Radio UserLand Notes

Bryan laments the passing of the cactus

RIP Scripting News Cactus.

Rest in piece clever cactus... you will be missed.

I am also trying to do some housecleaning on "shortcuts", the handy auto-linking feature of Radio. Just like the word Radio in the last sentence, you can create shortcuts in Radio that when you type the word with quotation marks, it replaces the text with a shortcut. This is a well know feature to everyone who's used Radio but me, hence it's not on my Radio wishlist of features. Final shortcut: "Radio home server"

I'd bet it's in Rogers' book... [Amazon link]

I took a moment to subscribe to a couple of outlines via Radio. I think I'm beginning to get it. Subscribing to an outline is like subscribing to a static RSS feed: I get content, but it's ordered and easily updated. This would be great for end-user documentation, much better than HTML-based, web-connected help systems.

I'm starting a company, so I started a weblog to go with it. I'm using Radio running under Windows to do some of the dirty work and I've been impressed with how fast it is. The Windows version of the app is easily 50% faster than the Mac version running on equivalent hardware.
