How to get list of smileys?

In a screencast by @derdevblogger, he presented Tweetie 2. At minute 14 seconds 00, there's *VERY* shortly a list of smileys visible:



How did he get this smiley list? On my iPhone with OS 3.0, I can't seem to get it - or maybe, I just don't know how...

Thanks,
Alexander

Survey is shown too often

It should be enough that the current HootSuite survey is shown only once. Especially, if it's been filled out already...

Wrong date shown for "Sent" messages

I just send a (few) pictures to pixelpipe and it handed them over to the destination of the pipe (ie. Flickr, Yfrog, ...).

I'm "concerned" about the date → January 15 '70 07:13 AM.

Somehow, I doubt that this is correct...

Unable to add pipe. Pikchur says: Expired SSL certificate

Alexander replied on September 17, 2009 06:16 to the idea "Block Option" in HootSuite:

Well, if you block a user, the user won't see your tweets in his timeline (if he's logged in with the blocked account, of course).

And, as far as Spammers are concerned: The blocking user doesn't show up in the list of tweeps the blocked user follows.

Especially the last thing cannot be accomplished if the blocking user does a -username search.

Alexander replied on September 16, 2009 20:18 to the idea "Block Option" in HootSuite:

Well, but a blocked user is also not able to see my updates. That's quite often the reason why I block tweeple - so that spammers also don't see my stuff.

Doing a -usename search wouldn't solve that task.

Alexander replied on September 16, 2009 06:57 to the idea "Block Option" in HootSuite:

Any news regarding this? It kinda sucks to have to go to Twitter Web just to block tweeple :(

Setup of SMS doesn't work - number "invalid"

I'm having problems setting up Update by SMS.

So I went to http://hellotxt.com/settings/device/sms and entered my Swiss mobile phone number, like so: 417959abcde (instad of abcde, I entered the correct numbers, of course).

Having done that, your site claims that the number is invalid.

Why?

My HelloTXT Username is alexs77.

If you look closely, you'll see that in the URL and Fax Cover Page fields, it says "http://http://".

That's "probably" :) wrong.

Still no go.

Is it because of UTF-8 characters like ü and such?

Seems like - http://twitter.com/alexs77/status/254... was sent from chi.mp and only contains US-ASCII chars.

Homepage in Firefox AddOn links to wrong page

I installed the Pixelpipe 1.1 extension in Firefox. When I go to Firefox' AddOn menu, right click on the Pixelpipe icon and click on "Visit Home Page", http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/ad... is loaded - but that page doesn't exist.

A comment on the problem "Twitter updates take very long" in chi.mp:

Doesn't work :/

Twitter updates take very long

Hello.

I just registered with chi.mp and got my domain/setup at http://alexs77.mp/. After having completed the setup process, I sent a (test) Twitter update from within my chi.mp domain. Now, after like 5 minutes or so, it's still not on Twitter.

Why's that?

I authorized chi.mp on my Twitter account.

Cheers,
Alexander

Alexander asked a question in Pixelpipe on June 29, 2009 06:19:

Can't login with Firefox extension

I just installed the Firefox extension on

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042810 GranParadiso/3.0.10

This is Firefox 3.0.10 on ArchLinux.

When I open the Pixelpipe sidebar, I click on the big red button "Click Here to Login or Create Account" or on the small "[ Login... ]" "link" on the top of the page. I'm then shown the Authenticate Pixelpipe window.



But nothing happens after that :(

How do I grant the needed rights to the Firefox extension?

Alexander replied on June 29, 2009 06:05 to the problem "Danish characters (ÆØÅ æøå) garbled - posting through PP Uploadr" in Pixelpipe:

Same problem here, when I use the PixelPipe uploader App on my iPhone and have the picture send to Photobucket → http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t1...

As you can see there, it says "Spaziergang mit Cédric. Blick auf den neuentstehenden Teil von Dättnau."

The same picture has good UTF-8 international characters when sent to Flickr or PicasaWeb; there, it correctly shows "Spaziergang mit Cédric. Blick auf den neuentstehenden Teil von Dättnau."

Oh, and on the pixelpipe website, the "special" characters also aren't shown correctly:

A comment on the question "Route picture to multiple destinations" in Pixelpipe:

Hm, and how do I actually make this work?

Suppose I've got a picture that I want pixelpipe to route to box.net (@box) and drop.io (@io).

What do I have to enter as tags?

Tried and failed with:
- @io @box
- @io,box

What's the correct syntax? NB:I do not want to pre-setup a pipe/tag which is only assigned to box.net and drop.io.

For your reference, I send in http://pixelpipe.com/item/f84ae7f9-97... and had the tags "@io and @box" assigned when I uploaded the picture from my iPhone using your iPhone app. But the picture has been sent to ALLmy destinations, not just box.net and drop.io. – Alexander, on June 22, 2009 16:29
