Pocket Blog

By the way, Pocket Blog is a very cool looking piece of software. Let's you blog from you PocketPC device.

Independent Confirmation

There has been independent confirmation of the MetaWeblog API (or, in this case the Blogger API) bug. The author of Pocket Blog has verified that posts with the Blogger API are making it to the Radio homepage but not the archives. So I think this is officially a Radio bug and I the ball is now very much in UserLand's court to fix it. The cool thing is that Radio updates itself automatically. So if they publish the fixed parts then all the Radio's out there will automatically fix themselves.
By the way, my trip through the Radio code makes me think that this should be a very easy bug to fix. Probably a one-liner.

Radio Bug

Unless UserLand can tell me otherwise, I think I'm forced to believe that there is a bug in Radio with the MetaWeblog (and I think Blogger) API. Basically, if you post items using the MetaWeblog API then your main weblog page will update to reflect the new post. But your archive pages will not be published. The only way to publish your archive pages is to make a post via the desktop web page. This is a problem if you post exclusively with Radio Poster. You'll end up with a bunch of archive pages that are unreachable. Darn. I've left a message about this on the discussion forum. I hope somebody sheds some light on the problem.

Radio Poster 1.5d1

I posted this with a development version of Radio Poster 1.5. The only difference so far between 1.5 and 1.0.1 is that I now pass true to blogger.newPost. Let's see if that gets my cloud pages to be generated correctly.

I get it

I think I just figured out why my pages aren't being generated on the cloud server. I'm not sure if it is a bug in Radio, but it's kinda Radio Poster's fault. Radio Poster does either a blogger.newPost call or a blogger.editPost call to post a message. At least for newPost, there is a publish argument and I didn't really understand what that was for. I've got it set to false right now. I bet that's telling Radio not to generate my archive pages on the cloud server in some indirect way. I'm going to have to try passing true and see if it makes a difference.

This is a test.

longest domain name

I was just wondering what the longest domain name is. I don't know if this is it, but it is pretty long: thelongestdomainnameintheworldandthensomeandthensomemoreandmore.

dead tired

I'm dead tired and the coffee isn't ready yet. As you can probably guess, I'm back to drinking coffee. I stopped some time ago. But I can never stay stopped for very long. I always go back. The best I can do is try to limit how much I drink during the day. I bet I drink a lot today :)

off to work

It's still very early, but I think I'm just going to hop in the shower and go to work.

up too early

I couldn't sleep and now I am up way too early playing with Doug Holton's WasteField 2.0.7 for REALbasic. I use it in Stella but there have been problems. But this is a new version and it does work very well. It doesn't have the problem with slowdowns you get with REALbasic's EditFields. And Didier just gave me some cool code that does syntax hiliting. I might even use WF in Radio Poster. The only problem is that there's something funky going on with the background color. If I set the host window's background color to white, then everything works fine. But Radio Poster's window can't really work that way as it is really one big tab. I need for the window's color to remain the default (or "no") color.
