Test MT Weblog Post

Talking with Doc on the phone

Telling me about EllisIsland.Org.

There's a Linux angle to it.

It's Oracle running on Linux.

Larry Ellison's customers.

"This is really great," says Doc. "What's missing here is the involvement of the people. There are geneology weblogs. Syndicate it. Check out RSS. Does it work with XML? Yes, it is XML. Oh I'm all over that."

Milestone -- This software has a tester

I sent a copy of myWeblogOutliner.root to Adam Curry.

He doesn't care if it doesn't work, I mean he cares, but it doesn't ever seem to phaze him. After Adam I'm going to send it to Mitch Ratcliffe. I watched him take notes at the Supernova conference and thought "We can make that work much better for him." I told him this at the conference, and he followed up with an email.

Then I want to get it into Dave Sifry's hands. Doc writes for Linux Journal's blog, which is Moveable Type and Sifry manages the site. Doc needs the outliner. Configuration is going to require a Masters in Computer Science (not really) so I want a technical user who's kind of a Radio newbie to test it for me. That's Sifry, for sure. Once configured Doc will know exactly what to do.

How to make it work with Moveable Type

1. Create a new table at user.myWeblogOutliner.sites.mtSite. Set it up with the same sub-elements as the localRadio site, ie blogId, enabled, etc. Is rpcPath the same for all MT sites? (/cgi-bin/mt-xmlrpc.cgi)

2. Set user.myWeblogOutliner.prefs.currentSite to mtSite.

3. Create a new post. It should go to your MT site. I'm going to test it now.

After a bit of fussing it worked.

Notes

Each blog post remembers which website it's associated with and the id of the post, so we will be able to save them locally and when you edit them, the changes will go up to the weblog.

Just some songs

Elvis Costello: New Amsterdam.

Elvis Costello: Radio, Radio.

Eurythmics: There Must Be An Angel.

Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop.

Fleetwood Mac: Songbird.

Testing a Local Outline

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 11:41:16 GMT

How this software works

1. Open a new window. Each window corresponds to one weblog post. Think longer -- a post is more like a document. You might just do one post a day. Or one post for one project for a day (an example would be one of the World Series outlines I did in October). The command for opening a new weblog post is in a ridiculous place. I'm sorry. I'll be saying that many many times.

2. Enter an outline.

3. Save.

4. Make a change.

5. Save.

6. Repeat as necessary.

A nice song for today

Listen, do wah do, do you want to know a secret? Do wah do. Do you promise not to tell. Do whoa whoa, closer. Do wah do. Let me whisper in your ear. Do wah do. Say the words you want to he eee eee ear. I'm in love with you. Whoa whoa. I've known a secret for a week or two. Nobody knows, just we two. Oooh oooh ooooh.
