Used the outliner for an outline today 

I had a bunch of notes to make, a brain dump to help my old boss assume a project. (I'm moving to another department.) I started it in e-mail, then it got big and I thought about Word, then.... aha! The subject has a bunch of aspects, many with a bunch of subaspects, so let's use the OPML editor and build it as an outline.

I guess I'll deliver it as local HTML file since its recipient doesn't have this editor.

Funny thing: while I was working, an IT person from the organization came in to bug me about cleaning off my old files from the laptop I have to turn in to the former department. She glanced at my monitor and saw the editor open, and squinted and I could see her face saying "What's that?" But she didn't ask or say anything. They don't scold me anymore for using "unauthorized" software. Got them trained, I do. I'm a clever one, I am.

Can't make myself stop it 

Lisa Williams pointed to somebody who was wondering about having this blog and another one. I've been noticing I've been neglecting my "real blog." I don't want to do that. This one seems to lend itself to rambles. Not sure why. I have been reposting a few things to my regular blog, and using this as a draft space. Not sure why I'm doing that either.

Somebody's already subscribed to this in Bloglines. I don't want that either!

It is very easy. Fun, too. Probably it's fun partly because it's new, but I think there's something else to it, too.

Now what is iTunes doing with podcast feeds? 

I don't pretend to understand the whys; I'll just report what's happening.
Everything is just great with my newest podcasts showing up immediately in iTunes, but they must still be screwing with the feeds. There's a 1-month gap in my archive. I know when it happened. I'd been displaying all the episodes in my feed. When I started getting worried about bandwidth (and also didn't want iTunes to play my very first one as an example) I limited the feed to 25 entries. Why don't they just leave the feed alone?

Had a funny feeling that would just work! 

I wanted to start these postings on a new day, so I just made an 08 folder for August and put a 1.opml file in it. The default index even displays the August 1 posts, even though tomorrow is still 35 minutes away in Eastern time.

But! Now it's after midnight Eastern, and when I go to the community menu and opened today's outline, it still thinks today is July 31. No, wait. I guess it changes pages based on your local system clock? Takes some getting used to, all these things that happen locally.

No, that wasn't it at all. The 1.opml file worked OK, but it needed to be named 01.opml to be recognized as today's outline.

Is there a link back to the previous month's entries?

New passage in play in my lit game

Just putting in some garbage to see how the background image looks when the page gets long enough to repeat the circle. 11k 1200x2000 image, not bad.

I like circles.
