fixed the bug
I fixed the bug in Radio Poster and I've actually got the fixed version up on the server. I'm about to send an announcement to the REALbasic list.

I am an idiot
I made the classic RB mistake of not hiding a window properly. The global glossary is a window that hides instead of closes. I correctly took care of the cmd-W case (close menu item). But I did not correctly handle clicking in the close box (or bubble, in Mac OS X :) ). And that is a bit tricky. What you want to do is call Hide in a window's cancelClose event and you also need to return True, which means to cancel the close. But if you leave it at that, then the app won't be able to close because the hiding window will always cancel the close. So you need to have a way to distinguish between closing the window and quitting the app. A quitting boolean in the app's class does the trick. You set it in the FileQuit menu handler. And in CancelClose you only return True (to cancel the close) if you are not quitting. But there was one thing that worried me about that approach. What happens when you get a close AppleEvent. Then quitting won't get set to True and the app won't quit. But that doesn't seem to be a problem for some reason. At least not on Mac OS X. I tried quitting Radio Poster from an AppleScript and it worked fine. But I'm going to have to test it on OS 9 just to be sure it works ok there. Either way, I'm going to have to release a new version tomorrow.

Radio Poster bug
Now that I've got this weblog linked to the Radio Poster website, perhaps people will check it out. So I can use it to say I'm chasing an RP bug. Sorry about that. It seems that, under certain conditions, the global glossary gets wiped out. I can't quite pin it down yet, but I have some theories. I'll keep you posted (that's a pun, by the way).

good idea?
I just put a link to my weblog on the Radio Poster website. Was that a good idea? I use Radio Poster myself to update my own weblog, so I thought it might be a good idea to link Radio Poster and my weblog together. I originally thought I wouldn't do that, but now I think, perhaps, it is a good idea. It also gives me a way to communicate with people who are using Radio Poster.

A Quick and Dirty Blog using Zope
I had thought about writing some kind of blog server in Zope myself. Of course, it would take work and there are already cool tools out there to make weblogs, so I kinda never followed through.
