Mike Krus: Radio TunningBlogging the power, the beauty, the simplicity, the what-the-hell-it-this-ness and this-is-breaking-my-balls-ness of Radio UserlandÝ8(Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Radio.root Updates: "system.verbs.builtins.radio.macros.viewFavoriteWeblogs changed on Fri, 22 Feb 2002 02:59:54 GMT: Allow the caller to specify pretext and posttext optional parameters." This can be done much more effenciently (in terms of final page size), by using CSS. Do something like: <style type="textcss" .FavWeblogs TD font-size: 10px; <style <div class="FavWeblogs"<% viewFavoriteWeblogs %<div and you're done. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, but it should work...http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/02/22.html#a102 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) I wonder if you can write a aggregator driver in Radio8 which overwrites the default one for RSS I'm not at home so I can't try... But if you could, I'm sure Jon would find it useful. He could write a driver which strips the description field or cuts it at 100 chars or something when the feed is read into the aggregator.http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/03/19.html#a168 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Adam Curry: Adam Curry: "euro.weblogs.com is up and running!" Europe is still debating about building it's own GPS system, but it already has it's own community server! (I'm sure the satellite theme is a reference the GPS debate ";-"). I just switched to that server, hope things go smoothly... Not sure what happends to my Radio8 category which is hosted on a userland server. Since it has it's own upstream configuration, it will probably remain there...http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/03/19.html#a169 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Hum, first errors: when changing community server, Radio decided I should not upstream by FTP and rather use the new server instead. It wiped out that part of my configuration. It also says (in the events) that it pinged weblogs.com when in fact it pinged euro.weblogs.com Finaly, it created 5 new categories for me ";-": My Friends, ..., etc. The default categories. Didn't wiped out the old ones thank god!http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/03/19.html#a170 IM Support in Radio- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Userland released beta version of an IM layer for Radio8 (and Frontier). So you can post to weblog from your IM client. And do losts of other things since it's an open platform for you to add more transport protocols and more ways of handling the messages. Could connect OK via Jabber (presence is not shown, is this normal). I managed to use the simple "state" command, but posting to the weblog failed. All i get back is "Sorry, I don't understand that." If you want to help, use...http://frontier.userland.com/tcpIm I switched!- (Found June 19, 2008 ) I bought, installed, configured and am now enjoying a iMac G4. I got Radio8 configured correctly, restored my categories, my templates, my upstream settings. Just need to find a way to get my old posts back. Archives are there so nothing should go 404, but I don't know how to get them back in the R8 database files... need to investigate! Anyway, it's a strange journey. So many simple things now seem to alien...http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/08/12.html#a306 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Radio Canada (CBC) asked us to remove their feeds from NewsIsFree which is strange since they provide XML files for their headlines for the main page, business, world news, politics, health (all in french, there might be more). Anyway, if you're interrested in their content and use Radio8, here's an aggregator driver for those files so you can continue reading them from the comfort of your aggregator.http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/06/07.html#a285 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) OK, I switched back to the main RCS server at Userland. euro.weblogs.com is broken and apparently unattented... Had the same problem as when I initialy swiched over to euro.weblogs.com. Namely: 5 got new categories I did not want, lost my FTP upstreaming settings, lost all my templates for the home page (categories are ok). Also had to go through Radio.root prefs to change my usernum to the one I initially had (instead of the new one that assigned to me when switching back). I seem to recall..http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/05/05.html#a252 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) The euro.weblogs.com RCS server seems to be left completly unattented. Referer counting has been broken for a few days. Very little updates show up. Only sign of life: the theme changed!http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/04/30.html#a243 (Untitled)- (Found June 19, 2008 ) Sometime ago, Userland tested OPML for the syndication of Scripting News. It a lot easier to parse than ScriptingNews2, it provides hierarchical structure. I wrote a parser for it on NewsIsFree, the results are a lot nicer than with the other formats... A pity it didn't make it to all ManilaFrontierRadio sites. Now comes along the IO, Instant Outline. It's OPML for instant messaging, with the benefit of context and history. And NewsIsFree's parser works for that too... NewsIsFree currently...http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/2002/04/02.html#a211 |
