Really disappointed in Radio, Userland, and Winer.
This time I lost 2 days of blogging data to some Radio bug, this time permanently, as far as I can tell. This is the third time this has happened - you'd think that I would learn to back up Radio hourly. I am disappointed with Radio and with Userland. While Lawrence Lee was very helpful in getting me up and running again last time, nobody at Userland seemed to have any interest in figuring out what the source of the problem was, so it keeps recurring.
I also caught the flamewar going on between Dave Winer and others at queso. I generally ignore flamewars, but since Winer linked to it I thought I would check it out. I tend to cut anybody who is quitting smoking a lot of slack -- I remember walking around wanting to kill somebody for several months after I quit. But the picture painted in his posts of a self-aggrandizing, conceited, megalomaniac bully obessed with his primacy really disgusted me. I saw this before when he attacked Dan Gilmore when was out of Net reach, but I hoped it was an abberation. And Winer's defense of why he can revise his accusations against others was pathetic. I wonder if he knows what he is doing to himself. I have never met the man, and know almost nothing about him except what I have gathered from what he writes. And based on what he writes, I think that he is disgusting. Reminds me of Andrew Sullivan.
I'll probably move this blog over to Movable Type on my personal site once I figure out how to migrate the entries. The only silver lining to the whole lousy blogging week was that through Winer I got pointed towards the Winerlog, which is hilarious if you read Scripting News. Recommended, although the whole thing is sad.
