I am talking to ths flower.


So I just tried to install the Kubrick template. Did it work? That would be no. Yikes. For a second there I thought I'd lost the whole ball game! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Speaking of keyboard shortcuts (which I was, here), does anyone know of a list of the shortcuts available in the Mac version of the OPML Editor? I'd especially like a shortcut for the HTML/Add Link menu item. While I'm asking, how about a user-configurable shortcuts interface so I can set the shortcuts I want for adding HTML to my blog posts?  Click here to access the object that's linked to this item. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Apropos of nothing, Google Maps is far superior to MapQuest, Expedia, Yahoo, etc. for driving directions. That is all.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Here's something fun: The U.S. Constitution in OPMLPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Eureka! When I first started playing with this OPML Editor I complained that once I closed an href tag the link disappeared -- it turns blue w/an underline, but I couldn't figure out how to reveal the link to edit it if I decided I wanted to do that. Well, guess what? There's a keyboard shortcut to reveal your html code! On the Mac it's Command-accent, aka the key below escape (the one w/the tilde). That shortcut is not a good one because in just about every other Mac app that key sequence toggles through all open windows in the front (active) application. Still, it's good to know the possibility exists.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Still experimenting. (Ok, everything is an experiment so long as this is all beta and blogs.opml.org is only temporary, etc.) But I adjusted my blogroll on another machine -- a Windows machine, actually. Then I started using the editor on this machine, a Mac. Now when I open my blogroll outline, it doesn't show the changes I made to my blogroll on the Windows machine. Is there an easy way to make them sync? Oh, and now I notice that now that I've opened the blogroll.opml on this second machine, the changes I made on the windows machine have disappeared online, as well. Cool. Not. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Hmm. I'm posting this as a different user, but apparently it's going to the same place, yes? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Strange! Apparently it doesn't go to the same place! It goes to the the blog of the new user, but when I click "view" in the outliner window, it still takes me to the old user's blog. Bug? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Oh, and later, when I log back in as this user, the above posts are still in my "today's outline." I think this toy wasn't really made to be used by the same person as multiple users, but at least I'm not the only one who has tried it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
