I agree with Josh 

Josh, what you said just now about no FTPing. I agree. In fact I was just evangelizing about that on my other blog last week.

And on the em dash thing, you know what would be nice? This is the kind of thing that somebody other than Dave could do. Maybe even me, but it would take me a hundred times as long as it would take a real programmer. In Expression Engine, there's a little bit of substitution code for an em dash. If you type two hyphens it comes out on the page as an em dash. The way they do it is you have to leave a space on either side of the hyphens, but the em dash shows up closed up with no spaces. Looks nice.

Josh's cars are in the roll 

It's predictable, I think, that any car list from any community would have a lot of Japanese cars, but it almost seems like we might have a larger than average share of German cars? Car roll.

Something's off with Josh's inclusion. In my editor, it looks the same as the other inclusions, but on Dave's community outline, Josh's node has a number as though it were a part of my file and not a link out to Josh's?

Eh. Now it's OK. I just expanded and collapsed a couple times and saved it a few times and now it looks right.

Spoiled rotten 

I've been trying to fix my podcast feed and was getting testy that it wasn't working. Then I realized I wasn't uploading the new file. I'm so used to the ease of saving locally and thinking there's no next step, I forgot to FTP. I'm spoiled.

He's catching on quick 

Richard's already talking across the backyard fence, like we do, since there are no comments. In our case it's only partly metaphorical. Aren't you in Chicago, Richard? Me too, well, Naperville. I don't know how many OPML bloggers there are. Not that many regulars, maybe a hundred? Maybe more, I don't know. Lots lots more who have messed around in here once or check in after weeks or months; it's been up... since July sometime? Seems like there's a place you can access in the database that lists all the accounts; I think Kosso found it once.

It's Madge 

Just checked the changes page to see if my post made it there, and whose name do I see there? Richard Bluestein, AKA Madge Weinstein. Richard, I watched a couple of your videos from the podcast expo. I'm often embarrassed to listen to your podcast (my problem entirely), but I did like the videos; I think it's your medium.

My lit game is back after a break 

Here's passage #82 of Who Said, my literature game podcast.

The game has been on hiatus for about a month. During the break, I changed my blogging habits somewhat. I'm posting only OPML-related stuff on this blog. Everything else now goes on my regular blog -- dumb personal stuff, new century marketing rants, podcasting info, online learning and general pop tech and anything else I feel like posting.

So, here's my question. I don't know if anybody in the OPML community besides Fran ever listened to my podcast when I used to post notices here that there was a new round of the game. Let me know? If I don't hear from anybody, I won't post the notifications.

amybellinger AT gmail.com <- does that even work anymore, leaving out the @ symbol? I'd think the spammers would be way on to it. Assuming they are, once in a while when I think of it, I do something a little different, like amybellingerATATgmail.com
