Social media convergence at it's best!

Just saw how the Explore page randomly picks people from my twitter 'following' list and allows me to see what's in their reader lists. Now that is what I call a super-awesome convergence of social media!

A comment on the problem "The 'latest' view seems to be broken with the new 2.x.099 release" in Feedly:

The update seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for the quick response and continue the great work. I'm eagerly waiting for version 3! – pixelator, on October 27, 2009 09:08

Ok, here's something of a pattern. It happens only the first time I launch Feedly after a cold boot. After going through a few topics individually, I am able to access 'latest' just fine. It works every time thereafter, even when I restart the browser. No errors in Firefox as far as I can see. I guess it's just the lazy loading issue and probably bandwidth-related as well. I run Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows XP on two separate computers, with an average connection speed of 256 kbps.

Update: It seems to be working after I've spent some time in the app. Not sure if there is a pattern to this. It's clearly not a bandwidth issue, though.

The 'latest' view seems to be broken with the new 2.x.099 release

For some weird reason, the 'latest' view just shows blank now. It is set as my 'home' layout, so when I fire up Feedly, it's all blank. I can use the other views without a problem, but if I try to go to 'latest' from somewhere else, nothing happens.

Yup. Working fine now. Thanks a ton!

Ways to mark multiple posts as read are not working

With today's 2.x.8.4 update, most of the 'mark as read' methods are not working - the number next to the feed title in the 'Overview' layout, the '# unread articles' next to the title of an open feed. The only thing that seems to work is the check mark at the top-right.

This is happening on my work and home computers. Both are running Windows XP and Firefox 3.5.3.

A comment on the problem "Sidebar issue" in Feedly:

Yep, works for me too. I must have changed the zoom factor by mistake somehow. Ctrl + '+' did the trick. – pixelator, on September 27, 2009 03:50

I'm running Windows XP with Firefox 3.5 on my home computer and laptop, and have the same problem on both.

Evernote Windows messes up the formatting of code copied from a web page

For some weird reason, every time I copy and paste text that contains code snippets from a website into Evernote, it totally messes up the formatting. It decides to totally ignore all line breaks and puts all the code in one jumbled up mess!

Interestingly, this seems to now happen even if I use the bookmarklet to save content off a web page. I recently clipped some text from a page with code snippets. It showed just fine in the clipper pane, but when I synced it with my Evernote Windows client, the code was all bunched up together. This is the page, in case anyone wants to check - http://design-notes.info/tutorial/wor...

thanks! I'll check out those extensions.

pixelator asked a question in Mozilla on July 21, 2009 16:54:

Why does firefox have to reload all my tabs every time it restores a session?

I love the way Opera opens up all tabs from a previous session in a snap. Firefox on the other hand, insists that it reload entire pages for every tab. This used to happen mostly after a crash in earlier versions (3 & 3.5), but since the 3.5.1 update, it decides to reload each tab every time I start the browser. On a slow connection like the one I have at home, this means an insane amount of time before I can start getting anything done!

Question is, why doesn't it load the existing pages from the cache (I have tried increasing the cache by the way, to no effect) and let me decide when to refresh a page?

pixelator started following the idea "bit.ly support for url shortening" in Destroy Today.

More obvious category colorization

When I categorize a message, the entire message row should get colorized, instead of just a tiny color box. I use categories to define action for messages (act upon, reply, forward, etc). Colorizing the entire row will make the actions much more obvious. Here's a sample:
