Bill Avellan? Wow, it’s been quite a while. I’m still at the same company, doing a little hobby programming on the side. What are you up to these days? I’ll email you and take this offline!

Thanks. I tried that. It didn’t work. Then I tried logging off and on. Then got a network timeout.

Otherwise, I think it’s a great gadget. It’s at the top right corner of my iGoogle page.

Hi Bill,

It’s not just you. I think you are probably experiencing a bug I introduced and fixed yesterday. You should be able to get back to normal by holding “ctrl” and clicking refresh. Let me know, I’ll be glad to help, and would like to figure out what else might be the problems.

thanks,
robert

Is anybody else having trouble seeing their main identica feed in the iGoogle BeDented window? I can see replies, but nothing else.

Hi Marina,
Thanks! I feel the same way about Identi.ca. I’m really interested to see what happens over time. Especially in the area of federation among systems, that could really alter the messaging landscape quite a bit.

Robert, thanks so much for working on the Identi.ca version. You rock! I’m excited about seeing where Identi.ca goes.

Comment on Twitter identity controversy? Or a Betwittered Bug? Oy! by robert

BeTwittered Bug squashed.

I hadn’t made it clear, but the bug found appears to be unrelated to the original controversy. In investigating things, Louis Gray came across a security bug and let me know the details and how to exploit it. I used the info he gave me to track down the actual bug in BeTwittered and fix it.

I’ve tested the fix in IE, and Firefox. I’ll be working through other scenarios over the next few days, but I’m confident that the bug Louis Gray found is fixed up.

Thanks,
Robert

Thanks to Louis Gray, I have zeroed in on the security issue. I’m glad to find that it requires a specific set of circumstances to create the issue. Now that I know what the issue is, I will begin working on a fix today, and implement it as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Robert
