Re: What Is The Best AntiVirus Software?

billythekid — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:34:24 -0000

I use(d) AVG free, which is still supported although grisoft make it more difficult to find that product on their site. In fact, AVG was being a beeyotch, I'd come down in the morning to 'caused an error and had to close' messages all the time. I was fixing to move to Avast as per this blog post but instead I moved to Kubuntu. ;oP

Re: My Thoughts On OpenID

billythekid — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:25:02 -0000

I have/use an OpenID but usually I use it only for quick access to a site I may never visit again. It gets round the having to register/await an email/reply or click a link to activate for entry.

Would I use it for information sensitive stuff, I think not, for the reasons mentioned, where's the vetting?

For a quick one time entry or to be nosey, it's ideal.

Re: How Do You Use Twitter?

billythekid — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:56:48 -0000

I wrote a mIRC script to update my twitter from within IRC, so I seldom actually log on to the website.

That said, I've found and re-found some friends on there in teh past just by wandering from profile to profile in the manner Ponzi does.

Twitter's great, it's simple to use and that's a winner, especially as it's "What are you doing?" and not "What are you thinking?"!

Re: WP Grins - Lite

billythekid — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:07:15 -0000

Thanks for a great plugin, the javascript part of the plugin does need  added to automatically validate but otherwise brilliant.

I'm glad you did this as the breaking of WP-Grins was driving me mad, it's amazing how much you come to rely on things isn't it!

Mine was and still is(I think), but only after it was worked up.

Clever linking and use of artefacts can gain loads, if only it were worth anything!

Right here making sure I could catch the screendump! (those clocks were counting down/up something that's lost somewhat in a static image!)

Re: Review: Seesmic Desktop. The TweetDeck Killer? - AllTwitter

billythekid — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:53:09 -0000

I kinda agree and while I've not had it open long I do think there's some great potential for this to be even better than Tweetdeck.

I'm using it in Linux and it's working fine as far as I can see. There are some strange auto-grabbing actions when you move the mouse over certain parts of the app and the cursor doesn't automatically re-set itself into the edit box.

Otherwise though I'm enjoying the experience. It's very similar to TD in lots of ways but definitely feels more web2.0 (cliché I know).

The missing "in reply to" link IS frustrating, especially if the reply comes in a few tweets later.

Re: HOWTO: Harpoon The Fail Whale - AllTwitter

billythekid — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:56:43 -0000

I think dabr would be up as it uses the API?(which is also true of TD of course)

The API is hosted on different servers so usually it will work whether twitter on the web is down or not as per the http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ... FAQ?

Just an idea.

Another setting that Seesmic doesn't appear to have is the opening of other's profiles in your default browser. It's become such a habit for me that it's actually really annoying.

I'm gonna update to the latest TD I think. I don't really use FaceBook so will ignore those 'features' (as I do with Seesmic)

I followed that link and see you know that already! lol

I'd personally love to see threaded messages, like how powertwitter or whatever the GM plugin is that does that. I'd also like the DM system to be 'upgraded' with at the very least a way to mark a tweet as read.

yeah they could have always drawn our attention to the options to change @replies settings. I am gonna miss stumbling across new folks because of a back-asswards feature implementation.
