Time Saved. Time Saved. No more.
Yes, the infamous “Time Saved” mantra/bug that has been plaguing my feed for a while now has finally been dealt with, thanks to the efforts of my dear friend Joseph Keenan. The problem related to the version of Spam Karma — an anti-spam plugin for WordPress — I was using. Joe combed through files, and found that it originated from the plugin. Updating to a newer version fixed the problem.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition is January 11.
PLAY is a series of events with Jean Snow spinning some of his favorite virtual discs in a casual setting at Cafe Pause. The next edition happens in January. See the setlist for previous editions here, and subscribe to a feed of the mixes.

Yes, But now you need a new catch-phrase!
“Time Saved^2″ kicked ass…!
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I would never see the time saved in any web-based RSS reader except Google. Bloglines didn’t show it for some reason. Onward and upward.
Yeah it was just niggling at me too much.
Gave me an excuse to do something productive with all the free time I’ve had at work lately, and now I have a better understanding of wordpress.
This understanding is yet to translate into anything very concrete, though, as my own site attests.
Hahaha… Yeah, I should come up with a new mantra, change it up every week!
What a shame. Now I have to devise a new time management strategy. I saved so much time every week just by regularly coming here!
I will miss it. Such a powerfull catchphrase.
Time saved
Time saved
Sounds like you’re going to have to downgrade Spam Karma, Jean.
Not as powerful a catchphrase as Konami have, though, who purport not to merely save time, but to create time, and valuable time at that.
We could borrow Bandai’s old slogan:
ACTION!
SATISFACTION!
Only two words and you’ve cut to the heart of Konami’s catchphrase and retained the Power mantra qualities of Time Saved*Time Saved
Hahaha…
i to found it very satifying some how. like i had gotten something done. viva time saved time saved
