David Davies talks about some interesting ideas for gathering search engine results via RSS. He also has a demonstration of an application of this idea. Andy Fragen has a followup on yesterday's renderObject post, with a script and instructions. Radio Bug Fix: The Edit This Page button in Radio UserLand now allows you to edit pages in the browser. Robert Barksdale highlights a list of programming resources for Radio UserLand. 6:04:34 AM

A mind bomb for next week. Kevin Altis has wired up PythonCard to the Blogger API and will release the code to show people how to do easy GUIs for Web Services. Lawrence Lee, who works at UserLand, installed Kevin's code and got it working. Here's a screen shot. I'm going to install the software myself next week and write a How To that shows you how to install all the necessary software and get Kevin's app to run on your machine. I'm hoping to see people use the XML-RPC and SOAP interfaces in Radio to connect to user interfaces running in PythonCard.   [Scripting News] I am looking forward to running this under OS X. 6:00:17 AM

For those who came in late, I'm planning development of a Radio tool to manage hacks, changes made to UserLand's code under system.verbs.builtins that can get trashed by any subsequent Radio.root update. I've written up preliminary documentation for the tool, and mentioned it in the forum, but haven't got any feedback yet. If I were one of the Radio ould pharts, I'd be waiting for me to cough up the code, too, so it's time to proceed. :) I'll be blogging my progress here, and using the My Pictures Tool to upload screen shots.
