This is wierd, I just discovered this guy Al Macintyre who started using Radio about a week before I did (from what I can tell) (Al if this is incorrect please do not let my ignorance offend you). It seems like he is reading my mind. This post rambled so I turned it into a story. Click here to read on. 8:35:46 PM    comment []

Further Reading Jotting this down so I don't lose it: http://www.xmlrpc.com/howTheWebBugSimulatorWorks This topic is so rich I will have to reread a few times to really absorb. What I don't get: the 1-pixel gif. Where in the XML feed is the gif inserted? Why does this gif help track referers and hits? [update 8/14/2002 review this]: Why is it called a Web Bug Simulator?  In Web pages, a common practice is to add a small image that makes it possible to track hits, referers and rankings. There is no equivalent feature for XML-based content. So this new feature for Radio 8 simulates a Web Bug, which is where it gets its silly name. are the scan results described here referring to the subscriber's scan? is this the source of those "Please Notify" items in my Events report? [update 8/14/2002]: "Please Notify" question from Radio msg boards. What I do get:   7:23:36 PM    comment []

This week's Radio accomplishments: the google box on the lower left, the hotlist updates on the lower right, static links to two categories in home page template. To do: how do I determine where the main page template is used vs. the home page template? Research the concept of "upstreaming" and "working offline" can I test changes to my home page while working offline? can I verify my images are visible from the internet while working offline? does one need to turn off upstreaming, then working offline, vice versa? what is the difference between upstreaming and working offline? ooh-ooh he knows what exactly is upstreaming? aha this has something what exactly is working offline? he know this one too factor out navigator links into a blogroll I might need this and this dependency: research blogrolling etiquette dependency: make sure you know what a blogroll is a clue 4:47:47 PM    comment []

Wishlist item: glossary of Userland slang, jargon, terms not found in a dictionary. Could be expanded to a general glossary viewable alphabetically or by category (Userland jargon, PDA jargon. etc.) XML format could include -term (word being described) -definition -category (userland, pda) -alternate spellings [optional] -origin (who coined the term) [optional] etc. update: add this term (and its definition, if found) grok usage: "I wrote a technical background piece for people who grok XML" update 2: Blue Sky Radio, or A Klog Apart, or Phill Wolff (these three are the same people FWIK) saw this post and provided a very thorough answer. Thanks, Phill (is that is your name). 4:07:31 PM    comment []
