been a year... how's that upgrade coming? :-)

Fraser Speirs' reply to "Exporting video from iPhoto?" was just promoted to the most useful! Alex Chaffee and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I'm planning to enable it in a free update to 3.x.

Alex Chaffee replied on July 01, 2009 00:34 to the problem "Why are my posts showing up empty in Google Reader?" in Google Reader:

My friend's blog Candleblog has the same problem, though there's no spam in the source. The contents were all showing up full and fine until recently; now the body is empty in Reader. Check http://candleboy.com vs. http://candleboy.com/feed

+1

+1 (been asking for this for years)

Alex Chaffee replied on June 02, 2009 02:27 to the problem "Activation failed" in Moodlog:

I'm sorry for the misleading "Activation failed" message... Your account was indeed activated but there's a sporadic problem where sometimes it reports a failure when it really worked.

As for the "authentication failed"... I see a suspicious login attempt for unknown user "amylol" -- perhaps you'd like to buy a vowel? :-)

Alex Chaffee replied on May 10, 2009 17:57 to the idea "Mood categories" in Moodlog:

We are on the same wavelength. I've had this idea in my head for a MoodMap widget that allows you to rate a mood on 2 scales (pleasant/unpleasant, high-energy/low-energy) but I think I should just jump in and do one axis cause it's easier to implement.

Alex Chaffee replied on May 10, 2009 17:15 to the idea "Suggest my commonly used moods" in Moodlog:

We already have something like this via the autocomplete menu which comes up when you start typing in the "How do you feel?" box. Maybe this box should only show moods that you've personally entered in already?

Your wish is my command!

• http://moodlog.org/moments.csv
  


• http://moodlog.org/moments.xml
  

Download links to [XML] and [CSV] are now at the top of the Moments list. They're kind of ugly sitting right there so they might move elsewhere on the page.

Alex Chaffee replied on April 25, 2009 18:29 to the question "mood importing from LiveJournal" in Moodlog:

Quick update: I looked into the LiveJournal API a bit, and it looks doable, but I'd need to do some experimentation to figure out exactly what calls I'd need to make (mood is sort of an added-on "meta" attribute so there's no simple "getMood" call). Or if someone wants to write, or point me to, some code...

Alex Chaffee replied on April 25, 2009 18:20 to the idea "Favicon request" in Moodlog:

OK, done.

Alex Chaffee replied on April 24, 2009 17:13 to the idea "Favicon request" in Moodlog:

Great suggestion. Easy to implement, too. I'll get on it very soon.

Alex Chaffee replied on April 24, 2009 17:12 to the question "Linking with friends" in Moodlog:

Absolutely! I've been busy with other things but I intend to add a "make my moods public" setting (for those emotional exhibitionists among us) and to link with Facebook so you can select which friends you want to share moods with (and also invite to moodlog, naturally).

Alex Chaffee replied on April 23, 2009 15:21 to the problem "color wheel???" in Moodlog:

The feedback widget noticed that you're using an old version of Firefox. Could you try upgrading to version 3.x and try again?

Alex Chaffee replied on April 14, 2009 22:43 to the question "enter key to submit" in Moodlog:

That's odd. What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

Alex Chaffee replied on April 04, 2009 23:32 to the question "mood importing from LiveJournal" in Moodlog:

Yep! I'm not a LiveJournal member so it's not a high priority for me, but it's a natural extension of the main concept. I also want to scan Twitter and Facebook status messages for "mood words" and conditionally add them to your moodlog.

Alex Chaffee replied on April 04, 2009 19:24 to the question "need help canceling" in Moodlog:

Aaron -

I checked the db and your account is still alive and well. Not sure why you couldn't log in. I'll delete your schedule right now which will stop the feelers, and I've sent you a password reset email if you want to log in to your account and start them up again (possibly at a reduced frequency!)

- Alex

Alex Chaffee replied on April 04, 2009 19:16 to the problem "password problem" in Moodlog:

It seems that you were entering in your email address, not your username. But I agree that it's confusing, so I've added the ability to use either one to reset your password. I won't be able to deploy the change for a little while, so for now, I'll go enter in your username so you get a password reset email.

Note that even if it fails, the message "please go check your email" still shows up. This is to prevent a "trolling" attack, where a hacker can enter in a million email addresses to see who does and does not have an account, and thus find valid accounts to spam or compromise. I'm not sure if this is really the best behavior, though, since it misleads honest users... hmm.
