Are you talking about a WordPress client for a desktop OS? They already exist for Android, iPhone, and iPad.

I see in the code where that's supposed to be happening. All I know is that when it's time to render the comment, $comment->date is in ISO 8601.

Thanks for the plugin, Glenn.

I did encounter one problem, in render_comment() in friendfeed-comments.php, though. The date() function doesn't like the formatting of $comment->date and is causing all comments to display December 31, 1969. Adding the following line before $time is set fixes the problem.

$comment->date = strtotime(str_replace('T', ' ', $comment->date));

Re: Are you using Firefox 3? (Scripting News)

I switched to Firefox 3 from Safari when beta 3 was released. As far as I can tell, Firefox 3 has none of the memory problems that Firefox 2 had on OS X. It's been very stable and very fast, which is my primary concern. Firefox 2 killed my productivity because it crashed so often.

I really like the new UI. Fits in much better with the other OS X apps.

The only drawback, from my point of view, is that many of the add-ons that I use haven't been updated to work with 3 yet.

Never mind what I said about the problem being Joyent. Twitter left them last night.
