Chris Ashley: Weblogging, another kind of website.  [Scripting News] I've said it before and I will keep saying it: Blogging and K-logging changes any organization that uses it internally or externally for the better by improving informration sharing and communication. This article is yet another case in point, but we ned more pieces like this to win over the skeptics.

Mac OS X Hints: Installing a CVS pserver. “Hey! You just crave to install a CVS server on a MacOS X computer so several people can work on the same project or to have a single repository for your sources on your network? Don’t worry, this is very simple, as long as you have installed the Developer Tools.” [mac.scripting.com] CVS is something that I plan on using for my next website to control the code.

The Sharp SL-5000D runs Linux and Java but not my friend Simon's implementation since it doesn't use EPOC. I still haven't seen anything better than my Newton 2000, but something with a colour screen with tons of apps like the Palm and Java running on it would be nice!

Rebecca Blood's classic: weblogs: a history and perspective - I blogged this at my old company's Intranet blog but this type of history must not be forgotten so I am blogging it on my new blog!

I fixed my problems with Radio Userland!
- In the prefs page, the "WWW" folder has to point to the directory where the index.html and rss pages have to go. This path uses PC path conventions i.e. backslashes ('') if you are on a PC and colons (':') if you are on a Mac and NOT the Unix/Web forward slash ('/') !! And it MUST end in either a "" or ":" or it won't work.
- In the weblog page, under "Basic info about your weblog", I set the fields "Home page path:" and "RSS file path" to point to slash followed by filename ("/index.html" and "/rss.xml") where they will be served from on the web using the Unix/Web convention of '/'! Backslashes ('') and colons (':') won't work!
e.g. if you want to serve from "C:\webpages\" on a PC, in Prefs set
"Web server folder:" to "C:\webpages\" and in Weblog set "Home page path:" to "/index.html" and "RSS file path" to "/rss.html". Radio Userland seems to hardcode the path of the Category RSS files to a subdirectory called RSS e.g. in this case the Category RSS files would be put in "C:\webpages\rss\" and the rss file would be in "C:\webpages\rss.xml".
I figured this out by following the example of these values from Craig Burton's tutorial. Thanks Craig and thanks Userland! Radio rocks once you get it configured correctly and maybe my problems were due to working on this at 3a.m. instead of a sane hour!
A note to Userland for improving the docs in the future: Please give a complete example in the help files with all the fields filled in to avoid these kinds of problems.

By manually calling myUserLandSuite.blog.publishRss () as documented in RSS.XML not generating?, I can get my category RSS to generate but is not being generated automatically as it should. So the bug appears to happen before this script is called.

I seem to have fixed the Radio Userland problem "Can't find a sub-table named "files" by following the advice on this page. I found this by searching the radio-userland mailing list at groups.yahoo.com/groups/radio-userland. HINT: If you are having problems with Radio Userland, chances are others have seen them. Search for the problem on the Yahoo Groups Radio-Userland list before filing a bug report.
