After much research, there are still some very puzzling things about Radio Userland. Most of the directions I follow on Dave Winer's page aren't working for me - I wonder if I have a corrupt copy of the program?
But I'm spending all my time tweaking the site rather than writing. How do people manage to do both?
Tomorrow's the birthday, and I can't say that I'm looking forward to it. I'm just not sure enough about where I am right now (mostly professionally) to be real thrilled about celebrating a milestone (more like a millstone). This "going it alone" has some bigs pros and cons, and between projects, the cons shout loudest. I find my self thinking about working for a company again, with all its concommittent baggage, just to have the steady focus and community. But just thinking so far...
On more productive ground, I've pretty much decided to go back and write one of the better items in the idea file - either "Emergence" or "the telepathy idea" - as a book rather than a screenplay. The screenplay format all of a sudden seems so constrictive. That's the tradeoff: 100 finely crafted pages, where every word counts or 300 rambling pages. Some of the ideas are just too hard to get across in dialogue and pictures, or so it seems right now. But that's where I should be spending my time - creating content rather than format.
