The World According to Josh

It’s Christmas Day! And this photo meme comes to an end.

The link below will take you to the results of my 12 days of Christmas photo meme. I took the challenge from Ladybug Heather, although I think sh meant we were supposed to take all 12 pictures and post them at once. Since I like anticipation more than the event itself (typically), I decided to spread it out on the 12 days leading up to Christmas.

The order changes, due to each post being promoted to the top of my stream each time it is liked or commented on, but they are all there.

I got lazy on most of them. And I didn’t even try to make any of them Christmasy…just making sure they made the right number. Not sure if I will be able to compete with the folks doing the 100 day photo challenge next year. :p

Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my Christian friends, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Images first, then text, blah blah blah blah. I turned off the crop setting in wp settings/media, so now the thumbnails should be proportional to the max number I input (300 px). These were then imported after the change and it looks like so far so good. Ready to post. GO!

This should show 3 thumbnails (if they are small enough) in FF plus have a link to the remaining pic(s). This should post in less than 10 seconds thanks to the SUP plugin.

Dig it.

Sup Dog,

This is a test of the emergency FriendFeed broadcast system. Do not be alarmed. Do not undress. This post will be travelling at the speed of awesome thanks to this new plugin called SUP, explained and demostrated by FriendFeed’s Benjamin Golub here.

What did you do yesterday? Yeah? Cool. Oh, me? Nothing. Except I maybe launched a podcast with 2 friends from opposite corners of the earth: John Worthington of Brisbane, Australia and Mark Wilson of London, Ontario, Canada. Yeah.

I have neglected this blog sorely, yes. But now I’m here, so zip it!

I have been over at FriendFeed for the past 6 months or so. It’s more fun. It’s way easier to post stuff and you get to actually have people read what you write for a change, and they write you back. It’s amazing stuff.

So we created a podcast to get into the various aspects of FriendFeed and what makes it tick and why we love it and how to get the most out of it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

As if it couldn’t get any more manic, FriendFeed launched realtime usage today. (I believe it was today) At least, today is when Robert Scoble posted about it and the rest of the community was swarming around the topic.

Looking at the main stream in realtime proved to be headache and vomit inducing to most, but now I know how to filter it out. You can create lists and rooms (which have been features of FriendFeed for a while already), then activate them in realtime.

Rooms, specifically can also be embedded in webpages as active, realtime iframe widgets, as shown below.

Here’s an embedded real-time look at one of my fave rooms, the Random Lyrics room:

Tonight this room is very active:

I imagine the next 24 hours will yield many other great ideas for how to use this new feature. Looking forward to them all.

OK, that is all. Please feed responsibly.
