NewsViews Tool for Radio Userland, v.0.1: "NewsViews Tool for Radio Userland, v.0.1 Peace of Mind for News Junkies " For as much as i might like future capabilities now; I would under no circumstances, never, not ever again, want to not have a lesser news 'processor'. newsviews has you assign defaults from - your categories - for posts to sort themselves into. link it from your #desktopWebsiteTemplate.txt and click through groups of feeds. cool categorized news-presentation. neat.

Don't forget that a NAT is not a FireWall. it does not really add effort to get the right ip and know that you're getting your port tunneled. so no firewall limit there, yes? just curious why dont i get channel subscription notices through my NAT/tunnel(s)? could be the same issue as the above q, no?

"Read this article on Web Services interop. It's an eye-opener because they include sample code for a web service in .NET. Look at all the overhead. Did they really design an environment for web services? If so what are all those magic incantations about? I've seen Simon and Sam (and Christian) comment on this, their eyes can't see the overhead. But Sjoerd who's a scripting guy, sees it. Sometimes it pays to unlearn the things you take for granted. Make every bit of complexity justify itself, and if it can't, off to the bit bucket. Try Don's Amazing Puzzle for a demo of how hard it can be to see things you take for granted. My untrained eye sees six lines of overhead in the .NET hello world script. [Scripting News]" hmmm. it's anders, its oop. its not scripting.
