GameBoy Web Server

This is really cool. But I don't understand how you physically connect the GameBoy to your PC to download the code. And where does the code live. My kids have GBAs and I'd love to put a web server on them :)

Radio Poster user's guide

I have a rough draft of the Radio Poster user's guide online here. If you mess around enough you might even be able to figure out where Radio Poster is and download it. But I plan to announce it officially in the next day or so anyway.

movable type

I know they are the competition, but I wanted to see what it was like setting up a Movable Type weblog. It turns out to be a little tricky to set up, but once it is setup it's really cool. I have my web server configured to execute cgi scripts only in the cgi-bin folder. That's a security thing, I believe. That means MT gets mad if its scripts aren't there. So that gave me a bit of trouble but I figured it out. Also, you need to make sure folder permissions are set up correctly. I had them set to something whacky, like me, and MT couldn't write to them. I needed to change them to 'httpd' ownership. So all-in-all, not as easy to setup as Radio, but once it is setup, everything works really well. And it is very configureable. It even supports comments right out of the box. Very nice.

I'm not planning to do this, of course, but I believe I could extract all of my Radio posts with a hacked version of Radio Poster. I'd use getPost to get all the posts starting at 1. Then I could use the Blogger API to pour all of those posts into MT. Should work.

Radio shortcuts

It looks like Dave is working on shortcuts for Radio. Frontier has always had glossary feature whereby text between double-quotes would be replaced by text in the glossary at render time. I have the same feature in Radio Poster. It's really quite useful. My glossary isn't quite as cool, though. Mine is only a link glossary. Every item in the glossary is assumed to be a link and is formatted accordingly. That just seems to be the most useful. One improvement might be to make the local glossary a link glossary and the global glossary a general glossary.

opml client

It should be easy to whip up a client in REALbasic that will get somebody's public OPML file (their Instant Outline, in other words) and show it in a window. The trick will be to make it possible to edit your own and serve it. I'm not quite sure the best way to do that remotely but I would like to make it happen.

I have arrived

My plan has worked. I have been added to the blogroll at Wealth Bondage. And I got a long post as well. What a glorious day. Dr. Chadwallah theorizes that my troubles have only begun. First a dead cat. Then a dead fish. Now my own illness. I must be far more careful from now on.

Let's tally things up here. The IDF has been in the West Bank for nearly a week. The last successful suicide bomber blew himself up and killed an Israeli policeman on Tuesday. [Yourish.com]

I was afraid to point this out. Afraid because I figured if I did point it out then there'd be another suicide bombing. But the fact is that although I keep opening the paper every day expecting to see another bombing, things have been quiet. Seems like Isreal's current approach, though unpopular with the rest of the world (can you say anti-semitism) is working. What is Isreal supposed to do. Let their citizens get blown up? If they do what Bush says and stop now then the next day I guarantee there would be another suicide bombing.

Go read the rest of Meryl's posts. She's got a lot of good stuff.

hypocrisy

It's crystal clear that Jewish blood is worthless in the eyes of the world. There were no UN resolutions, Papal condemnations, etc. when the suicide bombers were blowing themselves and innocent civilians to kingdom come.
