Adam Curry is having performance problems with Radio Userland, too. (Adam is on Mac OS X I believe). Dave's suggestion:

Radio v. NetNewsWire
Dave on NetNewsWire's recent support for scripting:
For what it's worth, of course, Radio's aggregator has had infinite extendibility with scripts for a long time, on Mac OS X, with AppleScript, etc etc. (link) Yes, Dave, but NetNewsWire is a full Mac OS X app, not a Mac OS X shell on a Mac OS 8 app with a Mac OS 7 interface. It also runs, without crashing, for days on end, and without ever making a bump on the performance meter.
Google changes in-depth
As several people have already noted, Google has made some major changes in their most recent update. The weblogging community was hit hard... (link)

On the other hand can you imagine me with a job? I'm thinking, can you imagine Dave with a BOSS?
The Name Game
Mark Pilgrim has posted a (exhaustive as far as I can tell) history of the battle over RSS.
BBEdit Shell Worksheets
I'd never used MPW, so when I (almost accidentally) opened up one of BBEdit's new Shell Worksheets, I was a bit perplexed as to what I was looking at. It looked like a lot of text - a document - but there were commands in there as well - and the type of document I was looking at suggested that you could do something with them. Indeed, say the instructions - put the cursor at the end of one of the lines containing a shell command, and BBEdit AutoMagically behind the scenes runs the command in a shell, and dumps the output right into your document. OMG. This is... amazing. Hm. Combine this with a command-line xmlrpc client, and strange (and frightening?) things could happen... Muahahaha -)

Doc was right
Doc Searls said "And if nothing else works, unplug your cable modem for an hour or two. It's a piss-on-a-spark plug solution, but it works."
Well, we unplugged the cable modem last night, and the linksys just to be sure, and plugged it all back in 12 hours later. Sure enough, I got online first time, and have had no hiccups yet (knock on wood). Thanks Doc!
Doc on Cox.Net
Doc Searls has been through some of the same connection hell that we have with Cox.Net. He's still upbeat about it, while we're pretty frustrated. I'm going to try some of his sugggestions, however, and try to remain calm. We've been mostly off-line for almost 10 days now.
Andrew Sullivan
I've started reading Andrew Sullivan's website pretty much daily. He's a fairly prolific blogger, now we just need to get him to make his posts linkable. Doc agrees.
HyperCard and the Web
_What if you could design, create and edit a stack in a single outline? That's what I have working. Instead of the runtime being Hypercard, the runtime is the Web. _
I have a problem with this... I learned to program using HyperCard and HyperTalk. What Dave has working is HyperTalk in an outline, with placeholders for GUI elements. Frontier has a great outliner. I won't dispute it. But an outliner is not the place to develop visual interfaces.
