I think it's time to just redo your Flash recorder from the ground up, guys. I'm sick of "giving it another try" only to find the same damn buggy recorder. On my 2Ghz Black MacBook running Snow Leopard and the latest Firefox, just now, I got the recorder to record properly once. But I wasn't satisfied with the clip so I recorded it again. The 2nd recording looked like a successful recording, but all that displayed was the thumbnail from the previous recording. I clicked "redo" again and tried a third time and got the same results that I've gotten on previous attempts to record--just a black screen.

I'm no longer following this question on GetSatisfaction because I'm tired of hearing about how people are *still* having trouble with this recorder.

Same. It's driving me mad since I'm so close to having my various networks set up just the way I like and suddenly Tumblr stops taking posts from Ping. I reeeeeally hope there's a fix for this!

guess not.

Guess I'll be using Posterous I guess :\

thepete asked a question in Pixelpipe on September 15, 2009 17:28:

why did pixelpipe process my email post as a blog?

I've been emailing screencaps and lengthy captions from my iPhone to my Pixelpipe email address for a few days now and randomly, today, it does NOT post the screencaps and captions to my photosite accounts and instead treat my content as a blog. I didn't use any special short cuts--I did the same thing I always do and now I'm having to sweat about it since I don't want this to randomly happen again. I was just coming to trust you guys as being reliable (and nearly PERFECT for my needs) and now your service behaves inconsistently.

Guess I shouldn't complain too much since your service is free. Still, I'd like to keep using it, but if this kind of inconsistency happens again, I'll have to stop. Thanks for anything you can tell me regarding how this happened and how I can avoid it in the future!

By the way, the PixelPipe app for iPhone refuses to work for me. It insists I have no photos on my device when I do. Not sure what that's about.

Any news on this?

thepete replied on July 15, 2009 18:12 to the question "how does the wordpress plugin work?" in Zannel:

I squinted and could only then make out the second field for password--sorry--I should be complaining to the Wordpress people, not you. I don't understand the current fascination with making UI elements so light as to make them invisible if you're not at just the right angle in front of your LCD screen.

Sorry to bug you. All better now.

Perhaps if you put the password field below the username field it might help?

thepete asked a question in Zannel on July 14, 2009 18:04:

how does the wordpress plugin work?

I don't get how the wordpress plugin works. It gives one field for both username and password. I enter in my username and password with a slash in between them like this: MYUSERNAME/MYPASSWORD

Then I click "test login info" and the test fails. I apologize for my rudeness, but wth is this?? What coder puts one field for both username and pass?? Now I feel like I've wasted my time trying to use this plugin in the first place. :(

How do I delete all of these extra posts? Clearly something went wrong--I am not trying to nag the folks at Twitwall.

please give us tags, categories and/or #hashtag support

tags, categories and/or #hashtag support - I don't think all of these is a good idea, but some way to group themes of posts would be great. At #140conf last week, the word "hashtag" was almost as common as the word "tweet".

I'm looking forward to this, too. Definitely something I will use. Thanks!

Great! I'll look forward to it. As I said in a post to my own Twitwall, I'm tired of the work required to maintain my own full blog. Twitwall is almost the perfect compromise for me if only I could monetize it with google ads and have a way to always plug my friends' sites. A customizable sidebar will do just that. Thanks for the fast reply, too!

customizable sidebar

customizable sidebar--I'd love to be able to add Google Adsense or a blog roll or other similar things.

The pic I added to this post is a screencap of option 2, below. It asks me to select a product or service but only displays something in a language I don't recognize. I'm checking it because I says I have to.
