A comment on the idea "Growl notifications: use username as the title instead of "new tweet", "new mention" etc." in atebits:

Update, now I'm seeing some of the growl icons coming through properly. Maybe it's a cache thing? – rickrey, on May 04, 2009 19:07

Yes, I have to admit the old highlight color was sufficiently noticeable without being distracting.

Also use profile images as the growl icons!

Great update, though -- big step in the right direction.

A comment on the problem "Missing user icon" in atebits:

Twitter has disabled profile image uploads -- I think they're working on the problem right now. Let's see what happens when it comes back. – rickrey, on May 01, 2009 19:40

Yeah, that must be it. Definitely not an easy fix on your end. Guess we'll have to petition twitter to serve the *resized* images. Thanks. – rickrey, on May 01, 2009 03:27

2 more nonworking icons:

Thinking it may have something to do with the file format. PNG?

Gernot's reply to "Soocial still lurking in Mac OS X somewhere?" was just promoted to the most useful! rickrey and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

To remove the OSX client manually, do the following things:

• Remove the Preference Pane by right clicking on its icon
  
• Prevent the menu item from autoloading by removing it from the startup items in the user preferences
  
• If the menu item is still running, kill it with the activity viewer. If you don't, it will be gone after a logout anyways.
  
• There is a job that starts the launch of the sync process in regular intervals. Remove it manually by typing the following in the Terminal:
  
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.soocial.SoocialSync.plist

  Afterwards you can delete /Library/LaunchAgents/com.soocial.SoocialSync.plist from your home directory.
  

As the others said, the new version has an uninstaller that does all that.

A comment on the question "Soocial still lurking in Mac OS X somewhere?" in Soocial:

Thanks Gernot. Two quick questions for you.

1. Is it possible to unload Soocial from launchctl if you have already deleted the plist? Otherwise, should I reinstall then uninstall?

2. I'm still getting sync conflicts reported from iSync. I think it has something to do with the sync database. I tried resetting the database but I'm still getting conflicts. Does it have anything to do with this entry in the SyncServices directory:

~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/[longnumicalstring]

Is it safe to delete that directory? – rickrey, on December 18, 2008 19:58

Hey Philip, no it's not out yet. They got back to me via email, though they haven't yet told me how to manually remove all traces of Soocial. I'm still getting conflicts with my sync database. I did a Finder search for all references to "soocial" on my system (incl. system files) and removed a few files. There is also a reference to a folder in SyncServices that I don't want to touch until I hear back from the Soocial team. I even tried to reset my sync database with no luck. Honestly it feels really sloppy.

Hey guys, just wondering - how does one get hold of this official OS X uninstaller you speak of?

Gmail scheduled for manual sync?

Hey guys!

I just made a bunch of changes in my Gmail contacts and I logged into Soocial to see if I could sync everything up. But under the "Gmail engine" connection the status is set to "Scheduled for manual sync."

That doesn't sound right. Should I be worried?

Thanks,
Rick
