Re: A decentralized Twitter? (Scripting News)

I had been thinking about such a system, though not in thecontext of twitter; but rather as a comment system for blogs. This can be applied here aswell. Let me try;

1. Everyone has a tiny tweet server; its an xml-rpc server with pre-defined interface;

2. When you decide to follow someone who has a hosted tweet server, will as well provide a authentication key; and get one from you too. You don't have to provide it unless the person who desires to follow you has not verified his credintials (i.e you just "blocked" that person)

3. Assume you made a tweet post.; a scheduling algorithm on your tweet server picks one of your followers server as the initial seed to federate the tweet. So your server makes an xml-rpc call to your "follower's" server; So that particular follower gets your tweet.

4. Now the follower who just received the tweet calls back your server and find the next follower from the list and pass on the tweet to them.

5. This process continues until all of your followers has received the tweets.

The idea is to share the load among the ring of tweet servers.

Hope I was clear.

Oops this won't work as such. There should be a scheme to authenticate your followers on your behalf to cross post the tweet that originated from you.

dude, I almost lost interest in blogging because of the comment spammers. And don't get me wrong, its not because I hate opinions. Infact, I love it. But at this point of time, I need some control. Once I figure out the way it works I will probably go ahead and disable the settings so your comment will appear right away.

My basement had some traces of water. But I don't think it is because of the flood. I am just believing what I was told. I am anxious to see it with my own eyes though.

Actually you don't have to use a seperate id for the disqus; Disqus supports openid. Which means you can re-use your blogger id/wordpress id to log on to disqus.

1. While logged in with a session connected to blogger.com/wordpress.com; go to disqus.com. (Technically you don't have to logged in to blogger/wordpress to peform this session, some how Disqus integration to the OpenID server of blogger/wordpress requires you to logged into those sites first)

2. From the signup page of the Disqus, please dropdown the other methods to login (a small button at the login screen)

3. in the openid field, enter username.blogspot.com/usern...

4. Click ok to proceed.

Thats it. You are all set.

Thats the deal dude; there is no password. You are still using the blogger/wordpress login credentials. Having a username for Disqus is for accessing its multitude other features. Which you may or may not. So you will end up having a unique username in Disqus but not a password. Just think that disqus had outsourced its login process to blogger/wordpress or any openid server for that matter. Though I didn't quite understood what you meant by resetting the password, I think you had logged out of your blogger account. Which is absolutely fine. Next time when you login you will just have to click the click pass on the login button.

That being said commenting on a blog is totally up-to your discretion. I just thought I would explain the process of logging into disqus. So peace ./

Re: 100 Year embargo on Mark Twain’s Autobiography

rptony — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:17:30 -0000

Yeah there were few already published. The article says it

"It's all very exciting. It's also nonsense. There have been three previous editions of Twain's autobiography—published in 1924, 1940, and 1959—and each of them has selectively ignored Twain's 100-year embargo. This makes sense—first, because Twain's instructions remain confusing and contradictory; he wrote 50 years by some passages, 75 by others, and even, by the stuff he warned Howells about, 500 years. But it also makes sense from a marketing standpoint. In fact, each edition of Twain's "
