i love, love, love my kindle. the only thing i don't like about it is how much space the hardware keyboard takes up, especially when compared with how often i use it (once a month or so - i download a bunch of books at a time and then forget about it)
so the touch screen nook is right up my alley, AND in my price range (considering my kindle was a gift), but now i have invested so much time and money in building up a kindle library - there's very little incentive for me to move over
Switch your ringer to silent, use the volume controls...
this appears to affect third party apps too. I turned on a third-party media app, turned the ringer to silent, and it replaced the volume level with "No volume available"
@KyleCronin i used to play way more, but i got frustrated because i only need one more achievement and i can't get it.
@SpareOom i'm not sure, but it may be because you need 15 rep to vote, even on your own question
@SpareOom but you can click the green checkmark next to the answer if you think it's the best or most correct answer (or if the answer's tips worked for you)
i'm not sure exactly, but as far as i know he was looking for sites that were large-ish to begin with, but had a lot of expansion potential
so sort of the middling sites activity-wise that are doing pretty well on their own, but could still benefit from a push to make them into something larger
i think we have lion and gruber and other tactics that predate our involvement to thank for that so far, but we'll see if we can keep up the expansion!
i think the goal eventually is for us to be managing a few at a time. so i'll spend about a month getting some things on Ask Different moving forward, and then keep a finger in that pot while starting a push on some new site
haha, sort of... i do work-type-SE-related stuff during the day, but i now use my work account where i used to use a personal one for just asking questions and hanging out and such. so things are starting to... merge.
@Nathan my thoughts as a relative newcomer: a simple explanation at the moment of pruning would be nicest. A further improvement to the help (which I understand is already improved) would also be good. As I'm at the tail end of a misunderstanding — not realising that a commenter was also a poster (cross reference one of those blurred screenshots) — I should probably step back for a few days, maybe see it in a new light. Sound sensible?
@Nathan my actual train of thoughts when pruning occurred, repeatedly: (1) I mistyped, so I focused on, selected then copied the name of the commenter, tried again. Another pruning so my second thought, (2) maybe the commenter is experimenting with a hidden or special character (as we see done for CHAOS) and the hidden or special character causes an addressing failure in comments.
Third thought, (3) the username is unusually short so I looked (not for the first time) at the additional help and reassured myself that a three character username is OK. Tried again, another pruning.
My nth attempt was to put the commenters name in the midst of my comment (not at the beginning) without the @ sign, not expecting it to generate an alert for Lri but at least it was visible that I was addressing someone.
Joining Ask Different around the same time as people are announcing their presence with hidden characters played a strong part in me wondering what was wrong.
Cool. I tried that but had no feedback it matches - so I then tried all sorts of - and _ and whatever which probably broke the notifications for them in hindsight.
can I @ invite someone to chat? (specifically - I flagged the first question someone asked and they just commented. I wanted to engage them here to talk over how to make it better in real time
Now this is weird. Back in safari - I now get a different behavior than before. @@ shows the short list of people recently in the chat when several tries before - nothing.
Safari 5.1 (7534.48.3) in 10.7 (Build 11A511). If it helps to think obliquely, I also get a bleep when I command-c after selecting any text; no copy, and the selection is lost.
typing @@N offers Nathan then (IRC-like) keying tab accepts the offer and addresses @Nathan with one @
