Charles Roper reported a problem in Readernaut on August 18, 2009 08:59:

Cannot login; cannot get a password reset.

I signed up, added a few books, etc., but now I cannot login again. I've requested a password reset and it says the password has been sent, but nothing arrives (I've checked my spam folder).

I tried signing up again just to make sure I had indeed signed up using the correct email address and, sure enough, it says my email address is already in use.

My username is charlesroper (I think).

Weird.

A comment on the question "Windows version?" in Clearleft:

I agree with Jan, it would be interesting to hear of some evidence and/or research that the platform the website is being tested on doesn't affect the user's experience and thus reaction to the website.

For instance, one of the things I so often see users doing on a Windows machine - almost by unconcious compulsion - is maximize the browser. You can't maximize as such on a Mac, and the maximize button is in a different place. Then there's the browser chrome, which can be radically different on a Mac. Does this not affect the user's response?

These points remind me of a recent Boagworld podcast and post regarding context. See: http://boagworld.com/usability/conten... and http://boagworld.com/podcast/127/ – Charles Roper, on August 28, 2008 08:19

A comment on the question "Windows version?" in Clearleft:

I'm having a brain blockage (nothing new there). Do you mean you're running OS X (and Silverback) on Parallels or VMware on an OS X host? Or something else? I'm intrigued as to what you're doing . :-) – Charles Roper, on August 21, 2008 08:15

Gulp! That being the case I would urge Mac users: make Silverback a success; and to Windows users: start demanding a Windows version.

Is Feed Crier dead?

Is Feed Crier dead? Blog was last updated July 25th, 2007; copyright notice still says 2007. Trying to use it yields no results whatsoever

Charles Roper replied on July 24, 2008 16:24 to the question "Windows version?" in Clearleft:

Thanks for the reply, Andy; a fair response. I do hope there is enough demand for a Windows version. If there is, that's all the better for you I suppose.

One question remains for me: what are these usability apps for Windows you speak of?

charlesroper asked a question in Clearleft on July 24, 2008 12:10:

Windows version?

Are you planning a Windows version? Dare I even ask at the risk of being laughed at? I guess I do dare. :-)

It feels like this might be a problem for me too. I've not had *any* twurls tracked since 08-07-2008, which I think coincides with when I changed my password. Could well be a coincidence though.

Can anyone answer this?

charlesroper asked a question in RescueTime on May 14, 2008 17:04:

How do I exclude Internet Explorer logging?

I want to only log websites in Firefox. Is it possible to exclude Internet Explorer and other browsers from being logged while keeping only Firefox?

Ok, well, it's working now. I clicked the refresh button and it updated my feed. There must be a minor bug that throws this error only when adding a new Friendfeed account.

FriendFeed: "error receiving public feed"

When I try to login to FriendFeed using Twhirl, I get the following error: "error receiving public feed". What gives? It works fine at home, so I imagine the problem is related to being behind an ISA server here at work. Thing is, Twhirl works fine for Twitter. I don't quite get why it would work for Twitter but not FriendFeed.

Great, thanks!
