Ever turn off radio for like six months or so? "173 new parts added!" was my update message.

It's worth noting that the goots finally updated his blog :-P

I'm accessing Radio remotely from the office. Most of the image links are /system/images rather than just /images. The /system directory is locked out for remote access. What gives? Is my template wrong?

Top 5 Lists

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 06:14:17 GMT

I watched High Fidelity again tonight. It's one of those films that I think some people "got" and some people "didn't get". I (think) I got it. At least I got something out of it. It also got me thinking about lists. Throughout the movie the characters keep coming up with Top 5 lists. "Top 5 All Time first track on the first side of an album," for instance. The main character has a Top 5 list of his ultimate jobs. I'm thinking a few lists of a personal nature might be a good thing right now to help clarify my feelings about the situations in my life. I probably won't share the personal ones with you here. But if I come up with a list with records on it, I'll let you know.
Semi-related, and I'm not suicidal at all right now people. I was thinking that, and have you ever done this, made a list of "things to do before I die?" I was thinking that on the one hand they're very optimistic and goal oriented, but theres a side to it that is like a defense mechanism. "Things to do before I die" can be rephrased as "I can't kill myself until I finish these things." It's like a way of reminding yourself that you have much to live for. Or that suicide would be a let down.
Again, let me state, despite recent events in my Marriage and Career, I'm NOT suicidal. Please don't read any subtle guilt trip or cry for help into this message. I'm fine. OK? I've struggled with it before, but not currently.

Manila Blogger Bridge for categories is here. I have not tried it - I'm still setting things up. One comment. The Userland Manila Blogger Bridge does not "edit" blogger entries. Maybe it's something I can work up to hacking soon.
Update: It works, but doesn't post the title or link. Definitely needs some hacking. Let me get throught more of the scripting tutorials, then I'll take a crack at it.

Excited

Ahh! It worked! The Manila-Blogger Bridge is now mirroring my Radio Blog on my Blogger Blog. Now! First question: How do I get this to happen for only a single Radio category? Second question: How do I get this to happen via the email-to-blog so I can leave my home computer (where Radio is installed) on and have it checking email and certain categories are published depending on the email address or however that works in Radio. Then when I want to update my Blogger blog, I simply send an email. Wakka wakka.

Helicopter

Add this helicopter to this year's birthday/Christmas wish list.

Manila-Blogger Bridge Test.

Sat, 06 Apr 2002 21:14:01 GMT

Trying out the Manila-Blogger Bridge in Radio. Hopefully I can get it to post to my Blogger-Powered weblog (s).

When did height and width attributes to the img tag go out of style. It's something so simple and yet, so many so called "professional" developers miss it. Why?

OK, so how do I add an enclosure to my posts?

Mary Lou Lord

Fri, 05 Apr 2002 05:15:56 GMT

I'm listening to Mary Lou Lord sing a Bruce Springsteen cover! It took me a few verses to figure out what song it was. It's the "Thunder Road" one. I don't remember if that's the actual name for it. The song is from the album with him and the big saxaphone player on the cover. That's the album that inspired me to be a musician. Whoa! I have the MP3 here. When I figure out enclosures, I'll post it maybe. She rules. Get her "Subway" album. It's required listening for life. When the song is done, I'm going to bed.
