Resurrected my Radio install, I broke something accidentally while doing a search-and-replace. Oops. I think an explicit 'accept' command (Smalltalk-like) would be helpful, or a prompt when you close a script window asking you if you want to save changes, not just if you want to compile the script.

I posted the bug I ran into today on the Radio DG. (Yes, as usual, it could be better written, I did my best given the time constraints).

I'll keep working on the WebDAV upstream driver later this week, but I don't want to release with that bug still present. 9:16:42 PM | reply []

Advenio MacXword: Yay, no more Across Lite in Classic for my crossword puzzle solving (not that I've had much more time for it). Looks and works very well, although it needs some more keyboard support. 12:33:34 PM | reply []

A picture named finder-view.gif A quick tip for resource-editor-savvy Mac OS X users (perhaps you can do this with QuicKeys too?) who work the way I do. Edit the Finder's View menu so you can switch views from the keyboard. That way, you can work normally in icon view, but if you encounter a hierarchy of unorganized files that you want to go through quickly (MP3s, DocServer pages, the contents of an application package, etc.) you can quickly switch to column view to find what you want. I find it works really well. 9:35:36 AM | reply []

Found a mini-bug in html.writeFile, probably my fault actually, but it assumes 'folder' is a string. Change:

path = string.mid (f, sizeOf (folder), infinity)

to:

path = string.mid (f, sizeOf (string (folder)), infinity)

and all should be happy, as I wait for the DocServer site to render locally. 9:33:31 AM | reply []

Sorten Muld is very much the right music for this wet, rainy, gray weather. Thanks, Fredrik, for introducing me to it. (We miss you...) 8:37:27 AM | reply []
