At http://message.diigo.com/message/658330 the bookmarklet is not working, please could you double-check the HTML etc. within the message?

I wonder whether Diigo messages sometimes break HTML in the same way that group topics do…

Watch this space…

Hi Chris

Please let us know:

* your operating system, and version
* your choice of browser, and version
* the version of your Diigo installation.

(From discussion of filters at http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/42412 I guess that you normally use an installed version of Diigo, but I can't find any notes re: your environment.)

Re http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/49100#8 does everyone in your classes share a similar environment?

Within or beyond classes, do any class members use/prefer Diigolet?

Thanks
Graham

To what degree is Google stepping into the spaces occupied by APIs such as ContextVoice?

Thanks for the script!

I haven't tried or tested it (I rarely use Firefox) but I'm sure that it will be greatly appreciated by more than a few migrants from Furl.

An oddity, with the title of the page; see
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/title-missing-from-all-annotations-and-diigo-about-48048

Any ideas?

Probably an issue with Diigo but I thought I might run it past you.

Cheers

If I'm in your network, you'll find an excess of noise from me.

Much noise will arise from old bookmarks, hundreds of which were imported years ago from Furl. At that time, for simplicity I marked all items to be imported as private.

Now: simply converting from private to public pushes these items to the forefront of my library.

… and I said, "don't worry, you won't get water in it"; then his first words in a year were, "STOP TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR FUCKING STARLINGS" and I nearly dropped him in the bath …

Quotes:

The Commoners, a Story about Starlings

• fascinating new video about European Starlings

  • uncanny vocalizations of one of these unsung mimics in this video’s introduction!

    
    

    

    • a moving image essay about starlings, poetry, and the purist rhetoric used to describe ‘invasive species.’
      • the tale of Schieffelin’s Folly, the ill-considered effort of one misguided lit-lover to collect every bird ever mentioned in Shakespeare and release them into Central Park

@ Lars

Many thanks for posting your
. Your references to the other topics are very helpful. We should expect someone at Diigo to pick up that topic in due course.

Assuming that those are encoding issues, then there's another tag that may be of interest: double encoding.

This page may be of interest to developers of applications for iPhone OS.

http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/how-is-diigo-backed-up-41260

It's good that Diigo's strategy includes off-site backup.

I echo the suggestions of Sean and others to make good use of Diigo tools such as export.

> … many people … lost data

http://www.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/dataloss reflects on the Ma.gnolia situation and another recent total loss – JournalSpace.

> when the Ma.gnolia server had a disk crash

Think of vinyl and shellac discs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/78_rpm#Limitations spinning at between
33⅓ and 78 revolutions per minute, or thereabouts.

Now visualise a stack of delicate platters spinning in a tiny space at
90 or 120 revolutions per _second_.

How many laptop users allow good time for data (such as the massive sleepimage) to be written to disk, then time for the disk to spin down, after closing the lid of their laptop? Many users move the laptop immediately after closing. It's a mini-miracle that hard disks last as long as they do ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Integrity tells us that

>> the head literally drags along the disk's surface until the air
>> bearing is established

Around three weeks ago I prepared a Diigo list,

reliability of hard disk, optical disc and flash media
http://www.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/disk-reliability

In brief: hard disks are _far_ less reliable than manufacturers admit, and from everyday softwre, firmware, hardware, S.M.A.R.T. etc. we can not expect any forewarning of minor or major disk/drive failure.

The nearest I ever came to disaster was when Windows deleted then overwrote a user's files — without warning — minutes after the files' creation. In those few minutes, no opportunity to backup. As Windows almost immediately wrote files in the spaces on disk previously occupied by the user's files, the user's data was totally irretrievable.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/165398 offered information after the event but we should have preferred Windows to present information before the routine deletion.

On another occasion, a failing module in a RAID array brought the attached server to near-standstill (I said goodbye to a weekend, and more) but thankfully the RAID design/configuration allowed the array to rebuild itself perfectly, without intervention, following introduction of a replacement module.

The moral? Backup, locally and remotely. Uppermost in http://www.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/dataloss is
'The Tao of Backup'; at a glance, this is recommended reading.

Don't lose sleep :)
