TechTV | First Look: Xbox Live

"There was no apparent lag time -- certainly a result of having a fast connection -- and the games ran smoothly. "NFL Fever 2003" played like a regular football console game, and it wasn't even noticeable that our opponent was elsewhere on the planet. "

Brad, looks like you now have a reason to get an XBox!

Delta gets it. About six months ago, the passenger to my right informs me, Delta Airlines installed the new information system that I just experienced for the first time at La Guardia airport this morning. It's one of the most effective uses of information technology I have ever seen. Even if you don't usually fly Delta (as I don't), you might want to wander by one of their gates next time you're in an airport and check it out. Air travel still sucks, of course, but Delta earns my eternal gratitude for a brilliant application that makes it suck less. ... [Jon's Radio]

Goodbye to OS 9.x

Mon, 28 Oct 2002 22:27:43 GMT

It's time: Goodbye to OS 9.x on my PowerBook. Last week I had to reformat the 18GB hard drive in my Pismo PowerBook and reinstall OS X 10.2.1, and along the way I completely forgot to reinstall OS 9.x as the Classic environment. I've decided I am not going back. If I need a legacy app, I will use it on my old PowerBook 3400c. No more Classic for me... [Mac Net Journal]

...for that matter, I'm new to the Mac and have no interest or desire to run legacy, classic OS 9.x apps. Does anyone know how to uninstall OS 9 and classic mode without resorting to reformat and install. I'm already running Jaguar, but it's an upgrade since my new iMac came with 10.1.x and OS 9. I want to remove OS 9, completely. Does anyone know how to do it?

Another post. Will this one end up on the main weblog or the "Triple Point Home" weblog or both?

It is Tuesday

It is Tuesday. Still experimenting with Radio and Blosxom. Still can't get w.bloggar desktop client to talk to Radio's (allegedly supported) Blogger API. I am also designing a transformation of Blosxom into a static content generation engine.

Brad, are you still listening?

Likely I will soon turn off this public (to weblogs.com) feed from Radio in favor 100% category oriented weblog hosted on Triple Point's intranet.

Radio has silently upgraded my RSS feed to RSS 2.0

Mon, 30 Sep 2002 21:25:18 GMT

"So it seems that Radio has silently upgraded my RSS feed to RSS 2.0"

So says Simon Fell. It seems like I'm not the only one who has been stung by this. Why did Userland do this? Why can I find nothing about it at the Radio discussion or stories sites?

I expressed some of the same frustration in this post on the Radio discussion site.

Simon, I feel your pain.

I can't help but wonder if Radio is used only by developer-types, because any/all true end-users would find themselves completely cut off from the rest of the subscribing world by this change, with no real way of knowing or figuring out what went wrong and why. I have to say that I can't comprehend a good reason for this. It was just a bad move.

As I tell my own developers here, sometimes the code that you DON'T change is just as important as feature you try to add.

Jon, I know you have been talking about RSS recently, but why did not mention this big change at Radio?

Testing xml.rss.viewRssBox() Radio macro

Mon, 30 Sep 2002 21:11:29 GMT

"Testing xml.rss.viewRssBox() Radio macro"

I just posted a new story on the subject of the viewRssBox() macro that is part of Radio. This is a nice little feature.

Testing on Monday morning.
