Why stop at just the song?

peSHIr replied on August 27, 2009 08:19 to the idea "Submission box" in SongsInCodeDB:

Mmm, since this is basically a DB of entries that are part of a Twitter hashtag, this sort of defeats the purpose. I won't mind if such a submission box would appear, but I don't need nor particularily want one.

peSHIr asked a question in Toyota on July 18, 2009 10:50:

How do you clear a stored GPS track from the Prius navigation system?

My 2009 Prius navigation system has the option of storing a GPS track by putting dots on the map. When you stop this function, it ask if you want to store this track permanently on the map. How do I remove such a track, without reseting the whole system to factory settings? Doesn't seem to be any GUI for this function, only for storing?

peSHIr replied on July 18, 2009 10:36 to the question "What is your tech support phone number?" in Advanced Quonset Technology:

Not sure if you can find an actual telephone number on http://www.hcatech.com/ somewhere. They do seem to react to email.

peSHIr replied on July 18, 2009 09:29 to the question "Does the Prius have fold down back seats?" in Toyota:

Unlike the Honda Civic hybrid (which has a fixed back seat because of battery arrangement), the Prius is marvelous for (not to bulky) cargo, as you can very easily fold the back seats down to get a flat loading floor behind the front seats.

peSHIr replied on July 18, 2009 08:57 to the question "Can I use the Ping.fm API to just shorten a longer URL to a http://ping.fm/whatever one?" in Ping.fm:

How soon is soon? Can you give any indication? Or is "soon" just support speak for "we don't know, just wait and see, it'll be there when it's on the site, and this may be never"?

peSHIr replied on June 06, 2009 13:53 to the problem "Cannot add images to Plazes any more" in Plazes:

It's been four months and I just found out nothing has changed yet with regards to the problem of uploading any images for plazes. Any info on a time frame for ditching Flash in the image upload process?

I include the JavaScript errors the site is still giving right now in case they might help you, even though you seem to already know what the problem is and the messages are far from illuminating:

peSHIr asked a question in Ping.fm on April 22, 2009 17:19:

Can I use the Ping.fm API to just shorten a longer URL to a http://ping.fm/whatever one?

My Ping.fm Dashboard says "Go ahead, post a link. We'll convert it to a short link before posting to your services." and I have seen shortened http://ping.fm/ URLs on Twitter.

I would like to add Ping.fm as an URL shortener service of peSHIr Tweets (http://is.gd/cob or http://getsatisfaction.com/peshir/pro...) and have registered an API key for this, but have not found an API call that enables the use of URL shortening alone. Does this exist?

If not, I'll just add ping.fm as a shortener service that is recognized by peSHIr Tweets. This means that (re)posting Ping.fm shortened URLs will not get shortened by peSHIr Tweets again using the shortener service the user has currently selected in its settings.

peSHIr replied on April 22, 2009 17:16 to the question "Not shorten links that start with..." in Ping.fm:

Good suggestion: my Twitter client (peSHIr Tweets) already includes this functionality. It recognized dozens of existing URL shortners and doesn't reshorten these when you (re)tweet these.

peSHIr reported a problem in IRL on April 21, 2009 12:01:

Why do you (seem to...) ignore Internet Explorer?

IRL Connect does nothing in Internet Explorer except tell me that my browser is not supported: "We don't have support for your browser yet. We do support Mozilla Firefox 3, Apple Safari & Google Chrome."

Is there a specific reason for this discrimination?

peSHIr replied on April 19, 2009 07:22 to the problem "Unable to add a picture to a card" in My Name is E:

Same here. (IE8/Vista)

peSHIr replied on April 18, 2009 08:13 to the problem "NOT 100% over https" in MyID.is:

Just to make sure this shows up in everyones dashboard as an actual new problem: check my comment above. I agree with Dave White.

When I go to http://myid.is/ (when not already logged in) I get a security dialog twice. Once when clicking Sign in here and the second time when I submit email address and password. Also, I get this same dialog when I click the Log out link on my dashboard.

To the average user this undermines the credibilty of your service, I think. You can say you don't believe this to be a problem, but (at least some) users seem to disagree...

A comment on the question "How do I change my home address?" in MyID.is:

I understand not everything can be done at once. You will probably only make haste with actually implementing this feature when the amount of manual support team work that has to be done for the occasional address change becomes more than the cost of implementing it. If so, please reply that instead of answering "soon". ;-) – peSHIr, on April 18, 2009 08:04

peSHIr replied on April 18, 2009 07:58 to the problem "Can't do anything, links don't work :(" in MyID.is:

Please don't focus on whether myid.is in in alpha or beta, but try to answer the actual question.

Those links on my dashboard are still non-functional.
I repeat my question: Any idea on a timeframe for "soon"...?

Renaming accounts doesn't work

It seems that when renaming an account it gets overwritten with the settings of the currently active account. Possible work around: make the account you want to rename the current account before trying to rename it. (Also: illegal characters in account names can cause the application to crash at the moment.)
