Song of the day: A Sort Of Homecoming.

Just thought I'd point out that Radio Userland ships soon, and along with it a new era in Frontier-based scripting for those who do not need Frontier as a server platform. Right now I'm developing a Tool that runs unit tests on our internal XML-RPC server. Sweet!

I've started using Radio Userland again recently, and have found that its upstreaming-via-ftp feature is a great way to get file and images onto my static server. That site is now media central for this site.

I've changed the behavior of the links on the post titles on redmonk.net. Clicking the title will now take you to the thread page for that message, which I think is more useful (and prettier too). If you want to view just the message, or link to a post, use the "Msg Link" link just below the post.

Jim is mocking me... I just re-discovered blogtracker, née the SubHonker Filter. Dan has even has a Mozilla sidebar for it. Joy Joy! Now I can get all these pesky Weblogs out of my bookmarks.

Nooooooooooo!! The Tick, Fox's live-action version of the great comic and animated show, is being cancelled. Oh what hath Fox wrought?

Brent from Userland wrote up a description as to how Radio Userland 8.0 is a Mac OS X app. I don't know how much Radio is going to cost when it is released, but 8.0 may be the version to bring me back to Frontier.

I have nothing to post.

Found on SlashDot: an external SoundBlaster box from Creative. Looks pretty cool. It's got a bunch of inputs (including midi, optical, two minis - device and mic, and more) and as many or more outputs, including 5.1 surround. Wow. Neat.

...and you're near a Trader Joe's, pick up a four-pack of Virgil's Rootbeer. Good, good, stuff.

One of the things I like about the new iMac. Check out this picture from Chris DiBona - the iMac seems "eager". "Use me!" it says.

Jodi's at Macworld, so I'm chilling at home tonight, enjoying rented entertainment. The score so far:

Fun with the Digital Hub idea...

Check out this pic from Cameron The Alien's latest adventure. Mom Warning: language ;-)

Doc has a really cool article over on Linux Journal, reporting from MacWorld. BTW Doc, I think someone already has the Ox, I'm not sure. (I can see it in my head, but for the life of me I can't remember where to look for it.)

"You can consider it the little brother version of Windows XP," said Gates.

Gates again at CES: "When I created Microsoft 27 years ago, I never thought I'd create something that would allow me to humiliate myself repeatedly."
