Web Searches Take Cultural Pulse. Google, Lycos and other search sites have unleashed lists of the year's top search terms, which many say are an accurate barometer of cultural fads, fears and obsessions. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News]

Someone had an interesting idea indeed. Coool.

w000hh0000!

WebDesktop 1.0. [~stevenf]

Screenshot here. The idea was to be like Window's ActiveDesktop, on a Mac.

I'm not sure if this is disturbing, really really cool, or an uber-l33t hack. Pick two, I guess.

And, if you could point that to your News Aggregator... a really nice feature for those Radio junkies. (Our News Aggregation page is hosted on a web-server that runs on your desktop machine)

Ok, this is going to be confusing, especially if you're reading today's entries' top to bottom. But anyway...

I finished my Radio Find Content Script. Took me a few hours to write, relearning Usertalk, etc. It's a bit slow, but I could live with it.

Then, with 10 seconds of searching on the Radio Userland Search Page I found Kit.

Along with a half a dozen other nice features it has a Search feature that blows mine out of the water. Fast, nice, don't have to switch to the Radio application itself to do anything.

Youch.

Kit's built-in News Aggregator doesn't work well for the way I manage news (and the dial-up connection doesn't help the situation either), but some of the other features look promising.

Anyway, my Radio Find Content Script script, and my Gloss Script are linked from the About Me page.

Don't know why anybody would want to use my Find Content Script, but hey, it's there anyway. It did have some nice features -- speed just wasn't one of them. On the other hand, the Gloss script is kind of cool. I talk about it in more detail here

Also from the same person who wrote Kit, POT.PY. POT executes Python code when it is uploading your webpage to an FTP server. Woh, kinda cool. Also has some specialized tags ("include", for example)

Going to work a little on the site, maybe my content-finder script I promised to write.

Or maybe just modifying the page a little (a blogroll perhaps?)

I propose a new term: Blog Surfing.

Going from one blog to another, finding something interesting to read, new people to subscribe to, new ideas, threads, mems. All that wonderful stuff.

Gonna do some of that tonight... and maybe write some scripts.. oh yeah

Amen!
