Radio 8.0.4 is an app-only release that adds Simple Cross-Network Scripting, a feature that was designed four years ago, that pushes Radio to the leading-edge in simple client-side scripting of XML-RPC (today) and SOAP (later this month). It has an open driver-based architecture so support for new protocols can be added without kernel changes.  [Scripting News] Cool. Gotta update! comment ()  12:31:58 PM  #   Ok, this is very cool. Does for sound what the image tool does for images. comment ()  12:00:16 PM  #   Eventually I'd like Radio Composer to become Radio Poster. It would actually post for you. I need to figure out how to talk to radio remotely first. I'm hoping UserLand just has that documented. But maybe they don't. comment ()  8:37:59 AM  #   Now that I'm no longer playing with Captian Stuffit (a friend says I should have named it Captain Crunch) I have turned my full attention to Radio Composer. I've actually whipped up a demo that almost works. A compose window has two panes: a compose pane and a link substitution list. You drag or paste a URL into the links list and name it. Then you can refer to it by name in the compose window by surrounding the name with '#' characters like this: #name#. Once you have composed you can copy from the compose window and the text in the clipboard is automatically formatted so that links are turned into tags. The name of a link becomes the text between the tags (the text that people see in their browsers. I'm thinking I'll also support style characters so that *bold* will become bold and _italics_ will become italics. In the fullness of time, I'd like to support real styles, but that sounds like work. comment ()  8:36:18 AM  #
