Nice! Thanks for that.

adactio replied on October 30, 2008 18:06 to the problem "Add search engine, results in error" in Huffduffer:

Good catch. I've tinkered a bit and I think it's fixed now.

adactio replied on October 30, 2008 01:17 to the problem "Small time stamp issue" in Huffduffer:

I *think* this issue is fixed now but if you spot any recurrences, please let me know.

adactio replied on October 29, 2008 18:06 to the problem "Ampersand isn't escaped" in Huffduffer:

Excellent. There's an unrelated issue with a timestamp but the ampersand encoding has been fixed. Thanks for that.

adactio replied on October 29, 2008 01:36 to the question "Why add links to Elsewhere without asking?" in Huffduffer:

Okay, I've tightened up the way that the "Elsewhere" linking works. As of now, links will only show up if they are reciprocal.

For example, if you enter "example.com" as your URL, your Flickr account and Twitter account will only show up if they are linking to "example.com" *and* somewhere on example.com, you are linking to your Flickr and Twitter accounts with rel="me".

This means the lists will be a lot smaller but they will only contained confirmed claims.

adactio replied on October 28, 2008 22:25 to the problem "Ampersand isn't escaped" in Huffduffer:

Great catch!

I think I've fixed it now. Have you got the URL of an example feed with an ampersand so that I can run it through feedvalidator.org to test it?

adactio replied on October 28, 2008 18:06 to the question "How do I delete my account?" in Huffduffer:

Right now there's no automated mechanism for deleting accounts. I will build it but I want it to also email any departing users all the data they have put into the system.

For now, if you want to delete your account, just let me know.

adactio replied on October 28, 2008 15:14 to the praise "This is a great idea" in Huffduffer:

Aw, thanks very much, Jorge. I really appreciate it.

I also really appreciate the stuff you've been huffduffing: science fiction stories *and* Mark Pesce... brilliant!

adactio replied on October 28, 2008 03:11 to the question "Why can't my password use special characters?" in Huffduffer:

You can now use any characters you like in your password.

adactio replied on October 27, 2008 23:12 to the problem "PCAST protocol not supported by Firefox" in Huffduffer:

Good call, Lachlan. I've updated all instances of the pcast:// protocol to itpc://

adactio replied on October 27, 2008 17:40 to the question "How do I know when someone comments on my Huffed stuff?" in Huffduffer:

You're right. There's no easy way to track when someone has commented on your stuff specifically.

Maybe a column on your user profile listing "Recent comments" would do the trick?

Or maybe this is something that should appear on the homepage (when you are logged in).

adactio replied on October 25, 2008 11:52 to the idea "'Huffduff it' from user page" in Huffduffer:

Away put your greasemonkey ...I've done it.

You can now huffduff something that someone else has huffduffed from anywhere:

* another user's profile,
* the list of newest stuff,
* the list of most popular stuff,
* search results,
* tag pages.

adactio replied on October 25, 2008 00:29 to the idea "Does she work with Pownce?" in Huffduffer:

Yeah, the deal with MP3s on Pownce is that they are "public" in the sense of the Pownce public. If you visit Pownce when you're not logged on, you can't download MP3s people have posted even if they have been pownced to the "public." So because Huffduffer is not logged into Pownce, it won't be able to get at MP3s there.

I appreciate you looking into this, Alan.

To delete something you've huffduffed, just click through to its URL and (assuming you're logged on) you will see "delete" and "edit" buttons with the title.

adactio replied on October 25, 2008 00:25 to the idea "Ubiquity Command Please?" in Huffduffer:

Ooh, sounds interesting. I'll look into what I would need to do to make this work and if it's feasible, I'll do it. Thanks for the tip.

adactio replied on October 24, 2008 09:28 to the problem "Small time stamp issue" in Huffduffer:

Hmmm... I'll look into this and see if I can figure out what's going on. Thanks for letting me know.

adactio replied on October 24, 2008 00:19 to the question "How do you find mp3 files for BBC podcasts?" in Huffduffer:

You need to go to the page of the programme on the BBC website. First go to http://bbc.co.uk/podcasts and then navigate from there.

Here's the page for Front Row, for example:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/f...

And here's In Our Time:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/iot/

Those pages include a link to "Download episode". Your "Huffduff it" bookmarklet will pick that up.

adactio replied on October 23, 2008 18:40 to the praise "HuffDuffer is a great great site!" in Huffduffer:

Aw, thank you so much. I'm really quite overwhelmed by how many people seem to like the site (and I'm totally blown away by the great stuff that people are huffduffing).

Thank you!

adactio replied on October 23, 2008 18:38 to the idea "'Huffduff it' from user page" in Huffduffer:

Yeah, that's a reasonable request and it's something I've thought about building in. I'll look into adding this.

Meantime, could I get a show of hands from everyone else out there: do you agree that this would be a useful addition?
