Radio UserLand Slacker Bug Strikes Again
Twelve-Step Intro: "Hi! I'm Bruce, and I'm a weblog slacker." I post when I feel like it, and I haven't felt like it for a long time. In addition, a new personal project is sucking up every spare minute of my time. Thus, I was pleased to note I'm not the only one who takes a one-month hiatus from time to time. Someone else in the Radio UserLand discussion group was bitten by "the slacker bug", and now I don't feel so alone. [grin] Maybe I should start a slacker club.

Today's an important day in the history of Scripting News, and as it turns out, the history of the web. On this day in 1999, Netscape went public with its RSS reader, the first-ever. It was called My.Netscape.Com, and it was something like a page layout program in a browser. You arranged boxes containing news from a publication or a weblog. They got their service to work with Scripting News (I knew because they were sending me questions about my XMLization). Anyway, the news of their rollout is in the archive for the day, six years ago, and in a DaveNet piece that explained the news to the industry. [Scripting News]
