How do you guys handle changes to the code on Google Code? I mean, I could make some changes (theoretically) and check it back into the trunk. Are you guys sitting there doing code review and approving these changes and do they make it back to Help Center The Official Download, or should I just wait for you guys to make the changes?-

Hm, good catch Ivan! Sorry this slipped through our QA. I'll get right on it. -

Actually, I was kinda kidding: just glad that you heard this, since it affects all your clients using Help Center. I'll be following this thread for updates. Thanks again! -

Well, I need to confab with our developers here and see what they think. I'll be pulling them into the conversation. Sorry if I did not provide a "next step". -

Good point. Surely we can do better than this. We have all these fun and interesting design details on our site. Our error messages should at least be a little prettier -- and they should definitely be more descriptive. -

Ugly black text on white backgroun error message when submitting a blank "Share your idea" post -- error checking is horrible.Submitting a blank idea to share returns an ugly error in Help Center. Even Skitch is affected.
If I go to the "Share an idea" page of Help Center (whether it's my own local install, and I even tested this on Skitch here http://help.skitch.com/submit.php?sub...) and I simply hit the "Post your topic" button, I get a REALLY REALLY ugly error that says
string(545) "
The system could not process your request because
* Subject can't be blank
" Posting the topic failed.
(see the attached screenshot). Could you please fix this? At the very least, make it a pretty page that says failur, not a black text on white background. Yech!

Ivan, make sure the invites aren't in the spam folder of the people you send them to first. If they're not there let me know, and I'll investigate the problem. :) -

These people are not spammers because they following blindly (I use the term "people" loosely here).
They might be spammers when people follow them back, but then again someone is agreeing to reading what they post.
Auto-follow-back is a bad, bad practice. And it leads to these types popping up like mushrooms. It's a shame it can't be limited. It's amazing people add blindly others without caring whether it makes sense or not. The whole point of twitter is lost as you can't truthfully argue you're following what 5 thousand people tweet. -

Nevermind, I just figured it out. I was looking at Group data, and not My Data, that's why I couldn't find it. Thanks!!!! -

Thanks for the tip, now I'm having trouble figuring out how to ignore. Could you point me to some documentation for that please? -
Joe replied on April 18, 2008 16:06 to the discussion "Double counting activity under VMware Windows on my Mac" in RescueTime:
My primary computer is a MacBook Pro and I run both VMWare Fusion and Parallels fairly consistently throughout the day.
The best way to handle this is to install RescueTime on each of the OS's. In my RescueTime.com site I have "vmware fusion" and "parallels" set to ignore. This way, when I switch to one of my Windows XP, Vista or Ubuntu sessions, the time is not doubled.
Hope that helps! -

Double counting activity under VMware Windows on my MacSo my main machine is a Mac Pro, but I also use VMware for testing sites under IE6 and IE7. And ofcourse I have legacy data in QuickBooks on my windows machine that I need to port over to my Mac too. I haven't installed RescueTime on my Windows virtual machine yet, but I suppose I should. Here's what I'd like to hear from you about: will it double count if I do that? I'd rather have more info on what I am doing inside my virtual machine (instead of just "vmware") but I don't want to have it count my activity twice. Thoughts from your brillian RescueTime peeps? -

Ivan Stegic reported a problem in Twitter on December 23, 2007 21:11:
Good evidence of spam on twitter, or as I like to call it -- spitter. Can someone help rid me of them?OK, so I wrote a quick little PHP script that posts to the Twitter API (thx guyz, u rock!) every hour with a message from the Unix fortune program. Pretty slick I thought, because I (1) like reading them, and I was feeling nostalgic, and (2) I really want an RSS feed of them to use in my email signature (something I don't have yet). After I created this thing, I subscribed to the feed myself using my own twitter account (ten7) and like to see the little messages. However, I think there is just one other legitimate user following fortunetweet whose name is m4cks.
Anyway, here is my problem: in about the span of 1 minute, I got told that I had 9 new followers! "Sweet!!" I thought, hoping that the program was magically discovered and would set the twitter ablaze with its popularity. Not so. Turns out all the new followers are the names of current presidential candidates with numbers appended at the end, for e.g. ChrisDodd53, DennisKucinich4, etc, etc. Then, another blast of new followers, all starting with "slick_*". Curiously, none of the posts that any of these characters have are legible, or make any sense. In some cases, there are not even links to the pages that they are evangelicisizing.
So... could you please look into this? I think these guys are spammers. And if you could remove them, then great. I'll be sad that fewer people are following my own little robot, but I'd rather bave twitter be spitter free.
(Oh, and feel free to use the word "spitter"... I have a TM, R, (R), Pat. Pend. and all that other good stuff to earn me mucho royalties on it :)
