The Radio Desktop Application The time seems right to start learning a bit more about the desktop application that comes with Userland's Radio weblog tools. It seems far more is buried there than I've even begun to realize. Using Radio as a comprehensive content management system must depend to some degree on learning more about the desktop app. First step, learn how to learn without fouling up the works! Marc Barrot's outline weblog keeps getting cooler.  [Scripting News] 6:35:14 PM     Comments[]

Memorial Day, 2002 It's not yet 8:00a.m. here and it's still very quiet. The family is still asleep. A relaxing day is ahead. With the recollection of what Dad's service record was and the knowledge that we have (or may have) our troops involved in many places around the globe, Memorial Day seems more real and important this year. Maybe I'm getting old and sentimental. Maybe I'm staring at the empty nest syndrome which approaches. Whatever the mood, emotion or motivation for the thoughts, it seems we live in an age when each peaceful day at home should be cherished more dearly. There are so many examples of how quickly that peace can be shattered. Whether natural or at the hands of man, the suddenness with which change comes throws people harshly against their foundations in faith, family and service to others. Rediscovering those foundation elements before we are slammed against them is what days like today are for. They'll be greater comfort for us when we face the unexpected if we embrace them when things are fine! 8:05:36 AM     Comments[]
