Gary LaPointe asked a question in PicApp on October 06, 2009 23:00:

Can I store the PicApp images I use on my site on my server?

Am I allowed to copy the image to my server so if you discontinue using an image I still have it (I don't have broken blog posts)?

A comment on the question "Should bloggers ever worry about photos disappearing off of Picapp's servers?" in PicApp:

This answer is more about the up-time of your servers.
I'm concerned about you not supplying an image after a certain amount of time and then it disappears off my blog.

I'm having a problem connecting google analytics. It was fine before. It keeps saying I'm having a username/password problem. But I tried it on the web page and it's the correct one. Twitter worked fine (and I've never gotten the page rank to work correctly).

I'll try this part again later.

It blew all my preferences.

Ego launches, hangs and then quits :(

Ego started hanging on load the last few days. It hangs while showing the attached background and then quits (look close and you can see it).

I've powered the phone off and on but didn't help.

I installed the iPhone 3gs 3.0.1update recently but I'm pretty sure I've used Ego since then.

I didn't want to delete and reinstall because I figured I'd lose my preferences.

Anyone having any similar problems!

Good to know. I couldn't get ever get it to work either.

Gary LaPointe asked a question in Sprint on June 02, 2009 20:35:

Is there a tower down in Dearborn, Michigan? How do I report it?

My reception has dropped significantly in the Dearborn, Michigan area (Michigan Ave + Schaefer Rd). A good part of the time it says "International (Roaming)" but I'm 5 miles from Detroit River (which is the boarder to Canada) and I've never seen "international" before. At those times I can't even get a signal if I force it to not roam.

I've had Sprint at this location for 7+ years and the same phone for months (and a different handset of the same phone Treo 755p for a year or two).

I just did a few tests driving around and you can see the difference by just heading a mile west. As a test, I streamed some audio and it dropped a half-dozen times as I was driving away from my house. Worked fine for a 1/2 hour and as a approached my house it started dropping again.



Maybe it's the phone, but since I'm picking up Canada, I'm going to say it's a tower around here.

So where do I go to complain?

Thank you,
Gary

If it's the phone, it might be time for an upgrade. The Palm Pre should come out this week (Friday?) and the new iPhone next week (Tuesday?).

Yes.

But I think since it think it's being sent a 720p signal it won't go more than 720 lines. The AppleTV is sending a wide-screen image to a 4:3 display so the video drivers are thinking it's 1280x720.

Support 1024x768 on the AppleTV?

I've got a Epson 83c(?) projector hooked up to my AppleTV via the component cables. I usually run it at 720p (1280x768) but then I lose info on the sides since the screen isn't wide enough. But when I run standard (4x3) shows I can't get full screen. And I can't benefit from full screen menus when in the Boxee interface.

Any way to get full screen?

Can't delete again :(

Personally I think deleting something I need to delete would be more important than adding something new...

I've just posted a video that was awful quality so it's not a crisis for me. But...

(I'm assuming the excuse is the awards tonight)

Seesmic WP plug-in HELP button.

It'd be really nice if there was a help button next to the seesmic submit video comment option. It's really got to throw some people off when they see it...

Seesmic WP plug-in approval suggestion.

In the Seesmic plug in, IF I have it moderating comments. When it sends me the link to moderate it in my mail (such as http://mywebsite.com/wp-admin/comment...) it doesn't allow me to preview it like the other commenting section does.

It's not an issue now, but it's only a matter of time before we get video spam...

Daniel,

I'm only saying this does not solve the problem because I think the interface is goofy.

Check out the 4 vids I just posted (7:46 am EST) to @silent.

When I remove the @silent from the subject line, it makes my selection box for other names go away BUT it still says "direct video to silent" underneath it so I still thought it was going to send it. I think those words should go away. Without those words I would have had no confusion.

(And I now see the lock on private videos).
Thank you,
Gary

Private videos not private

Submitting a private video seems to appear in the public timeline.
I considered that I did it wrong so I very carefully did it again (which I then deleted).
And if they really weren't in the public timeline, it did still show up in my page widget http://garysaid.com/chapters/003048.php

It would be great to get an extra (separate) notification when someone mentioned me with an @me (in case I'm not paying attention)

It'd be nice to have some settings to send me mail (or SMS) if someone mentioned s @GaryLaPointe in a tweet. Whether I subscribe to them or not...

Just a thought.
