Friday Night I've been doing a lot of posting in Radio Userland lately, and I think I'm probably going to move everything over into that system when it becomes possible to easily import them. Unfortunately it looks like it could take a while before that becomes possible unless I create a script to do it myself. I really like Movable Type, but I prefer the multiple category capability and news aggregator that comes as part of Radio Userland. The one area that Movable Type has a clear advantage is in terms of the discussion capabilities, but considering that's getting zero use currently I don't mind giving it up. 10:15:39 PM     I found some entertainment during my lunchbreak by going through the first 51 Radio Userland Weblogs. Note the number of MacOS X using Radio Users. Interesting Radio Userland Weblogs* between 0100000-100050 Dan Burns' Radio Weblog George Herndon's Radio Weblog (MacOS X) Drones And Clones (MacOS X) Peter Gallagher's Radio Weblog (MacOS X) Outlog.org (MacOS X) Jason Gilman's Radio Weblog (MacOS X) Mac Net Journal (MacOS X) DaveSki.com (MacOS X?)

Usually that came down to has the weblog updated regularly in the past week. 12:41:42 PM     Sprint-ing Toward Elusive 3G. Because of the scarcity of available spectrum, Sprint PCS is the only U.S. carrier prepared to offer next-generation (3G) wireless services. Then the next question is, does it matter? By Elisa Batista. [Wired News] I definitely need to do some further investigation of digital phone services and what we can expect in the future, capability and coverage-wise. I don't own a cell phone now (although my wife does), but I probably will want to get one at some point down the road. One useful piece of information that I picked up from the article is just who the major players are: Sprint PCS AT&T Wireless Cingular VoiceStream Verizon Wireless 8:35:53 AM     This morning Dave mentioned the O'Reilly Frontier book that Matt Neuberg wrote back in 1998 as being one of two sets of docs people should link to (the full text is available online now). The really cool/amusing thing is that I've owned this book since 1999, but never quite got into it as much as I had planned. Now that Radio is out I finally had a good reason to pull it off of my bookshelf and start reading again. The book only covers Frontier through 4.23 so you'll also want to check out Matt's set of The Doctor Is In! articles to fill in the rest of the blanks. 6:26:22 AM
