Nobody reads my LiveJournal anymore, but thank you to everybody in Russia protesting Putin's insane war against Ukraine. (I know it's risky protesting in Putin's Russia.) Here's hoping for peace and better times for all.| brad.livejournal.com
Happy 20th Birthday, LiveJournal! 🐐🎂🎉| brad.livejournal.com
Posting from the iPhone app. Maybe I'm unblocked now.| brad.livejournal.com
Long time no see. How's my baby doing?| brad.livejournal.com
If you've seen all my "test" posts over the past few days, you probably knew I was up to something. Indeed.... If you add your LiveJournal to your Google Profile (and your LJ links to your Google Profile and is crawled), and then you "Connect" your LJ to your Google Buzz account by adding it as a…| brad.livejournal.com
I'm 30 today. Happy Birthday to me! :) Come party tonight if you're around SF: http://crush3r.com/page/ytziecxddo| brad.livejournal.com
Etch-a-Sketch doesn't involve much hill climbing. GPS-a-Sketch in San Francisco does, however: Merry Christmas from me and whatever_art to you! * In other news: not going anywhere for Christmas. Staying in San Francisco, hosting a 10 person orphan dinner. But then going to the Caribbean on a 7…| brad.livejournal.com
This year's costume, with whatever_art: http://picasaweb.google.com/bradley.j.fitzpatrick/Misc#5398929204952872962 I tried to get http://bit.ly/whereswaldo but it was already taken (and awesome!), so I got http://bit.ly/whereswaldo2 so people might discover the awesome version by mucking with the…| brad.livejournal.com
Speakeasy peeps, Am I over-paying? (I'm assuming yes.) I currently have: DSL: Home Plus OneLink ADSL 6.0/768 Pro-Install (C) (activated 12/21/2005) PKG1822837 which is $105.95 (+ $6 fees) per month. I called to get it reduced and the guy on the phone was super vague and generally useless. Between…| brad.livejournal.com
Don't believe everything (or anything) you read here: http://www.vedomosti.ru/newspaper/article/2009/09/23/214519 I'm told that it's horribly "mistranslated" (probably intentionally) to make a more interesting article. I wish I brought my own recorder to the interview so I could post the mp3 of…| brad.livejournal.com
Muscovites, any recommendations on what I should do tonight in your fair city? SMS might be best, since I'll be leaving work soon probably. +7 (915) 353-36-83. Thanks!| brad.livejournal.com
Are you confused about the difference between PubSubHubbub and rssCloud? You're not alone. Here's how the confusion came about: Dave Winer invented rssCloud way back in the day. It only distributed lite pings, the callback endpoint was the IP address that you subscribed from, and nobody…| brad.livejournal.com
Open sourced as promised earlier... Squeezer ! Control your SqueezeCenter (aka SlimServer) and all your synchronized SqueezeBoxes, receivers, Booms, etc from your Android.... http://code.google.com/p/android-squeezer/ http://android-squeezer.googlecode.com/files/squeezer-0.1.apk…| brad.livejournal.com
Fun project of the evening: start of a Squeezebox remote control app for Android. And it works! Well, at least play/pause/stop. Much, much more to go, but just fun at this point.... Will be open sourcing it as soon as possible tomorrow. Update, 2009-08-12 2:23am: Squeezer is born.| brad.livejournal.com
I just got a call from a survey company, asking me to rate the quality of some service phone call I'd made recently. First she asked if I had five minutes to complete a survey about a phone call I'd made recently. I thought that five minutes was longer than the phone call itself, but I felt bad for…| brad.livejournal.com
wot? San Francisco Water does social networking?!| brad.livejournal.com
Google Profiles just launched a new feature that's too dorky and obscure to warrant an official "Google blog" blog post, so the product manager on it said, "Brad, you're dorky... you should post it. You do Social Graph API stuff. The right people would read your blog, right?" (roughly) So sure,…| brad.livejournal.com
Sierra's brother sent her a birthday "card": I do not support the holiday card industry. Happy b-day. Love, Ian M-S.| brad.livejournal.com
Went to Seattle with Sierra this weekend. Hung out with her parents and brother and went hiking with her dad and recorded it with the "My Tracks" Android app, which let me upload it to Google Maps: the 7.6 mile Hansville hike . Good hike & good app. Back to SF tonight.| brad.livejournal.com
Updated my old Facebook Phonebook Exporter / sync tool to work with Facebook's new layout.| brad.livejournal.com
Brett and I made a bunch of progress on PubSubHubbub today. Bunch of new docs, two Perl modules, protocol clarifications & spec cleanup, hub server updates, etc. If you haven't read about it, or it's been awhile, I encourage you to go check it out. We're looking for help with client libraries and…| brad.livejournal.com
When I read blogs, I'm more tolerant to grammatical mistakes. But the AP? C'mon: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/19/ap-obama-gores-foreign-po_n_188770.html .... At his news conference Obama said he didn't think he did much damage to U.S. security or interests by shaking the hand of Chavez,…| brad.livejournal.com
Happy 10 year birthday, LiveJournal!| brad.livejournal.com
Prior to joining Google I always joked that Google was the black hole that swallowed up open source programmers. I'd see awesome, productive hackers join Google and then hear little to nothing from them afterwards. When I joined I decided I'd solve this mystery and post about it but it's been over…| brad.livejournal.com
