Jeff's Radio Weblog

 Phil Windley: I've been thinking since I got home from a ten day vacation and had to process 2100 email messages about how much of my life is lived in my inbox. Of the 2100, almost 1700 of them were Spam and I'm not too concerned about those. SpamAssassin did a pretty good job and I have a feeling it or other technologies will eventually solve the Spam problem. What interests me are the 400 messages that were not Spam. At least 75% of those were messages that didn't really require my attention or could safely be ignored. Even of the remaining 100, many of them were more about coordination than real information. This has got me asking "what would it take to eliminate email from my life completely?"

 Scott Young: The first new version of Radio in a while will be released the third week of September. This version has some great things in it - all based on requests from users. Steve Kirks lists what that made it into the 8.1 release and what didn't make it in this post. Radio was so far ahead of its time when it was originally released and its still the best complete personal blogging package for those of us that like the integrated RSS aggregator among many other things. Hats off to Steve Kirks and Patrick Richie for making this happen.

 Steve Kirks: I'm sure you noticed the title of this post and that means that Radio has a new version number. Radio is moving to version 8.1 with this release, indicative of the volume of changes made since the last official release. It's also a clear signal that Radio development at UserLand is moving forward. Here's the list of what made it to beta testing...

 Don Park: Aside from the joy of pretend surprise, why would anyone want to buy an oversized batteryless laptop with detached keyboard? Wait a minute. It just might work. I can ducktape it to a small powerboat battery and use it as a laptop. Wow, a laptop with 24 hour battery life and replaceable keyboard. I am starting to like the idea...

 Marc Canter: Just when it looked like Friendster was coming around - this happens. Jon Udell has a great thanks post to Joyce Park (a.k.a. Troutgirl.) Me too - I thank her - too.

 Adam Curry: As expected I didn't get to post anything yesterday. Of course it all started with my final morning show for Radio Veronica, wher ethe management decided it was time to give me something to remember them by. That 'something' was Jewel Paris, pictures here (nsfw). Today I finalize the Amsterdam Heliport deal, so I have to travel most of the day, but promise I'll do a mobile source code on the way back.

 Mike McBride: Hmm given a conversation I had yesterday with the guy who does our website design about RSS, this might be a good introduction to point the communications people to, no? I might just have to take a few minutes to read this one and see if it will help (via Archipelago, who orginally saw it on Field Thoughts). By the way, yes, our communications people are starting to maybe, sort of, look at using RSS on our website. Yes, that's pretty cool. No I'm not real happy that although I've been telling them about it for over a year, it wasn't until an outside vendor, our web hosting company, brought it up to them that they saw it as a good idea. I'll get over it. :)

 Hossein Derakhshan: Hardline conservatives -- with the cover of Judiciary, but actually related to unofficial security organization which is run by the Leader, Ayatollah Khamanei -- have started a terrible cat and mouse game with two reformist news websites: Emrooz and Rouydad. First, about two weeks ago, they stormed the building where they thought the websites were being maintained and apparently arrested anyone who was there. Then they found people who had bought their domain names or had been hosting their WebPages on their servers and arrested them as well. But none of the news sites have stopped operating; they are now...
