"Notes on Radio Customization This is the page where I try to note all of the changes I've made to Radio Userland in customizing it for my purposes. " [via "scripting"] Good collection of links realting to customizing Radio. PS - I do this myself (or as best i can) on my weblog channel radio useful misc.   11:39:14 PM

Myelin: "This is a web server, written completely in Python, that implements the xmlStorageSystem protocol used by Radio UserLand, a popular weblog tool. This could definitely have some potential.  Even appears to contain parts of RCS's functionality.  Something else I've never considered, but I sure is possible with some amount of programming, is the ability for non-Radio blog tools to utilize the xmlStorage system.  XML-RPC ???  Food for thought. 9:06:21 PM

>>> Loose ends ...However, the cool thing about Google making it's search results available to web applications available to web applications is the trend that it starts. How long before we have a MSN, AOL or Jabber API that will allow other people to not only link to your website, but list your current online status on their page? For example, I'm going to be in Boston next weekend, how cool would it be if I could push out that message using an IM client, which pushes out to my website the message "Mike's in Boston", which is then picked up through an API to every site that links to my website, so the link would look something like "Mike's Blog (Mike's in Boston)" where the Mike's Blog link takes you to my blog, and the "Mike's in Boston" part takes you to an IM API page where you can see more details about my status, send me an instant message, or I can leave other details about how to reach me, or not reach me while I'm in Boston. Call it the ultimate in "presence", people can know your online status without ever having to come to your site, or look you up on the IM client. I can also leave in my information a message that says "Won't be updating the blog until I return." so everyone who spots a link to my site will know that until the "Mike's in Boston" status changes, there's nothing new on the site. It saves them clicks. And just think of the corporate application of such an API! You could publish everyone's status to an intranet page and the status could be updated as often as it needed to be by using any available internet connection and an IM client. <<< [Life of a One Man IT Department] Instant Outlining is a something of a start on this concept.  It exists in addition to your main blog feed, though I'm certain there is (and most likely will be) a way to incorporate it into your main channel.  Radio only for the moment though I'm certain that will change as well.   7:55:35 AM
