A stream of thoughtsciousness
My name is Donovan Watts. I am the Founder of Getting Sites Built, a web design agency.. we plan, design and build websites. Donovan's thoughtStream is my weblog. For kicks, I hoop.

Start here
what is going on with opml editor? for the past few days it's been spinning the beach ball for 30 seconds or so, totally interupting my thoughtStreams. not cool at all. maybe it's something else. time to restart or something. 
so, what's the protocol with changing things around in my top level directory created with map a domain? i change things around like a bat out of hell which means that anyone who may have (hah! as if) bookmarked a page within my outline is now going to get a 404.
idea: how about treating an opml community like students in a school. four years and then you are out. gotta move on little bird. take your opml blog and hit the road, jack.
i always enjoyed hooping in the company of verabug. she's a fantastic hooper and she's freaky. cool.
you go, verabug.
no. must resist. set my. own.. rules.
cleanup on aisle 9. donovan is drooling. for the headset silly. get your head outta the gutter.
fuzzyblog: "Bluetooth is a standard that, 5 years later, still sucks balls."
typical work session. late at night. i'm in redmond, washington. canton is in santa fe, new mexico. firefox. one tab is basecamp for project management, another is campfire for chat, another for gmail, and another for the client's site. i've got my opml editor open and am typing notes into my client outline. once i convince my partner to install the opml editor, we can just subscribe to our own private i/o's and really get things done.
somebody named thoughtfix (right on!) installed the 770 in his car as a gps
for shoots and giggles i created a donovan watts reading list containing feeds to all of my sites. i'm going to add this to my top level d.rectory in case any stalkers want to get a head start.
roxy music. ahhh.. "take me on a roller coaster. take me for an airplane ride.."
so should i just be happy that my little device awoke from its coma? or should i be worried for why did it fall into a coma in the first place? by coma i mean that once i performed a flash upgrade, it no longer recognized any wi-fi signals. until tonight.
oh yeah. gotta grab xterm as well so i can properly install things like the rhythmbox.
thanks for the pointer, cosmicdread. i had rhythmbox installed a few months ago and loved it. then my nokia went into a coma. i'm off to reinstall the box. the nokia 770 is the shizazzle. sorry, no extras for you but if i had some i'd give you one.
neat... i accidentally somehow managed to change the swicki search engine colors on my site but now they are blue and match my thoughtStream so well. sometimes good things come from mistakes, donovan.
Nokia 770 Search Engine 
i have created a reading list for the nokia 770 internet tablet.
there are only two feeds for now. i'm going to try to keep it lean and mean. internet tablet talk and a technorati tag search for "nokia 770" update: just added The Syncing Apple and a flickr photostream.
look at how nice opml editor generated directories using the map a domain feature look on the nokia 770 internet tablet
i should create a nokia 770 reading list
this really makes me want a linux version of opml editor. or whatever the heck variant this thing runs on (maemo.org).
now that my lovely d770 is working again, i'm off to internet tablet talk to pick up some good software for the thing. first up is a screen capture app.
Team OPML. nice one comic dead!
franny, i think something is screwy with your blogroll (well, i guess you already figured that out!).
i took a look at the code on your site and the blogroll stuff points to this page
http://hosting.opml.org/MentalHealth/blog/decorations/opml_blogroll_thin.swf
when i view that page, i can see my name underneath OPML Blogs but I don't even see your opml blogerooties folder. so, i suppose that you should revisit kosso's instructions for installing this fancy schmancy blogroll thangy.
personally, i have it installed as well but couldn't tell you off hand how exactly it works.
yeah! my nokia 770 just magically started working again tonight. it's been a long time my friend. donovan is a happy, happy boy.
here is what i like about Nuevos.
it's my own little private search engine for my mac. an example..
i would like to be able to search the opml community site without having to visit the web page to enter my query. how do i accompish that? by creating my own search engine in nuevos
now, whenever i want to search the opml community site, i just call up nuevos via a hot-key, choose the opml community search engine i created, enter a term and hit return. i'm taken to the site where my answers await me.
the neat thing is that you can create many of these custom built search engines for those sites you like to query on the net often.
what's that? oh, you want a movie? ok...
here we go. i would like to search for amy on the opml community site from my mac using nuevos. here goes...
Nuevos: Now available in bar form. Nuevos: “Nuevos is a Mac OS X search utility allowing you to search using almost any web-based internet search engine, including ones you define, from a small window.” By Brent Simmons. [ranchero.com]
scott is a man who is not afraid to use his instant outliner.
i want to help with the opml editor 1.0 site.
