![]() As I wrote earlier, I this morning lost four days of my weblog postings when the Radio UserLand application crashed. I managed to save some postings via the NetNewsWire Lite application, which had a cached copy of the RSS feed of my weblog. I republished some of the lost postings, but most are lost forever.

![]() Early Monday morning I cleared out the Radio UserLand cloud using the wipeCloud script by Andy Fragen. Then I re-published my entire weblog. I run into some small problems, which I hope are now corrected. Now I have 71% disk space free, compared to 63% before doing the wipe. Doing the republishing took almost a hour, so for some time this weblog was not available for browsing. While republishing the entire weblog I made some modifications to the templates. I checked the validity of the CSS style definitions. It seems that nothing broke in the process.

![]() Creative Types: A Lot in Common: "The Internet is teeming with creative people who aren't famous or rich. A new set of licenses from Creative Commons will allow copyright holders to share their work according to conditions they specify -- and boost their profiles. By Kendra Mayfield." [Wired News]

![]() Great series of items: "There's been a really terrific series of articles, opinions, and items related to TIA this week on Declan McCullagh's politechbot.com site (and politech listserv). The volume of posts precludes my posting individual links to each of them, but visit the politechbot.com site and you'll see a number of related items clustered between Tuesday, December 10th through Saturday, December 14. Declan's work is consistently insightful and spot-on. IMHO, it's more valuable than ever right now." [Boing Boing Blog]

![]() The Radio UserLand application crashed, and after restart I noticed that four days of my weblog postings had disappeared. I had already made a posting before I noticed this, so my weblog entries from four last days were already overwritten. I wrote a plea for help on the Radio discussion group, but I don't have much hope of recovering the postings. This is the first time I have lost postings with Radio, so this came as a shock.
