Radio Out Of Space
Yikes, I guess I just ran out of space (40 whole
Megabytes) on the Radio Userland server. Must be time to
move onto a modern blogging/content management
system. For now, I took the 8 Mb of images
and moved them over to got.net, but a lot of
links will eventually need to be updated, so
older images will be broken for a while.
Meanwhile, I tried to fix an extremely minor problem
with my Radio U. desktop display -- it refuses to show
the goofy little orange question marks. They are
teeny GIF images, that live under the Radio U. folder,
in www/system/images/qbullet/help.gif . The file
itself exists on my disk, in the right place, and it
seems to be valid (looks fine in Preview) and have
the right permissions, but the Radio desktop simply
won't display it.
I had a symlink
in /Applications , that pointed to the "Radio Userland"
directory, and was named "Radio%20UserLand". Radio
wouldn't accept that. Then I tried to move it out of
the way and make it an (old-style Mac filesystem) Alias.
Haven't had to *be* root on any Mac OS X system in a hell
of a long time. (I'm sure there's some command-line
"make alias" command, but I hadn't the patience.)
Anyway, because I was denied write access in /Applications,
I had to sudo to move the old "Radio%20UserLand" symlink
out of the way, and then do some funkiness to make an
alias. (For the record, it's Command-Option-drag to the
desktop, then rename the alias to the name I wanted
("Radio%20UserLand"), and finally sudo mv to move it
back into /Applications . And after all that? It still
didn't work. Boo. Maybe if I really rename the directory
to have the percent stuff in it.
Nope, then Radio won't start up at all.
Oh well, guess I'll live with it a while longer.
