Re: DailyJS: Node Tutorial Part 6

OK, I think I finally fixed it. I realized that there was an inconsistency with a previous version of Express that I must have installed without using NPM.

I followed these steps to clear NPM's cache and re-install:

Now seems to be working okay.

Still stuck here... I seem to have narrowed it down to something with the next() function in the loadUser middleware. I am experiencing the same issue as discussed here: http://groups.google.com/gr...

I am running node.js on Mac OS X snow leopard, installed via MacPorts. All the dependency packages are up to date.

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

I checked and confirmed that all the dependencies are correctly installed and up to date.

I tried removing the "loadUser" function from each of the "/documents" routes. This allows me to view the documents list and create new documents.

I added a status flag to the log output, and it looks like both '/' and '/documents' return 404 status.

I am not able to add documents. The /documents page does not render.

I'm having trouble running this example. I pulled the code from GitHub, and I cannot load /documents after I register a new user and login.

Running the expresso tests says that /documents.json returns 302 instead of 200.

Any help would be great! I pasted the expresso output below:

Thanks for this great tutorial series!

I would love to see an example of authentication using Facebook/Twitter/Google/etc. perhaps using Connect-Auth (or similar)

OK, figured it out... better as a text post with HTML rather than video post

Why does Tumblr force my video posts to display at 500px? Can I make it post the videos at a different size (say 512x288)?

Done, and done!

Thanks for your comments. That's good to know, and I agree. I repeatedly emphasized that BikesAgainstBush used a water-soluble, environmentally safe, spray chalk solution (as opposed to spray paint) for that very reason.

Re: Josh Kinberg

joshkinberg — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:06:57 -0000

I can't find any documentation that shows the GraffitiWriter used spray-chalk instead of spraypaint (maybe it did and I somehow overlooked this fact?).

There's several references to the GraffitiWriter project using spraypaint, and even references to it being used for "mediated criminal experience" http://www.appliedautonomy.com/documents.html#RG

That being said... I remember having a few very helpful email discussions with IAA members when I was constructing the BikesAgainstBush project. I also used some of the very well-written instructions posted on the IAA website here http://www.appliedautonomy.com/objectors.html

But again (unless I missed it), I've never seen the use of spray-chalk referenced with the GraffitiWriter project.

Re: Josh Kinberg

I think BikesAgainstBush added some novel ideas to the GraffitiWriter project that came before it, and some of those ideas have carried into the DNA of Nike ChalkBot:

1. Non-destructive chalk instead of spray paint. Temporary chalk marking provides a similar effect of physical marking, but it is not damaging and not defacement of property (e.g. within the bounds of the law).

2. Participatory via web & sms. GraffitiWriter's messages were controlled by its operators, BikesAgainstBush & Chalkbot are open to (moderated) networked participation

3. Bicycle culture as a vehicle for tactical media / activism. During the 2004 RNC in NYC, bicycle culture and activist culture were very much intertwined (see groups like Critical Mass and TimesUp). Bicycle culture is also a vehicle for charity events & raising awareness of causes, so it makes sense to me that this project has carried over to the Livestrong campaign in a very positive way.

i guess that's one clear reason to not build comments on an open-to-the-public platform -- comment spam.

Thanks, afallison for leaving a non-sequitor comment here, along with your URL, which is the same comment you posted on several other blogs within the past few minutes.

Hmmm... I looked at the version there, but it's missing the ironic sense of humor / commentary that is inherent in this version. This version is so Pop that it undercuts the "Warhol is over" statement. The abstract expressionist / Pollock version is too literal and loses all the humor.

Why does a YT view embedded on FriendFeed not count as a "view"? Facebook does the same thing...

So very sorry for this loss, Andrew. Your father was a truly wonderful, generous, and caring person who made a lasting impact in our world. He will be greatly missed and I can only imagine how difficult it is for you and your family. Thinking of you, and sending prayers for comfort and support.

Looks like an active chat thread in the sidebar for the football game. Maybe they're filling an unmet need for sports fans to be able to simultaneously watch the game while chatting with other fans/friends?

Hey Andrew,

Check out the new "Action Streams" plugin for Movable Type released by SixApart:
http://mashable.com/2008/01...

This almost replicates Facebook's "mini-feed" -- it aggregates all your personal data streams from about 75 different services.

I imagine this concept will get adopted/adapted by other blogging platforms too, like Wordpress, Tumblr, others.

Taking it one step further, you could aggregate all the "action streams" of you & your friends together into another feed and then you could build a larger "social graph."

The technology and standards have been in place for a long time -- its essentially just RSS syndication. But making the whole thing easy, intuitive, and user-friendly is the real challenge, especially when its more of a distributed system.

Thanks for the great review! I'm one of the developers of FireAnt. We're always working to make it better... very interested in how you envision GAIM being added to the mix. Could you elaborate?
