I am the ghost of groovymother.com. Woooooo!

This is an old page from Rod Begbie's blog.

It only exists in an attempt to prevent linkrot. No new content will be added to this site, and links and images are liable to be broken. Check out begbie.com to find where I'm posting stuff these days.

Enter your Facebook password

Enter your Facebook password

Setting up the Facebook app on Xbox Live.

Rather than the gorgeous OAuth flow used by the Netflix app for the last year (The Xbox displays a six-digit number, you visit the Netflix website on your PC, log-in and enter that number, Tada, everything's linked), the Facebook, Twitter and last.fm apps all require you to fiddle around, entering email addresses and passwords on an on-screen keyboard.

Oh, and remember not to change your password on those services, because you'll need to go through the dance again.

(Particularly like this: "If you can't enter the characters you need here, change your passwords on www.facebook.com")
