Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

DiGiorno pizza is tasty food Permanent link to this item in the archive.

We don't have ads on Scripting News, but from time to time I put in a plug for a product I really like.

A few weeks ago I got a fantastic toaster oven, and I've been looking for food it cooks well. I picked up one of these DiGiorno pizzas and man they are some good food.

It's not Ray's, it's not NY pizza, which is still the best. Yeah it's made by Kraft and it probably is junk food. But it tastes soooo good!

Breakage in the new Twitter UI Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I happy to report that I have the new Twitter user interface on my account and it's nice.

However, apparently the "status" param is no longer recognized.

http://twitter.com/home?status=thisusedtowork

That would put "thisusedtowork" in the "What are you doing?" box. URL shorteners redirect to Twitter with the new shortened address in the "status" param.

This change breaks users. Any help would be much appreciated...

Update: Just got a direct message from Twitter, they fixed the breakage. That's excellent turnaround. Thanks!! ;->
