Please, Userland, Please!!!

The new template threw me, I thought this was an updated Manila to Radio Userland conversion tool, but it appears to be Jake’s old tool for Radio 7. Editthispage.com has been down all weekend. Again. I’d love to move my site off of it, but there are probably 1500 posts on it, mostly news items. I don’t have the UserTalk chops to do this. I’d prefer not to delete my exising Radio Userland site (which is what this tool did) in order to make the move. But if I had no choice I would. Could we please get a working…

Manila to Radio Userland soon to be a go!

I’d given up hope of getting Userland to do a tool that would convert my EditThisPage.com hosted sit to Radio, and was about to look into coding my own. I decided to do one last Google search, and found it! Don’t know how the heck I missed the announcement. Now if I could only get my site’s root. ETP.com has been unresponsive for the past 24 hours or so. I’ll miss the Manila site, I think I got one of the first accounts on ETP when Dave first made it avaiable, but it has gotten slow and is frequently unreachable.…

I caved in an renewed my copy Radio Userland.

After thinking about it some more, I realized it was $3.33 a month for what is probably still my favorite program. Whether or not the kernel or root are updated again is irrelevant at this point. I’m hoping Userland’s move to releasing the kernel as Open Source bears some fruit. Best of luck to Userland; I hope the $39.95 helps.

I’ve been enjoing a bit of ‘Guinness Therapy’ recently.

Who cares that they can’t claim any health benefits, a pint a night has been keep my spirit up for the past week. Guinness claims that in blind taste tests subjects could not tell the difference between Guinness brewed in Ireland and aboad. Still doesn’t taste the same to me. Maybe it’s the lack of the proper ambience. Reminds me of a joke I heard in Ireland: An Australian, American, German and Irishman all pull up chairs at a pub. The Australian orders a Foster’s and declares it the finest on the planet. The American orders a Budweiser and declares…

There are two things that would make me put out $40 in a flash

One would be a Radio tool that could take Manila root file and convert it so that it could be upstreamed. My NahenaheNet site has been on EditThisPage.com since the day ETP opened. The server has gotten a bit sluggish, and while I’m not complaining as it is provided free, I’d be happy to move my site off of it if I could convert it to a Radio site. I realize it’s not trivial, and I’m not that versed in Usertalk or the data structures of the two systems to pull it off. The site has close to 1600 posts…

To renew Radio or not to renew, that is the question.

It’s been nearly two months since I’ve made a post here, and while I do use Radio for some static site maintenance, I’m having a tough time deciding whether or not to renew it. My local home page, which I haven’t looked at in weeks, tells me I have 5 days left to decide. One issue I have is that I can’t remember the last time there was any major (or even minor) update or new feature. I’ve been using the same beta for at least a year. I’ve been using Frontier since the initial release of Aretha years ago,…
