Textile ist ein Versuch für das Schreiben von HTML-Seiten einfache Kennzeichen im ASCII-Text zur verwenden. Etwas ähnliches wurde auch schon von Scott Lawton mit der »No-Tags Markup«-Konvention versucht (Shorthand Plug-In für Manila), dem HTML Markup von Scott J. Kleper oder aber mit dem »Structured Text«-Dokumentformat (Link?) in ZOPE. [WebDEV] [Der Schockwellenreiter]

This article explains how to get and set rectangular selections via AppleScript, as well as the unsupported ability to create arbitrary non-contiguous text selections. Ausdrucken!

AlterNet: Top Ten Conspiracy Theories of 2002. For about thirty minutes after his chief of staff told him that America was under attack, George W. Bush continued to sit in an elementary school classroom listening to a second-grader tell a story about a pet goat. He did a marvelous job of looking completely unsurprised.

Stapler 2.2.4 is available. Its new items counter is fixed. Also, thanks to Andy Fragen's installCodeFreshener tool, it includes Dave Winer's codeFreshener scripts: you should no longer have to download the new version to upgrade Stapler (that is, from 2.2.4 to the next version), but rather merely select "Refresh code from the web" from the Tools->Stapler menu in the Radio application.

Radio UserLand: UserTalk, Radios Programmiersprache, besitzt nämlich schon die nützliche Funktion file.filesInFolder(folderPathname, depth), die die Zählung für mich übernimmt. Also rasch in die Indexseite eingebaut: Die Sammlung enthält [Macro error: Can't complete the operation because Windows reported an error: "Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch".] Briefe.

Und prompt steht dort:
»Die Sammlung enthält 309 Briefe.«

Der lange Pfadname führt zu dem Ordner, in dem die Mails der Nigeria-Connection lokal auf meinem Rechner liegen, die Tiefe ist "1", da die Unterordner nur Bilder und ähnliches, aber keine Mails mehr enthalten und die "6" muß ich abziehen, weil sechs Dateien und Ordner Inhaltsverzeichnis, Startseite, Hilfsdateien etc. sind. So einfach ist das in Radio!
