It’s no secret, Dave!

The ability to edit my Manila site was one of my primary motivations for buying Radio in the first place. The second, back in the pre-iTunes days, was to drive my MP3s and record my listening habits. The only thing it is missing, and I went around with Brent on this way back, is the inability to post news items to a Manila site from Radio. I understood his point – some things may be more conducive to a web interface – but why bother if you could avoid it? You can post new stories and new discussion group messages,…

Radio and Safari – A Winning Combination

I’ve always been throughly disgusted with Internet Explorers sluggish response when used in conjunction with Radio Userland. I’m much happier with the combination of Safari and Radio. Window redraws are much quicker, sometimes instantaneous. This may not be news to anybody but me, but its been a long time since I’ve used Radio this much.

I got Trackback working on my Manila site, though I doubt it will generate a lot of links; not too many other people out there in weblog-land into Hawaiian music. It could get interesting when Trackback comes to RadioUserland. I love testing new features when Userland ships them, and hopefully will be able to get more consistent about doing it here. One thing I’d like to figure out – if I can create a category in RU, and whever a post is made to that category, that it automatically creates a new news item on my Manila site. I’ve had…

Thanks for the link and comment , Dave.

Thanks for the link and comment, Dave. Maybe you can help clarify how much of this end users like me needs to understand. I sense the disconnect, too, but I’m not a developer. Maybe I qualify for power-user status, and have hacked away on Frontier and RU enough to make it work with Hawaiian language, my major concern. I’m busy teaching, designing web courses, finishing my MA and trying to get some guitar chops back. While I don’t mind getting my hands dirty with the tech stuff, how deeply does Joe-Average-User like me need to get involved with this issue,…

Dave , Ernie the Attorney and Bernie Goldb

Dave, Ernie the Attorney and Bernie Goldbach discuss the merits of various cellphone/pda devices. I’ve successfully fought my wife’s attempts to have me buy a portable phone for a few years now. Some of these devices are tempting. These are the things that I would require, and none of the devices listed have them all: Cell Phone with headset/mic jack QWERTY keyboard MP3 Player (holds at least 50 songs) Palm OS driven Mac-compatible synchronization applications Email, web and instant messaging The following would be nice, but their absence would not be deal-killers: GSP capabilities Color display Back in the mid-80s…

It had to happen eventually, just had to put my head down and do it: http://poe.olelo.hawaii.edu/keola/ Po’e ‘Olelo Hawai’i literally means “Hawaiian language speakers”; an appropriate domain name as I’ve ever seen.

It had to happen eventually, just had to put my head down and do it: http://poe.olelo.hawaii.edu/keola/ Po’e ‘Olelo Hawai’i literally means “Hawaiian language speakers”; an appropriate domain name as I’ve ever seen. I’m about 90% of the way through localizing Manila into Hawaiian. A lot of little things to fix (like the CSS in all of the themes), but I’m not going to stop until it’s done. We’re going to use this for our Hawaiian medium schools, teachers and students statewide. That page pointed to above is one filtered before it is rendered to a static server, to take advantage…
