I have not posted personal items here for a long time. There are many things I could mention, and back-date to their proper position in the weblog, but I won't. The Radio UserLand software does not provide this feature out of the box. A workaround exists, which I've documented before, but it is fragile and annoying.

When shut down, Radio still crashes 50% of the time. My hopes for increased stability in the new version went unanswered. This is probably an issue with the underlying Frontier kernel, since Dave Winer's OPML Editor does the same thing.

Although UserLand recently updated the Radio software, the company is getting by on a wing and a prayer. Much of the coding is now done by volunteers. On the other hand, the software is reasonably priced. A painful tradeoff.

When Six Apart releases Project Comet in 2006, I'll have a hard choice to make. I would not be the first to leave UserLand for SixApart, and certainly not the last.
