Steve Bogart's Radio Weblog

This site is not going to be updated with new content (and hasn't been since January, which makes it all the more puzzling why it's near the top of a Google search for my name). Anyway, to see what I have to say, visit my site http://nowthis.com/log/ My Radio weblog is a defunct site.

The menu at the top of one's Radio home page (http://127.0.0.1:5335) would be more useful to me if it contained a link for 'Weblogs' that pointed to http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/weblogsCom. It's odd that it was left out. I hacked radio.macros.editorsOnlyMenu once to add it, but that got overwritten in an update, so I'll have to parse the template files and add the link directly to the template(s) I want it available in. Bother.

Huh: Star Trek TNG DVDs [Slashdot] We got the first Babylon 5 DVD (In the Beginning/The Gathering) for Christmas. It looked much better on the screen than it ever did when I saw the broadcasts.

I've crashed Radio about five times now, at least once due to dodgy practices like running a copy of Radio 7 in OS 9 simultaneously with Radio 8 in X (I was trying to copy tables from one to the other rather than export-quit-launch-import. Boom! Oh well.) I can't reproduce the other crashes reliably yet, though, so I can't really submit a bug report. At least two of the others had to do with me messing with custom menubars. The best thing, though, is that Radio doesn't take down the rest of the system when it crashes. Why? Because I have X, yo. All the crashes were while I was messing with the app; it's not an unstable app at all for operations that non-developers will do.

This has definitely progressed since Radio 7... I mostly use the StaticSites functionality of Frontier/Radio to make my own sites (ex. NowThis.com) or sites for clients, so I'm not likely to be using this particular web space. But I felt like testing it just the same. Thanks to Userland for making it an OS X app! And $40 is a bargain. Looking forward to playing with the filesystem-based template heirarchy stuff.
