Kate asked a question in Whrrl on July 23, 2009 21:14:

How do I stop whrrl from sending me notifications?!

I gave Whrrl my info during Seattle's Link Light Rail first day event, and signed up to see the photos from that. Since then, I've been getting every notification (via email) from the user Erin Crabb and can't figure out how to MAKE THEM STOP.

I went to my Settings (Notifications tab). The only visible/available radio buttons for the first series of event types is "Don't notify me". I can't change those even if I wanted to.

I changed the distance setting to "the block I'm on". I'm ignoring the SMS settings because I never set up my mobile phone with Whrrl.

Can anyone help me stop the spam? I'd hate to have to close my whrrl account entirely. Thanks!

A comment on the update "Looking for a few good volunteers" in RescueTime:

Has this come out yet? I'm still crashing regularly and the debug_log.txt doesn't contain any more info. – Kate, on March 23, 2009 21:30

Sorry, my debug_log doesn't contain anything useful (just RT starts and stops).

I'm using Windows XP (32 bit) and Firefox 3.0.7. I haven't been able to reproduce the crashes, but they seem to happen when I'm working in the browser.

A comment on the update "Looking for a few good volunteers" in RescueTime:

Thanks. I quit RescueTime, then downloaded and ran the installer at http://www.rescuetime.com/installers/....

When I open the RT window, it still says I have 2.0.0.479. – Kate, on March 20, 2009 18:54

I've been using it for a couple of days and it crashes 1-2 times a day. What information do you need? The coredmp file? Some RT log?

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to prod it to update. I'm running 2.0.0.479 and want to update to the one you mentioned above. Should I just wait?

Please make a desktop client

This sounds like a great idea, but I don't want a browser plug-in. If you make a standalone (or AIR) client, I'd jump on it.

Kate replied on December 29, 2008 20:41 to the problem "dns error" in TinyTwitter:

I finally solved this problem on my Blackberry! I'm not entirely sure what did it, but I think it was upgrading the Blackberry OS to the latest version (4.6.0.180). In the process of that upgrade, it wiped and restored everything on the BB, and after that TinyTwitter miraculously worked again.

This problem wasn't caused by TinyTwitter but either the T-Mo network or the BB software (because all third-party apps I tried that make a TCP connection were failing). I'm thrilled to be able to use my favorite mobile Twitter client again.

If you have T-Mobile, the link to get the latest version is http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade

Thanks for the reply. After my previous post, I kept looking around online and found a solution that fixed it for me:

- In C:\Program Files, rename the twhirl folder to something else.
- Download the .air installer for twhirl, then run it.

Now I'm twhirling again!

The same is happening for me (on Windows XP). I even tried to download and install Twhirl from twhirl.org and got the same error. I now have a non-working Twhirl and no way to successfully upgrade!

Filter out non-human twitter users

This data would be more relevant if you filtered out non-person twitter users. Examples: cnnbrk, rtm, mymilemarker.

I'm on 4.6 (flip pearl) and have not been able to get TinyTwitter to work despite hours of online research and tech support calling to T-Mobile and RIM.

If TinyTwitter could add the ability to do a BIBS connection (instead of just TCP) I bet that would make everything work.
