a link farm.. we can do the same thing uinsg RSS | EMAIL|BLOGGER|GROUPS. Whats the hue and cry about this service? Tell me what is new here underlying a UI ?? - Peter Dawson
Peter: Do you see the difference of the UIs? Just asking. - and it's not a service. it's a software, since it's FREE and OPEN SOURCE - Mona N.
yes its s/w .. but not on the cloud . and UI is just UI. I really dont see whats the big deal.. thats all. I dont mean to bust any1 ballon, but thats the fact. - Peter Dawson
Peter: it's clean, simple to use, and any non tech savvy person can jump on and click around. the embeddable media is pulled in and displayed / organized. one of the most intuitive templates i've ever seen. plus it's open source and free. why WOULDN'T you jump on it? - Mona N.
I'm going to have to partially agree with Peter. I don't see the big deal either. Sure, it's free and open source but using any aggregator or, creating your own (like Rob does for TGM) is just the same. Creating your own still makes it free. I can't say I like the UI at all. Open source and free doesn't always mean a great product. - Candace Holly
So what about people like me, Candace, who can't create my own? I'm stuck with default templates I have to find around the web. Open Source excites me, because of the possibility of people creating various templates - for free -. I've already showed the site to a few of my non tech friends, and they've all told me it's simple and easy to navigate. - Mona N.
I'd like to see this turn into a Wordpress theme/plugin instead. After installing the auto updater, I don't feel like going through another install process again. - Rodfather
There's plenty of places to get free templates and sites. Wordpress is one. Not a regular WP blog but installing the software in your site itself. There's 50,000 plug ins and ways to customize it (and aggregators too). I think there's more out there with better options. - Candace Holly
Candace, I specifically don't have my own domain because there are way too many choices, too many plug-ins, I don't know how and where to start. I envy you for knowing where to look, because frankly? It's a headache for me. That's the exact reason I haven't registered my own domain. I love the SweetCron UI, it's Tumblr-like look, and the archival system. To each their own :) - Mona N.
Mon, I agree each to their own. I am trying to close out my other thread and flod it back again to this one here. Meanwhile ..all my blogs are archieved in Groups. Did you check the link that I posted ? I created one recusive loop as a poc. albiet its manually, and not a cron. :)- howwever, I can cron the same thing in the fwd manner just using an RSS -2-email | filter | Blogger | groups. thats the core events. Zap up a blogger /CSS tempate and voila I can sweetcron without any download at all. - Peter Dawson
I cheat..I'm still not off WordPress itself . I just mask the name. Getting a domain is easy...godaddy.com! (p.s. Pixelbits.me is available I searched ~_^ ) ..For the record, I have no idea what Peter just said. I need Rob to translate that. - Candace Holly
@Candace, mea culpa. its easy. Get an RSS2email service (R|mail.org). Add RSS feeds to rss2email account,. Each time a new pos is created, it will get email to you. Create a filter rule < all emails tha come from rss2email, fwd to blogger account. This will create a blog entry. Set up your blogger profile to email all BLOGS posts to specific group e,g googlegroups. I one for myself for all my blogs. so its < RSS -2-email | filter | Blogger | groups> . Did that make sense ? - Peter Dawson
Candace: It's deciding on the domain name! LOL @Peter: Aside from the technicalities - I mean good for you for knowing all that -, is your site user friendly? - Mona N.
Ya know, with a tweak or two I could use this as an enterprise dashboard for different topics and existing internal feeds. Then when/if it becomes multi user I could use it as a behind the firewall version of friendfeed for workstreams. Of course workstreams doesn't sound all that fun so i'll have to change that. - Shawn McCollum
@mona, pls take a look at the what I posted.< http://lifestreampeter.blogspo...> The site I created was a POC, just for the convo . It took less then 15 minutes to completed. Is the UI heck sweet ? NO WAY 1. Does it have the underly principle of cron, very much so !! So all this sweetness in sweetcron really does not rock my boat. Been , there, seen that done that long long time ago. If you into UI only,. then it rocks your boat. - Peter Dawson
Peter: I already did look at your site, Peter. And that is why I stated what I stated. If all of your visitors are people who do not care about UI, then great! You just built a site in under 15 minutes. You're totally awesome :) However, if you read my blog, I explain -- in detail -- WHY SweetCron is right for me :) - Mona N.
It has it's uses, infact it's saved me building a very similar app. Most importantly, it's open source. If it were a hosted pay/month service, it would be useless. - Cains
I really do have a distaste for X.org at times. Is there a law that says it must crash or lock up at the least convenient time possible? - i80and
Is there a law that says Windows must crash or lock up at the least convenient time? How about Firefox? Actually there is: It's called Murphy's Law. - Voyagerfan5761
Perhaps I should just start using the terminal. X.org can't get me there! - Here's... possible248!
