Importing my Safari settings into Chrome was simple and fast. In Chrome tabs are located on the top of the window versus below the bookmark bar in Safari. There are other subtle differences that will be easy to adjust to as time goes by.

EDIT: Chrome imported all bookmarks from Safari but without my folder organization. Import order was as if folders did not exist, not alphabetically. This will make it easier to re-establish some kind of organization. Using six extensions with Chrome does seem to slow initial launch down a few seconds until google reader and gmail indications load, still not a decision to use deal breaker.

SETI@home

I added 3 more projects a few weeks ago. Mainly due to a lot of down time on my other projects from maintenance issues. I added:

Malariacontrol.net
ABC@home
SZTAKI Desktop Grid

These projects are running on 4 different computers that I own. Two of the computers are older and are dedicated to only running BOINC.

Since I am no power user and have well below the max of apps and friends, I find myself a bit apprehensive from doing much communication on or using Facebook. I do not want my meager actions to be deemed spam.

I do understand Facebook’s position in trying to limit spam and any other action that harms their community, but whatever algorithm or automated method they use to watch and track misuse needs to be improved in order to prevent the small causal user from surprise headaches.

One suggestion would be an actual warning well displayed on the users home page and an email message. Both could be sent more than once. First maybe 3 to 4 days in advance of disabling action as a warning. Then a second more threatening message 24 hours before action is taken.

Another way to get the message across could be a login re-direction to make sure of positive communication. When I tried to login after my account was disabled the login failed stating my account has been disabled by an administrator. This is where Facebook could try some kind of communication before taking extreme action. If the user fails to communicate to Facebook after a short warning period then Facebook should disable an account.

I did not see any warning message before my account was disabled. If it existed then it was not well placed or attention getting enough. All I got was a warning email:

Our systems indicate that you’ve been misusing certain features on the site. This email serves as a warning. Misuse of Facebook’s features or violating Facebook’s terms of use may result in your account being disabled . Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any questions, please contact warning@facebook.com from your login email address.

The Facebook Team

15 minutes later my account was disabled. Not much of a warning. I do believe that my posting of a duplicate message to the forums of the Zombies, Vampires, Werewolf, and Slayer apps probably caused the issue. Although by observation many others did the same thing and continue to do so. I assume the solution is obviously not to copy and paste the same message but to write a different message each time. What a pain since the purpose of the post is only to provide links and basic level info of my monsters.

Ultimately, a learning experience for me to be careful and not be lazy when writing.

I did receive a warning email from Facebook after my account was disabled. I replied explaining my situation and received an acknowledgment. I hope this is resolved soon.

This is frustrating due to the fact that there was no real warning and I have no access to my account info. I feel cut off, similar to when I lose access to my email or website, etc.

Has anyone else had this problem? What is the turn around time for a response?

Cross species fights are worth more points.
Thanks.

On my About page the image display for @home and in queue both showed the wrong movie duplicated in all 3 slots. The movie displayed was not in my queue or at home.

Later the above displayed titles reversed themselves. About 48 hours later the display was back to normal showing the correct titles with links.

This problem has happened twice that I know of. Not a big deal. But since I rent mainly TV series, the displayed image shown is a generic “image not available” from Netflix for almost all of the TV series selections. This defeats the purpose of having an imaged displayed, so I have changed to text w/link only.

Strange thing is I have a netflix app on my Facebook page that does correctly show all images for selected titles.

MenuMeters
MainMenu

MenuMeters is a menu bar app that provides monitoring tools – CPU, network, memory, and disk. MainMenu is a menu bar app that allows you to run various tools and maintenance scripts.

Both are unobtrusive and provide needed information and control. Every Mac user should use them.

If you have available computing time and power download the BOINC client and support a project that could find extraterrestrials with SETI@home or cure some human disease with Rosetta@home.
