I could only assume so.

Micah, as always, I think you're the man. A thoughtful and interesting post; certainly one that a lot of people are nodding at in agreement and understanding. With that said, lets try to have more 'quality' time together.

Agreed, I'm trying to get this to as many people as I can. So far I've had a few friends read it and thank me for pointing them to it. :)

Great post, Andrew. Well put. Do you have any intention to get back 'out' of the scene? Go back to Seattle, perhaps?

Re: MailChimp releases Analytics360° WordPress plugin

Hi Justin, a new version is in the works. But, this looks to likely be a server configuration issue. Feel free to visit the Google Group discussion page for the Analytics360 plugin.

I agree on all your points: there are a number of things contributing to what I see as the demise. Others are likely to see the exact opposite. Time will tell...

Thanks for pointing this out, Josiah. I had seen the footnotes about 411, 900 numbers, etc. but the highlighted part is new to me.

We've had a few people with this issue and haven't had a chance to look into it. We followed the GA API so there may be some hints out there.

We hadn't, no. In theory, the plugin would just store the authentication tokens in the blogs' options tables. Assuming that's not the case, we can pass the feedback along to MailChimp for a future update. Thanks, Jake.

Re: Free Google Voice calls with T-Mobile myFaves

You trade the ability for your caller ID to recognize who is calling, but if you turn on 'Call presentation' (on by default), Google Voice will announce who is calling.

Call from 'Devin Reams'. Press 1 to accept, 2 to send to voicemail, 3 to listen in on the call, or 4 to record the call.

He's likely sluggish because the nap is too short (the average sleep cycle is 90 minutes), if he doubled it he might see better results. Here's a bit more information I've compiled around biphasic sleep.

Re: How to: merge existing GMail accounts

devin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:01:39 -0000

Hmm, I remember having the same issue but I believe was able to resolve the 'From' by setting the send from 'default' and syncing with Mail.app (which had the correct From: address).

Re: How to: merge existing GMail accounts

devin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:27:58 -0000

I use MailPlane on and off, too (for unrelated account, eg: work and personal) and use the web interface primarily. The point being is this outlines how you can use IMAP in Mail.app (assuming other clients can, too) to consolidate email message that should be together (my three personal accounts).

The ability to have the five 'myFaves' (free calls) is based on your plan. You can learn more about the plans at T-Mobile.

Re: Biphasic Sleep (Napping) FAQ

devin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:33:56 -0000

Hey Norbert, basically the reason I had my nap so close to the core sleep was scheduling. Most of us don't have the luxury of disappearing for 90 minutes mid-day so the nap was done immediately after classes/work.

If I could nap around 3 (statistically the lowest, least productive part of anyone's day) that'd be optimal. Realistically, I don't get home until after 6.

But, if I get an extra 30 minutes or an hour out of the day by taking a nap, the evening interruption seems worth it to me (no matter how close to core it is).

Re: Free Google Voice calls with T-Mobile myFaves

devin — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:47:14 -0000

There is the setting to have all incoming calls appear from your Google Voice number. ie: any time someone calls it is from your fave number (free calls) and Google Voice will announce (Incoming call from ______, press 1 to accept...).

If you choose to have the incoming calls show as the actuall caller then, no, those don't count towards your free fave minutes.

Re: Add Twitter Favorites to your site

devin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:50:21 -0000

The favorites page should be open to everyone and not require the API. You can visit a profile and just click their 'favorites' tab.

My favorites RSS feed is: http://twitter.com/favorites/627403.rss

The only item that requires the API is the replies which most certainly does work as mentioned here.

Hah, exactly. And with automation, you don't even have to think about all the important stuff (investing, saving). Now, tell me: why don't you like Jim Cramer? ;)

Interesting statistics. I think bpovia has been around longer but I'd hardly use Alexa as a deciding factor when outsourcing tasks.

Re: Making naps popular

Hey Andrew, I've found that skipping days isn't so bad. I usually try to sleep more on the weekends anyway. So, this schedule as a M-F thing might work out pretty nicely. :)

Sorry, dude. I don't know anything about them, unfortunately.

Nice catch, took me a minute to realize what the typo was.

This is hugely cool and important to the betterment of the internet and life in general. I bet it came out of a company from Boulder...
