Pagination

Hi, so pagination inst working on a static front page on my theme.
Looking at pagination and the hungryFEED code as someone who is new to php and web design am I mistaken when I say that it seems that the hungryfeed codes does not use get_query_var(‘page’); and if I wanted to edit to get pagination to work. (only the second page mind you , the first page appears fine), how would I modify it? I tried my luck and ended getting an error so bad WordPress deactivated the plugin o.o.
When I add hungryfeed to a different page it works fine though, however I need it on the static page one of the center pieces which otherwise works great.

codeplex:
Pagination Note: Use get_query_var(‘page’); if you want your query to work in a Page template that you’ve set as your static front page. The query variable ‘page’ also holds the pagenumber for a single paginated Post or Page that includes the <!–nextpage–> Quicktag in the post content.

HungryFEED:

$pages = array();
	$page_num = 0;

	if ($page_size)
	{
		// array chunk used for pagination
		$pages = array_chunk($items, $page_size);

		// grab the requested page from the querystring, make sure it's legit
		global $wp_query;
		if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['hf_page']))  $page_num = $wp_query->query_vars['hf_page'];
		if (is_numeric($page_num) == false || $page_num < 1 || $page_num > count($pages)  ) $page_num = 1;
	}
	else
	{
		$pages[] = $items;
		$page_num = 1;
	}

	$num_pages = count($pages);
