Allow me to ... think.

To approach your argument correctly, I need to first find out whether or not your fundamental christian beliefs in a man-delivered book of the "word of God" are remotely reasonable. I also need to take into account that beliefs and faith are two very personally held structures by any one or group of persons, and therefore:

I need to keep my opinions of your religiously rooted insights to myself, as I can't tell you what to believe. On another note, I can tell you that your own ego (humanity believing they can define God) and vanity in those beliefs (denouncing anyone that claims man-made your beliefs) creates the paradox to end all arguments regarding rapture, apocalypse, etc. If you are correct, you will also find out soon enough what exactly it means to be as religious as you are. Faith, is the key to happiness, not faith in religion. Take that with you and you'll live better.

That idea might violate the "User Experience" control-Nazi thing they have going on with their "happy go lucky" washed out outlook on society... Yep, actually, I'm positive it does. I didn't even touch on that in this post, actually - and totally should have. They're restricted - understandably so - but we Americans should be sick of blatant Big Brother. heh

Great point! Definitely don't actually use "$this" as a variable in PHP, it's actually good practice to just not use "this" as a variable anywhere - it's too ambiguous, but it's also a reserved term in quite a few languages as well

I'll update the post. Love the app so far. Let me know when you address the fails ;) We'll re-review it.

Re: FriendFeed vs. Facebook

nrek — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:34:02 -0000

FriendFeed is pretty difficult to navigate and filter. There are Lists and Rooms for seperating content, but all in all, it is way too easy to get too much info, and that kind of UI flubbing will keep FriendFeed from going mainstream. Facebook's new interface is way too darn busy, but the news feed section and left panel on the home page was a great move.

The likeness Facebook's new features has to Twitter and FriendFeed alike shows that they are apying attention at least, now if they can just unclutter the mess they have on the right of the homepage/news feed... all the better.

Yes, Haptic Feedback is part of the hardware feature set on the N97's touchscreen; feeling when you press something correctly on the screen instead of merely seeing.

JOEL! shit man, we need to catch up...

I agree, even if Clinton started it why are we all here hoping that Obama can finally clean it all up? Where the hell was W's priorities for the EIGHT years he was in office? Oh yea, oil control. Which we successfully kept from China, good job USA. But that's saved for Part 3 of this rant.

The statement regarding the War in Iraq was a thin layer of satire, but you have to admit - the housing boom in 2003 through 2005 really did help keep people "moving forward" with the buying craze.

There's no "conspiracy" talk here, outside of me linking big picture with choice events...

Ooooh I'll get to the uber stupid spending bill in Part 3 of this blog post, Chris. You're totally ahead of me haha!

Thank you for the super awesome comment, by the way! You, sir, rock!

you need to learn to read. if you're going to troll - at least prepare your trolling with a little background and some self-respect. at least then I could laugh hysterically with you, instead of merely at you.

It came installed with XP Home, but I tweaked the registry to "upgrade" it to XP Pro, because I run a domain in my home. I posted about the registry hack here: http://enrique-gutierrez.com/2009/02/joining-th...

You're absolutely right! Hmmm ... I do believe that'll keep Trigga.me third in the line as far as tools for make me annoying to friends - since I actually like Ping, from what I remember. HelloTxt is still the #1 in my book.

There are three things you can do:

1. Have Google email you a password reset to a secondary email account
2. Answer your secret question (if you have one)
3. If you have access to your email through a GTalk Client, Firefox extension, or a cell phone app - Set up another GMail Account & forward your mail to it, and authorize that new account to send mail from the one you lost.

If these don't work, and you completely lost your access and don't have a way to get in through steps 1 or 2; they told me "sorry you're out of luck", and unfortunately, I have to say the same to you as a result.
