I installed my own status.net service!

People who are using their own status.net service, or identica can still follow me remotely by going to: http://status.paradize.be/bdeferme and clicking on subscribe.

In the subscribe box you have to fill in your account, e.g. myusername@identi.ca or myusername@mystatusnetinstall.tld

As I wanted to post a comment to a post on Gert's blog I registered myself on http://en.gravatar.com/.

I was amazed and happy to see it work on Gert's blog, so I decided to integrate the gravatar module on my blog too! So now, when you post your comments on my blog, your gravatars will appear!

 I'm really in love with this project, so before posting your comments, please do go ahead and register yourself on http://en.gravatar.com/ :-).

 Some more information:

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on blogs?

I submitted Irssibook to the facebook application directory, and this is what I received:

Hi Bert,<br /><br />Thanks for your submission of "irssibook" (38098879188) to Facebook Platform's Product Directory.  Unfortunately, Facebook can only provide developer support in English (US) at this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but the rest of this email is in English (US): <br /><br />We have reviewed your application, and unfortunately cannot yet add it to the directory at this time.

It is a violation of the User Terms of Use (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php) for users to "use automated scripts to collect information from or otherwise interact with the Service or the Site".

Please fix this problem and resubmit the application.

Thanks!

The Facebook Platform Team

In the past,

I had a script, this script updated my facebook status from within irssi by using a POST request to the facebook main site. Unfortunately this does not work anymore. Partly because this style of scripting is against the facebook TOS(Terms of Service).

As I wanted to continue to be able to update my facebook status from within irssi, but also be compliant to the facebook TOS i decided to create a script that uses the facebook API.
