scooter's dashboard

scooter started following the idea "quick archive for gmail messages" in threadsy.

scooter replied on September 28, 2009 15:49 to the problem "Doesn't work in a site-specific browser (aka Fluid)." in threadsy:

Well, that sort of worked, but now every click on reply freezes the app. (I don't think that was happening a few days ago.)

scooter marked one of Ben Edwards' replies in threadsy as useful. Ben Edwards replied to the problem "Doesn't work in a site-specific browser (aka Fluid).".

"begining fetch attempt" spelling error

Begining has two n's in the middle. Hey, figured you'd want an easy one to fix.

Doesn't work in a site-specific browser (aka Fluid).

I used Fluid to create a SSB for Threadsy, so I can put an icon on my dock (Snow Leopard) and just launch Threadsy in its own window. The Facebook connect dialogs are not at all happy with this, though, and end up opening in other windows to blank pages, the SSB gets extra windows, etc. Just doesn't work.

(I know that in the early days this is an edge case, but thought it was worth reporting anyway.)

scooter replied on September 19, 2009 07:16 to the question "What feature would you like threadsy to add the most?" in threadsy:

OK - if I really have to pick exactly one, and I already have way more than that, despite only a few hours' worth of use - well, I'll pick two, one small, one big. (I'm really trying to answer "what will keep me from using other clients any longer")

Small: for gmail accts, add archive as an option from the inbound list view, rather than just putting it behind the click.

Big: implement the threading model of gmail in some way, so that my inbound list has ~1 message per thread.

(I also really need some kind of labeling system - just a flag/star would be a fine start - though that clearly adds a whole other level of complexity.)

These combine to keep the email part of this manageable. No similar needs (yet?) around twitter or fb.

Agree, this worked fine for me. You may need to enable outbound SMTP relay to send mail - I'm not sure about that.

Sorry, by "iPhone site" I meant itracker.heroku.com, which is still exhibiting the behavior above.

iPhone site gives 500 error on one project, but not the other.

I have two projects on my account - login ID is scott at roosterpark dot com. One of them works correctly in the iPhone; the other gives a 500 error. Both projects were created within the last two weeks.

(I'm happy to explain in more detail but didn't want to put too much personal information here.)

yes, RescueTime is working fine with Safari (minus some weird idle issues)

scooter replied on September 10, 2008 03:25 to the question "Firefox 3 (on Mac) still not supported ?" in RescueTime:

Hey Rescuetime folks -

I'm having the same problem (no data from FF3 on Mac), and for obvious reasons it makes RescueTime much less useful. Any chance you have a workaround in place? Happy to help test/debug any problems.

oh, and when I sent "tracks" (which I've never heard of until I found http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to..., it still says I'm not tracking anything.

Twitter says I have no trackers but sent me a tracker message

So this is sort of a weird story, but...

Right when tracking launched, I set up a tracker ("track Amazon") to try it. I usually use twitter via web and didn't realize that tracking didn't work on the web, so it's never been useful to me.

Then I turned on SMS last night and received a message that was clearly from the track Amazon command (message from someone I don't know). So I sent "track off" and got back "You aren't tracking anything."

So I have some loose tracker in the twitterwebs somewhere, and I don't see how to get rid of it.

(P.S. Bring the FAQ back!)

seems nice but their registration form is currently broken. Time to want satisfaction somewhere else, I think...

scooter shared an idea in I want Sandy on November 29, 2007 21:47:

make the long cheat sheet available from the top level

I can't always remember the syntax for every command - and there was one page I once saw during signup, and then I'm always trying to find again, that tells me everything I can do: accepted syntax for new messages/replies/etc.

I can never find it again, the mini-cheatsheet when I click new is nice but not good enough. This seems like an obvious reference guide - can we have it on the top?

scooter replied on November 28, 2007 17:00 to the problem "my facebook twitter app never updates" in Twitter:

That worked - thanks! My twitter box on my profile is now updating.

This isn't updating my Twitter status, but I don't know if that's a different app that I'm seeing in the wild, a setting I haven't found yet, or a bug.

scooter replied on November 27, 2007 20:38 to the problem "my facebook twitter app never updates" in Twitter:

any other thoughts? the first response was so swift!

scooter replied on November 26, 2007 23:08 to the problem "my facebook twitter app never updates" in Twitter:

I mean when I post an update to twitter (via twitter.com, SMS, twitterific, etc.), that update never shows up on Facebook, either in my Facebook status or in the app box on Facebook.

scooter replied on November 26, 2007 21:32 to the problem "my facebook twitter app never updates" in Twitter:

ummm, probably a bit more info would help. i was mesmerized by the interface. :)

my twitter username is scottru, my facebook id is 500043850.

my facebook twitter app never updates

try as I might, I can't get my twitter app to update in facebook. The last update was on 9/8. I've installed and uninstalled the app a few times but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

FWIW, I was a very early Facebook install and my updates were protected: I unprotected them but it didn't seem to make a difference.
