I'm ba-ack...
Re-installed Radio on my new install of OS X and got myself pointed back to Userland's community server. Some random bits look broken but this may be stuff that was broken before.
From the perspective of more months, it's really that i just don't want to learn Radio. I mean i'm sure i'll get sucked into it somewhere along the line as i help people out with the evolving new era of communications, but my heart is in wiki and free software, and that's just not exactly where Radio is (though it's oddly close). So i'm not sure what i'll do with this site. I would like to try the instant outlining (now that i'm back in the U.S.), i guess i'll do that some time, and otherwise let things steep...
Otherwise, it's AbbeNormal for now.
Glad Dave is still with us, this Radio story definitely doesn't seem over yet...

Individual channels:

AbbeNormal

Kilo- means 1000
Mega- means a million
Giga- means a billion
Tera- means a trillion
Peta- means a quadrillion
Exa- means a quintillion

What are the implications of even Peta-hertz processors, or Exabyte hard drives? Will we last long enough to see it, and will it help us to stop destroying ourselves?

That only shows the weblog entries, in order first posted. This includes new entries and changes in the whole wiki, including weblog entries:

These use the AbbeNormal:JavaScriptRssViewer. There's also a built-in Radio verb xml.rss.view.RssBox (see Radio discussion or docs).

This uses radio.macros.viewFavoriteWeblogs to show recently-changed weblogs in my 'favorites' list:

Jonathon Delacour	6AM
MetaFilter	5AM
John Robb's Radio Weblog	5AM
SlashDot.Org	5AM
The Shifted Librarian	5AM
