What about, along the brag tack, a badge that folk could place on their infonethyperspace pages that maybe was a small month/calendar icon that had a single good stat in it. 80% for total completion, or 2,349 for total words, or something like that.

Seems the badge needn't be especially real-time.

Oh, and on rankings: top # of all time, this month, this quarter, etc...

Statistics Adds and Other Ramblings SAOR

Other stats that might be interesting. Total pages not just total daily pages. Total words. And all the other cool stat data slicing. Which days do you write the most, the least, average number of words written per daily attempt.

Maybe a more beefy stats dump would lead to splitting Settings, Stats, and Ranking into separate "pages" or task based clickies. Maybe then could beef-i-fy up those too. History of rank, recent change (a la billboard). And for settings maybe a configurable time for reminder email (including random option :), some subtle UI control (background, noticable text area focus), maybe a discrete save button when you want confirmation that the save is current (i've had to back through cached versions a few times to get that last paragraph), and oh, since it's christmas, how about daily pages being published for browsing?

The idea of anonymously searchable. Should be a significant traffic generator. More traffic, more people, more interesting data!

I'll stop now. Thanks!

Okay. 750words.org is pretty awesome.

folktrash reported a problem in cuisinart on October 10, 2009 20:40:

Turns off too quickly during re-heating

We have a DCC-1100 Series Cuisinart Classic 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker and it is a splendid device, except for one issue that has come up only recently, which is: when reheating a pot (or just keeping it hot while we drink it), it turns off too quickly.

The machine is only a couple months old, but now, we brew a pot, and the signal beeps happen saying it's done, then the signal for saying it's turning off. All fine. But when we go back to brew and turn on, it only stays on for a couple minutes (at most) which isn't keep the coffee hot.

This didn't seem to happen before. Possible defect?

folktrash gave praise in DreamHost on October 03, 2009 13:47:

I couldn't dream up a better host.

I've been with dreamhost for the better part of a decade, and from the beginning and to this day, I am satisfied with them as a host. It really is as delicious as a dream. Great attitude, swift support response, excellent value proposition (what you get for $120/year), and as a result of all this "they get it" behavior - a great brand.

I like you dreamhost. I like you like you. Will you go with me?

Does Gaiam not know about GS? Hmm.

Thanks for the clarification. This resolves my question.

There's a real answer, thank you. I'd recommend updating your app description. – folktrash, on October 02, 2009 21:15

A comment on the question "Data sources?" in iGarageSale:

This is the same ambiguity that makes me feel icky and close to requesting a refund. Is it cragslist or is it "mainly" craigslist. – folktrash, on October 02, 2009 20:27

folktrash asked a question in iGarageSale on October 02, 2009 19:29:

Data sources?

Do you only pull data from craigslist? You app description implies more sources.

Oh - here's a pic. This is the packaging from two sets.

Great towels; Terrible packaging.

These organic towel sets come with each piece individually wrapped in a non-recyclable plastic. Strangely atypical for Gaiam.

a) this is a web app, not an iPhone app, running in safari

I'm not going to be able to switch to the edge network just to post a photo. I'll mark this issue as resolved. Thanks for the active participation in a fix. I appreciate it :) – folktrash, on May 03, 2009 04:11

folktrash replied on May 03, 2009 01:34 to the problem "Submitted photo via email and no postie." in TweetPhoto:

The only convenient way to post photos to TweetPhoto via my iPhone is to initiate the post via the photo app. Take pic. Select. Choose email. Send. It's not going to work for me personally, to go to webmail first. (I'm not entirely sure how I'd browse for the photos...) Unfortunately, doing that only kicks off the Mail.app. This is the only reason I use the mail app anymore, but to try and send it via a browser is a breaker.
