skinnyfarm is pretty cool. still wrapping my head around the idea of a two way rss feed. once the two way aggregator is in place i think it'll make more sense. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

i need to add a few elements to my thoughtStream template like the default macros that generate the xml icon, last updated, and anything else like title that can be auto-generated. where do i get this info of available macros to use in the OPML Editor template? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dave: Dan MacTough already has an FTP callback thingie.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Me: Yeah but it doesn't exactly ftp things up to the server the way, say, Radio does. I forget the details but I tried Dan's ftp thing back when he first announced it and it had some limitation that I just can't recall right now. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dan hopes that someday opml editor will ftp. And Dave says it will happen. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Senator Dianne Feinstein Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I voted against Judge Alito's nomination in the Judiciary Committee, against it on the Senate floor, and I also voted against a cloture motion to cut off debate on the nomination. I have enclosed the full statement I made on the Senate floor explaining my opposition to Judge Alito's confirmation to such a pivotal seat on the Supreme Court. Please know that I appreciate your views and I hope that you will continue to keep me informed of your thoughts.

Probably the most exciting new feature is a little ditty that we like to call Edit in Whatever. Yeah! I'll be able to edit my outlines in OPML.

Droplets are another new addition. Cool.

how to best delete stuff from the editor? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

on the yahoo support group, jason smith asks..

i need to delete the files i've started on Animator Studio, and i dont have a clue as to how. this is frustrating, because it should be pretty simple and straightforward. i need to delete them altoghether and start over. please help!

I see this kind of support question asked in the Radio forums all the time. a user either wants to just start over or clear something out that is on the public server and they don't know how.

would be good to know best practices for this kind of thing.

is there an opml FAQ? i'm sure there must be. who maintains it?

4-1/2 tiny ways to master Mail.app By Merlin on Email

i agree with merlin on this. get mail out of your periphery. it's a distraction. as soon as i decided to hide all alerts of incoming mail, as well as hide the dashboard, my productiviy soared. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dave: How to setup a WebEdit server in the OPML Editor Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I always have to reinvent this, every time I want to set up a WebEdit server running inside the OPML Editor. So now, by posting it here, I can just search for it and I should find the instructions. If you don't understand, don't worry.

user.betty.rpcHandlers.webEdit = @webEditServer.rpcHandlers.webEdit

people.newuser ("Bull Mancuso", "passwordgoeshere", "bull@mancuso.com")

people.attachServiceToUser ("Bull Mancuso", "Custody")

people.attachServiceToUser ("Bull Mancuso", "WebEdit")

skinnyfarm two way rss feeds Permanent link to this item in the archive.

SkinnyFarm is the place to create two-way, shared or public feeds. Matt Terenzio suggested this as an alternative to the yahoo groups and forums.

created a feed for opml tempates. this looks like an interesting concept.

Thanks. Your feed entitled OPML-Editor-Templates has been created.

The feed is located at:

http://skinnyfarm.com/rss/feed/OPML-Editor-Templates

You need a newsreader or aggregator that supports shared feeds. To use a plain old reader/aggregator try the enhanced feed below:

aha! choose OPML Coffee Mug from the Community:Instant Outliner menu. let's strip out that table and font code though. yuk. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

instead of using the code below, i am using Paolo's replacement coffee mug. it doesn't have a white background so it looks better on my blue sidebar. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

What Is This?

Lisa's OPML Editor manual is a good thing. Focused on Windows. How about a Mac version? Maybe I'll try to help out there since I'm a Mac guy. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dave points to the WebMonkey BitTorrent Client Shootout which is a good primer for anyone wanting to find a good client to download torrent files. Already, four days into thoughtStreaming and I realize the need for this kind of delivery service. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

friendster was the first social network i joined that i can recall. it was fun at the time but once i saw tribe, i switched over and didn't look back. now, whenever someone asks me to be their friend on friendster, i groan a little because all the ads make me ill. i want to see my freinds, not your fucking adverts. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
