Nellie Monk Passed Away A Few Days Ago

She enabled all of us to experience the mastery of Thelonious Monk. Thank you Nellie.

Best Wishes to T.S.Monk, son. Hope you have good vibes about her passing on. I don't know the circumstances yet, but I'll learn more soon. I do know that I appreciated your mom because I really felt, after I had heard and read much about Monk, that she made Monk possible for me. And lots and lots and lots of others.

Here are some links that we will be working from:

  • Thinkmedia Seeks Comments, The New Jazz Thing Provides

    Trying to figure out how to get comments working in Radio... it appears that Adam Curry has this working and this is a feature I'd really like. If you know how to enable this, please let me know. [Thinkmedia]

    Here's the initial story on the Comments feature, with configuration URLs and the like. The default is to use the Radio comments server (which it seems like the preferences have in by default) and that has worked fine for me...even if I didn't want it to. Explanation: When the feature first came out, I had it set up to log comments to my Manila site, which was my original blog. That worked fine. Then at some point I reinstalled Radio and forgot to reset the preference for Comments , so my comments continued to work but were on the default server. Anyway, I've just reset it back to my Manila site, so any comments should start showing up on the Discuss page (or topic view).

    It should be easy to set up either way and userland provides that default comment server.
