How do I check that the fee is gone on my account?

The plan is great but the phones that it works on are very disappointing.
Sure I have unlimited data but it's difficult to use. I doubt my plan is the
reason Sprint is in trouble; it was only available for a small period of
time to people referred by a Sprint employee. If it were a problem they'd
have no issue with me dropping my contract (or they would have done it for
me already).

I found it via a Google alert for my name :)

TagHandler probably doesn't work because you haven't made an index for filtering on tag. Here is my index.yaml:


indexes:

- kind: Entry
  properties:
  - name: published
    direction: desc

- kind: Entry
  properties:
  - name: tags
  - name: published
    direction: desc

Thanks for grabbing my code and running this blog...but could you change it to not use my name? Towards the bottom of blog.py change "blog_author" and "blog_title" to your name/title.

You'll also want to change the Disqus code to not be running as mine and fix some links to not point to my Facebook/Flickr/FriendFeed.

Thanks!

I have mine wired to my router which is wired to my NAS but it also supports
USB wireless adapters if you need.

is it wired or wireless?

I got one over the weekend. I also had the original one but this is much nicer. Obviously the biggest improvement is it can access media over your network (mine is connected to a My Book World Edition) but it also feels a lot quicker.

It'll also do slideshows of my Flickr photos

I used the iPhone app the other day. Very convenient.

Thanks, Benjamin. That's a really cool tool, I wish I knew about that a few days ago! I can see it preventing a lot of headaches.

Very well written Mark. I like that you took a look at OAuth from various levels. I agree that documentation on OAuth is scarce and mostly useless; we had a hard time documenting it at FriendFeed and opted to just provide an example application instead.

Everyone should take a look at Google's OAuth Playground: http://googlecodesamples.com/oauth_playground/. I found it useful when first learning OAuth.

This totally makes sense, I blame myself for not thinking of it. Thank you for the link, this is a nice piece of code!

If everything inherits from BaseRequestHandler and all patterns end in /?
then you don't need that. Take a look at my blog's code for how this works:

Things got even faster recently thanks to Brett (from Google) implementing some extra security and Bret (from FriendFeed) utilizing that security. We used to have to re-crawl your feed after receiving the ping from the hub, which takes a few extra seconds, but now we can instantly publish.

Re: Dropping FriendFeed (For Now): WTF?

bgolub — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:01:55 -0000

Also the difference between "Check 'Cc Twitter' box by default" and "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" is the following: "Check 'Cc Twitter' box by default" means when I go to http://friendfeed.com/ the 'Cc Twitter' box is checked by default.

"Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" means *imported* entries (like those from your blog, Facebook, etc.) are automatically sent to Twitter.

So the "Cc Twitter" box is for when you create an entry *on* FriendFeed and the other setting is for when entries are imported *into* FriendFeed.

Finally you can check "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation" to cause the link to go to the final destination instead of FriendFeed.

But the fact that it was this confusing means we (I work at FriendFeed) have some work to do to make this easier. Hope I could help!

Re: Dropping FriendFeed (For Now): WTF?

bgolub — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 08:55:23 -0000

You are getting duplicate posts on Twitter because you have the Twitter checkbox checked on "Post entries from". Select "All services (except Twitter)" to not cause the loopback.

Interesting Benjamin - for some reason I thought hitting "m" unmuted it.
Thanks for the clarification.
