Instructions in Italian; I found that Bing Translate worked well for me. http://www.andreabeggi.net/2011...

For Claudio's scripts, you can just click 'raw' on the Github page for the script to get the script file. Save that to a directory. So now you'll have ffexp.php in that directory. Edit it with a text editor to add your FF username and your remote key (get that here: http://friendfeed.com/account...). Those variables to edit will be near the top, right after the initial comment block.

In the final directory you want to place your FF export in, type "[path to php]/php [path to exporter script]/ffexp.php exportedFF.json". If ffexp.php is in that same directory, you don't have to give it the latter path. If PHP is set up so you don't have to give it the full path to the PHP executable, then you don't have to give it the former path either. And the exported filename doesn't have to be "exportedFF.json", it can be anything you like. But giving the the ".json" file extension will help remind you it's a JSON file.

In my experience, the system looped endlessly on the last 100 entries after 10000 or 10100 entries. I had 36000 lines in mine before I stopped it. Just look at the temp file in a text editor to see. You can probably stop the script just by pressing Ctrl-C in the command window.

how do you get it to get things past the 10100 entry?

Don't know yet. You can do it on the web by manually clicking that far (sigh), still hoping to find out how to get the API answer.

(sigh) indeed :) here's hoping there's an api answer that doesn't involve deleting stuff

oh yeah, I forgot about modifying php.ini. As in the Andrea Beggi post, uncomment the line about php_curl (";extension=php_curl.dll") by removing the lead semicolon. If you don't have a php.ini file, you might have a php.ini-development or php.ini-production file; copy either of those to a new file named php.ini.

I'm getting this: "Perhaps you mispelled the username or tried to access a private feed? Got a 'limit-exceeded' from Frienfeed?" I checked my username, and I went public. Which limit got exceeded? (I'm on a Mac.)

For those experiencing the loop, the issue was fixed today with 1.5.
