A welcome present from Unbound Spiral.

RSS Feed Full Posts.

A couple of reminders recently to provide readers with what they really want.  RSS Feeds that contain the full post.  It's now done - isn't choice wonderful?  You can choose.  If you desire a full post rather than the excerpt, please change your subscription to:

Full Posts (XML) http://www.henshall.com/blog/index2.rdf 

Why is it that MT's default setting is excerpts?

Makes me think about my own newreader.  I wish I could toggle between full and excerpts.  Even better scan quickly on excepts and then toggle to full posts.  Early on I tried AmphetaDesk and currently just use the Radio one.  Except I get posts that blow its formating from time to time.  Is there a newreader that can improve my experience?  Is there one I can install on my server? That is also easy to do?How does a group go collective newsreading?  A my, yours, ours subscription file? Are there tools mapping subscriptions in this format?

Of course, I updated my subscription list right away. I've been tracking Stuart's excellent observations on the world of knowledge work for a while now. With full feeds it will be that much easier.

Stuart does raise some important points about some needed evolution in RSS feed readers. One tool that I have added to the mix that helps in my Radio environment is Mikel Maron's MyRadio tool. It lets me do some of the things Stuart asks for. [McGee's Musings

Good docs for UserTalk programmers. One of the things I recommend in Radio UserLand Kick Start is for aspiring UserTalk programmers to frequent DocServer, the online documentation for UserTalk verbs.

Although there are some omissions -- for instance, none of the radio verbs have been documented -- most of it appears to be correct as of Radio 8. [Workbench]

Radio UserLand loop has my head spinning. I've run into some unexpected behavior in UserTalk while documenting loop loops for Radio UserLand Kick Start.

The following code ends up with a final displayed value of 3.4 in the About Radio UserLand dialog box:

If anyone can explain why the final output isn't 3.5, as I expected, I've begun a discussion on the radio-dev mailing list. [Workbench]
