FaceHack
October 6th, 2007
As emo as that sounds, it has nothing to do with knives. Although it does have something to do with resiak (he tidied up my regexp, and notified me of the bug in the first instance).
FaceHack is a tiny application that gets around the facebook inability to import from URLs with GET paramters (?’s, or question marks, as google will like to index them as) – this is ideal for you LiveJournalers, etc. because they use stuff like http://resiak.livejournal.com/data/atom?tag=facebook
It’s currently verison 0.1a and you can download it and run it to cludge around your own specialst URLs without having to wait for facebook to wake up.
Will obviously work for other type people who have this bug too.
Patches welcomed, and, yes, I will host URLs for you, friends, if you contact me and give me the URL you want "hacked".

PS. Try Essk’s Ubuntu Countdown for Facebook; and leave her nice comments if it doesn’t work.
