Interesting. When I simulated the blog post in the debugger, all three files were touched and all three upstreamed. This suggests it's a timing or synchronization issue. Something is being touched, but the upstreamer is not tuning in.

Jake, Lawrence: Progress on the missing archive page on the laptop -- it's not being touched. It doesn't show up in the upstream scan. It appears to not be an upstreaming problem. Looking into it now.

Radio 7.1's CMS is new in a lot of ways. It's a CMS where the content lives in the file system. Yes, it all flows through the object database on its way onto the public Internet, but that's invisible to the user. (Not to developers, of course.) People who were around in the early CMS days, Frontier 4.2.3, will recognize the new CMS as the continuation of the BBSite suite, which gave BBEdit users a modest CMS in the file system. The difference is a few years. In those years our understanding of content management increased, and (don't overlook this) Moore's Law has been raging, and things that were formerly unthinkable are now fast.
One of the big benefits of doing it all in the file system is that users have total choice of tools. Everything from Notepad to Dreamweaver, you name it, as long as it can produce a text file, an HTML file or an OPML file, we can deal with it. It's been interesting to watch the debate over file extensions rage in Mac-land. We've drunk the Kool Aid. The extensions route the files through the rendering process. Lots of cross-platform cross-tools connections, achieved entirely through architecture, not brute force. It's a clean CMS that people who program in PHP and ASP will instantly grok.

I need something lite to do -- so I want to find out why Weblogs.Com pings are not showing up on the Events page. Maybe it's quite simple. There doesn't appear to be any code that does it. Still searching. I checked every call to radio.log.add in builtins.radio, and there's nothing there. OK, it's easy to fix the bug. I'll write the code.

Today I documented the driver architecture for upstreaming in Radio UserLand 7.1. Ken Dow got his driver working today too, so the doc had a developer review. I think this doc is done.

Back to work on the World Wide Web, circa 2001.
