Cool. Hope people find it useful.

I really like your implementation of short URLs. Much easier than having to deal with the .htaccess file. Linking back to this to make sure that others know that there are options.

"Not yet" is the word from the dev team over there.

Does the app support custom fields?

Maybe the sporadic stats have something to do with the migration to Google Accounts?

Stats seem to be working as usual for my account.

Nice. I'll give it a try this weekend.

OK, Derek: I suspect the problem you're encountering may be due to a combination of WP Super Cache enforcing gzip and the plugin being unable to determine the path to it's stylesheet file. Just a guess right now, as I haven't been able to actually reproduce the problem myself.

I went ahead and built a debugger function into the plugin; when you get a moment, try downloading the debug version, replacing the existing copy you have installed and using the new function bkDebug() in your template. Pop me the data it data it outputs from there. If you can't load the page after activating, open up the php file and remove line #224, "add_action('wp_head', 'bkWordpressHeaders');". That should let you see the output.

Debug version: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/23890/brightkite_b4.zip

Awesome, thanks! My first guess would be a gzip conflict between two plugins based on what it was spewing out in your first screenshot. Let me do some investigating and get back with you asap.

Currently running WP 2.6.3 and PHP 5 - see screenshot for enabled plugins and versions: http://idisk.mac.com/isdereks/Public/Pictures/S...

Sounds like an incompatibility between the plugin and something else running on your Wordpress installation. Can you tell me what other plugins you're running, what WP version, PHP version, etc. so I can track down the cause?

Hey, there seems to be a bug? With the plugin enabled, Safari users outside of the US were unable to access my site. See screenshot of someone viewing my site in Canada. http://idisk.mac.com/isdereks/Public/Pictures/S...

Just activated the plugin on my site. Good stuff. Well executed and a more attractive alternative than what is already out there. Just a little note concerning the included stylesheet. You have some leftover code towards the end of the file: r: #444141; }. Looks like it might have been a little bit overlooked with a copy 'n paste.

Re: Completely torn over mobile photos

Derek — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 15:43:14 -0000

I'd say keep mobile photos on Flickr. Brightkite has no way to show sets of mobile photos as a "gallery" set right? Meaning you can't simply send a friend to a set of mobile photo that the can browse through.

Alright picked these up but they turn off after about 30 seconds. MkV R32. What am I missing to getting these wired?

Re: LED license plate light replacement!

Derek — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:24:57 -0000

Do those same bulbs work for MkV GTI / R32?

So I'm confused, are Skype calls initiated and completed over a data connection?

Re: MySpace Layouts Top 10

Derek — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 01:22:33 -0000

I'm with Mike. If I'm not squashing overlay generator sites for ripping what I'm sharing (even going so far as to profit off of the redistributions), I'm squashing redundant questions that previous public inquiries may have addressed. I may not have the top award for tasteful, but I do have the spot for minimal.

Re: 2006/06/13/is-lostcherry-better-than-myspace/

Derek — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 21:40:07 -0000

Ergh. While the name Lost Cherry is "different", they definitely take the cake for 1) providing a means for users to annoy other users using the "cherry" blast, and 2) they've managed to create an uglier platform from which to network from. The entire service looks like a profile that a high school student might setup. The black background with hardlines (red & white)? No thanks, I would rather waste my days on MySpace or TagWorld versus LC.

You have to wonder if any attemps to create a niche in the social networking market these days carries any value. What are the real world chances of really getting up off the ground?

Add me to the list. Although, I won't be trying to lose wait, I'll be trying to gain. No matter what I try - protein shakes, eating binges, weight time, etc - the pounds don't stick. I've been stuck at a 178lb mark (6'2") for the past four years. I think an extra 10-15 would do a body good.

Re: 2006/02/12/3bubbles-why-im-skeptical-about-live-chat-on-blogs/

derek — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 17:46:16 -0000

let's leave the live chat windows where they're supposed to be left - on our desktops for quick meaningless messages back and forth between contacts.

IM conversations generally have a poor signal-to-noise ratio, making it virtually impossible for subsequent readers to find the information theyâ€™re looking for.

i couldn't agree more. what makes 3bubbles think that new readers will be able to make any use of these conversations? i used to archive my local chats until i realized that it was completely useless. why archive lines of jibber when the actual useful content may only span a few words?

let's leave the "conversation" to the blog comments. isn't that what those are for. as much as i find some posts online interesting, they're not interesting enough for me to spend a good deal of my time engaging in a "hello, how are you.. this post was great!" conversation. i'll drop my thoughts in the comments, plug my crumbs into cocomment, and be on my merry way.
