ZarK replied on December 23, 2008 16:07 to the problem "Link sharing doesn't work in opera." in Spotify:

Here is a temporary solution: Disable automatic redirection for open.spotify.com.

To get to site preferences, either hit F12 -> d, or right-click on the webpage and select the "Edit Site Preferences" option (or, go to Tools -> Quick Preferences -> Edit Site Preferences in the browser menu).

To disable automatic redirection, first on the General tab of site preferences, make sure the Site says "open.spotify.com" - it will default to the address of the web site you were vising when open preferences. Second, go to the Network tab and un-tick the checkbox in front of "Enable automatic redirection".

So to put it short:
1. Edit Site Preferences (F12 -> d)
2. General -> Site = open.spotify.com
3. Network -> Enable automatic redirection = unchecked.

I'll see if I can come up with a quicker way to set this setting.

So did anyone at Spotify verify my solution?

Ah I see.. I misunderstood the problem then. I never actually tried using that link after getting the error :)

Then I found a temporary solution: Disable automatic redirection for open.spotify.com.

ZarK replied on December 10, 2008 10:51 to the question "How do I use URI's in Soptify through Opera?" in Spotify:

If I prepend the URI by spotify:// then Opera says it will launch this link in Spotify. However the URI spotify receives seems to be blank

For example,
spotify://spotify:album:7y3mI38gDOAV5ZFVdDmXdY
gives a "Link not found" notification bar in spotify.

ZarK replied on August 11, 2008 11:42 to the question "How long does it take for the thumbshots to be generated?" in Secondbrain:

And the thumbshots have arrived! :)

I would have hoped though that the thumbshots could be generated from the actual content-page instead of the tumblr post page, but I see this is not included in the RSS feed, however it is included in the javascript (http://zark.tumblr.com/js), along with full comments instead of stripped down as in the RSS feed.

I guess you don't want to scrape the output from the js though... but they offer both XML and JSON output from their API too: http://www.tumblr.com/api

ZarK replied on August 08, 2008 11:13 to the problem "Some minor issues with latest update" in Secondbrain:

Another tumblr issue: can you please also import the comments? They are available both in the RSS and the js. Comments in the RSS feed are actually stripped down - full comments (better!) are available from http://zark.tumblr.com/js if you don't mind stripping away the rest of the output :)

ZarK asked a question in Secondbrain on August 08, 2008 11:10:

How long does it take for the thumbshots to be generated?

I don't see thumbshots for any of my recently imported tumblr posts yet. I've incorporated free thumbshots myself on my tumblr blog design, and they usually appear within minutes.

I guess I'm just curious to see what the thumbshots looks like :) Hopefully not just the top-level domain?

Ya the one you linked looks nice, and made me recognize it. Nothing really wrong with current icon, the first thing I thought was "Oh, that's a nice icon they use for tumblr there." Then my second thought was "Hm... so where did they get that icon from?," probably since I just recently used their new icon on some bookmarklets and my web site. But now I'm almost sorry I brought it to your attention, since the "tumbling rose" is much more interesting than a white on black T.

ZarK replied on August 07, 2008 21:40 to the problem "Some minor issues with latest update" in Secondbrain:

Hm, sorry for the quadruple-posting.

Where did you get the icon for tumblr? Why not use their favicon, which is http://www.tumblr.com/images/favicon.gif? That's what I associate with tumblr.

Hm... neither get satisfaction nor secondbrain comment system manage to escape < and > correctly. Also, at lest get satisfaction fail to escape " correctly too.

Anyways, the tumblr links should be http://nick.tumblr.com instead of http://www.tumblr.com/user/nick

Some minor issues with latest update

Great update! Just some minor issues:

1. Tumblr link should go to http://<nick>.tumblr.com instead of http://www.tumblr.com/user/<nick>

2. GoodReads link should go to http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/<userid> instead of http://www.goodreads.com/user/<userid>

3. Under the \"Your services\" list on my Second|Brain main page, the icon for facebook is that of twitter.

That's all for now :)</userid></userid></nick></nick>

ZarK replied on August 07, 2008 10:42 to the idea "Second|Brain Facebook App" in Secondbrain:

I second this - Facebook is one of the few sites I want to put my lifestream on, and since I aggregate my lifestream on Second|Brain... :)

If you do make a facebook app, make it (= the content) look really nice! I've used FriendFeed, but don't like how it looked - it was all about FriendFeed instead of the actual content from my lifestream.

ZarK replied on August 07, 2008 10:35 to the problem "Authentication problem with Scribd" in Secondbrain:

Yah, I don't think I've ever used . before on any site. Joining late forces one to become creative to keep the regular nick though :)

ZarK reported a problem in Secondbrain on August 06, 2008 19:25:

Authentication problem with Scribd

I am not able to add Scribd as a service - it fails on authentication on username/password.

Could this possibly be caused by my username starting with a . (punctuation) character?
