Excellent; although I'd still appreciate the log - otherwise knowing which line of code is causing the problem is harder to diagnose!

Are their names similar? Or did you have your girlfriend's facebook.com URL in his contact? More details, please :-)

"It's just one of those things" isn't valid - if Hermes can't be trusted to update the right contact, it's a major bug! (Not one I've seen with my 400 contacts, but there's a limit to our testing).

One is called Carnaghan and the other Mercer, so not similar at all really. It's given him her birthday and everything. I'll report the bug when I get a chance - phone's charging after an afternoon of playing with it and the football starts in an hour. I will send it over though

Is there any progress on hyves support for hermes?

tried it again today and it worked. maybe it takes a while for facebook to expose the authentication?

Tried LinkedIn sync, it works really great!
Is there any livejournal or plaxo sync WIP?

Please see, vote for, and perhaps even expand the information submitted for enhancement requests:

• 6991 - Request for Plaxo as data source
• 6992 - Request for LiveJournal as data source

Both requests are waiting for someone to investigate the services' respective APIs to see what information may be pulled from them and how it might be matched with existing contacts. It would be wonderful if you could assist with that.

Thanks. Fredrik's got a good handle on Plaxo and it should be straight forward. When we do that, we should also pull in the additional information like phone numbers and email addresses that LinkedIn provides.

However, we're taking at least a week's breather and it's very important to realise we are not considering adding syncing. Phone numbers for your LinkedIn/Plaxo contacts will be copied to your contacts (if turned on in preferences) if they are missing. If you edit them they will be re-added when you next run Hermes.

Hey Andrew,

Newest release still doesn't populate all my Twitter contacts for some reason. Does it discard accounts without first and last names set or something similar?

Thanks.

When will the N900 community escape its Twitter and Facebook biased development? Nearly a year from release, and nothing but multiple FB and Twitter clients, yet no MySpace, Tumblr, or Hi5 support.

I've asked, as have others. Android devs get it. iPhone gets it. Blackberry gets it. Why can't Maemo/MeeGo??

Tunnel vision has stymied N900 development more than anything. I wished I knew how to code. Most everyone else is too busy for anything not used in "Silly" Cone Valley.

The N900 was released in late November - early December 2009, so "nearly a year" is approximately doubling the time time that has actually passed. Your point would stand without the exaggeration.

Programmers working for free, in their own time, do tend to select the projects that interest and benefit them personally.

And Jaffa asked that you, and anyone else wanting expanded service support in Hermes, open an enhancement request in Bugzilla for each service so he could track the information--and the various services' importance to the community. When that appeared to be a barrier, I openned the MySpace request for you. I'd hoped the head start would help as you provided the remainder of the information Jaffa requested.

Unfortunately, that enhancement request was never updated with additional information, and of all the N900-toting, MySpace-using Maemo community members out there, only one felt the service's addition to Hermes important enough to devote a few moments to voting for it.

You could have assisted with the development of Hermes in the direction you wanted without knowing the first thing about coding. Yes, it's a royal pain that a shared sign-on system for *.maemo.org still isn't in place, but if you've too little free time to open an account and vote in support of your own interests, it seems odd for you to complain that others haven't given up much larger blocks of their own free time in support of interests that aren't their own.
