Dustin's dashboard

Dustin started following the idea "Add a logout menu item" in boxee.

Dustin replied on January 12, 2009 23:11 to the idea "Responses to Jabber/XMPP (Google Talk) requests sent back to all clients, not just originator" in enjit:

That's a good point. I'm sending responses to bare jids, but there's certainly no need for that. Added to my list.

Dustin set one of Dustin's replies as an official response to "Chronological ordering of multiple messages" in enjit

I've pushed out the change.

Dustin replied on December 30, 2008 19:11 to the problem "Cannot associate an existing thread with the correct product" in Get Satisfaction:

There doesn't seem to have been any progress on this in the last five months. I've just run into the problem, likely due to the difficulty of pointing someone towards the proper product from the feedback widget.

Dustin shared an idea in Get Satisfaction on December 30, 2008 19:08:

I'd like to set the default product for the feedback widget.

The feedback widget should allow me to specify the default product that feedback is about.

Where I'm placing this, it's specific to a single product, but a user is required to expand an "optional" box and select the product before it gets organized on my side properly. That seems quite unnecessary.

Dustin reported a problem in Get Satisfaction on December 30, 2008 18:51:

No response from an employee report showing a question with a response from an employee.

I have a question showing up in my "No response from an employee" report that has a response from an employee.

It may be that the employee wasn't listed as one at the time:

Dustin set one of Dustin's replies as an official response to "Why enjit is so quick?" in enjit

Dustin replied on December 07, 2008 16:36 to the question "Why enjit is so quick?" in enjit:

That's a great question to wake up to. :)

The short answer is that enjit is quick because friendfeed does stuff right.

Friendfeed provides a realtime API over which consumers like enjit can use long-polling techniques to receive responses right when events occur instead of doing dumb polling like all of the other sites on the internet require.

If you'd like to play with the API on your own, you can find my implementation of the API consumer as used by enjit on github as twisted friends. All of enjit's interactions with friendfeed go through this library.

If you want to provide your own realtime services, check out my slosh project where you can quickly and easily provide the same type of API as part of another project.

Unfortunately, I can't currently provide access to my canonical slosh example, but I've got a few videos up at vimeo showing what I've been doing with it.

Dustin replied on November 20, 2008 22:28 to the problem "User links don't always work." in enjit:

This seems to be a problem they introduced and later fixed on their side. I'm not seeing it anymore.

Dustin replied on November 20, 2008 21:49 to the problem "User links don't always work." in enjit:

I've got one that worked since I've got one that didn't with no changes on our side.

Dustin reported a problem in enjit on November 20, 2008 21:43:

User links don't always work.

A user reported that user links fail sometimes. As far as I can tell, we pass the information across exactly as we get it from friendfeed. Perhaps they stopped linking briefly.

Dustin replied on November 06, 2008 19:26 to the problem "Seems like enjit can't work with Russian language" in enjit:

Admittedly, I don't know any Russian, but I've been able to both post and receive UTF-8 characters. Are you using an encoding other than UTF-8?

Can you give an example message we can use for testing?

Dustin marked one of Leech's replies in enjit as useful. Leech replied to the question "Quiet and Off are working?".

Dustin replied on November 05, 2008 20:04 to the question "Quiet and Off are working?" in enjit:

quiet has been removed (needs to be reworked)

on and off should be working now *however*, if a request is in-flight, you may still get a couple of messages after you issue off.

We can do a little better here. Implementing quiet may help with that.
