Why, because of the spam?

It is. I thought of writing WOWOWOW, but that would have been teh gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I would totally do this, though the timing's bad as I'm out of town the week or two prior. Let me know the schedule as you work it out.

This is, of course, game 6 of the 1986 World Series, Mets - Red Sox.

E3 = Billy Buckner.

Thankfully, the demons have been exorcised and I can actually recall this game without weeping openly. :)

Re: Twitter Robots Killed Me (And Why I Apologize I May Not Be Following You Anymore)

jangro — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:45:02 -0000

I did the opposite as you recently, I went from only following people I know to following everybody who followed me as an experiment to see what twitter would be like. I went from following about 200 to following 1500 very quickly. The standard twitter feed, all friends, becomes essentially unusable (pretty much same as the everyone feed). It forces the use of third party tools like FriendFeed to keep tabs on your real friends, which can be a much more effective way to go.

I'm sure you'll love basic Twitter again after paring down and growing it back up to who "matters", and will actually be able to use Twhirl again.

But what are you losing by doing this? The answer to that may not be immediately apparent, but I bet it isn't nothing. interesting how this has all turned out. Marketers ruin everything eh?

Re: I Won’t Be at Affiliate Summit West at CostPerNews

jangro — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:22:00 -0000

Don't let it get you down. Duty calls.

We'll see you in NYC at the very latest Sam, or maybe we should have a mini Summit in Asheville. I hear it's nice there in the spring. Actually, I've never heard that.

Please give my best to Anna.

Hey Stephie, great post.

No predictions on the awards? I know, you just don't want to jinx it.

Can't wait to see you all.

Now get packing!

I could totally live only on my iPhone.

The only reason I bring a laptop anywhere is so I can SSH into servers in a pinch if something goes wrong. Most trips, my laptop acts as nothing more than a big battery for the iphone.

This Summit I'll be traveling with the eee and likely won't even crack it open.

Re: FriendFeed Cleanup - d.jangro - jangro on django

Yeah, I want to to be loving FriendFeed. I see the promise and am trying different things to make it stick.

I might be coming to you for a power-user lesson.

Testing Disqus comments.

The great thing about both services is that their comment importing/exporting makes switching each of them in and out quite easy.

I do think that you stand to lose the nested replies on transition, though, as wordpress doesn't retain that information. Not sure.

My God man, do I have to explain myself at every turn?
My blog BREAKS with Disqus on it because of the sheer volume of comments on one post. That's ok, just keep busting my balls Sam. :)

Good feature, but I've remained reluctant to require disqus registrations to comment. I remember getting all sorts of flak from people who just *thought* they had to be registered to comment when I first put it on my blog.

I do think that Disqus is becoming a popular/pervasive enough service that this is starting to make sense and it will soon become acceptible, especially with the integration with facebook and other services.

Honestly, this should just be standard feature when registering for Disqus. I don't know why they'd keep the middle option (registered but unverified email). It should just be a requirement for setting up a Disqus account.

I guess they feel it'll slow down comments even more.

And "curving"? You mean "curbing" or course. ;) Reminds me of the kid in my kindergarten class who called the curved blocks "curbs" when we were making roads out of them. We all thought he was nuts. They're "curves va-va-VA!". He's probably running a billion dollar road construction company now or on his way to Obama's cabinet as the transportation secretary.

Say it ain't so Pete!

Mixing thoughtful posts with a flood of new merchants and offers is a sure-fire way to lose my attention.

Re: DISQUS and Facebook Connect Hook Up

jangro — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:10:24 -0000

Eat what?

Daniel and his team know why I had to pull them down, and what it takes to get me back. In the meantime, I don't think they're losing any sleep over losing jangro.com.

It's not Facebook integration, however nifty.
