Happy 50th, Dave

The first version of this weblog ran on Frontier with a script that would crank out a static HTML page when I updated the site. Happy birthday, Dave, from a fellow Badger.

Blogger Relaunch

Woah, Blogger’s all grown up: permalinks, XHTML, and everything. Well done guys, well done.
And Dave, don’t whinge about Atom, just use XSLT. There’s even an XSLT engine that runs in Frontier/Radio.

XSLT for Radio/Frontier

In better news than the elections, Andre Radke released a beta of an XSLT processor for Frontier/Radio UserLand.

DaveNet : Our Deal with Salon

Congrats to UserLand and Salon on the launch of blogs.salon.com.
So if I have a Radio license and a Salon subscription, can I publish to the Salon’s RCS.
In unrelated news, PacBell and Covad have signed off on the new DSL line, I’m going to bring up the home network tonight.

Dave Revisits the Mac Cadre

There’s an editing client written as a Cocoa app. Presence’s framework will be familiar to people who use Frontier’s web publishing framework. You can set up attributes at the folder level to control appearance, as [...]

Radio, meet Cocoon

Dave mentioned Tony Collen’s piping OPML through Cocoon. Cool stuff.

XSLT Support for Frontier/Radio

Last week I asked the Frontier developer’s list about support for XSLT. André Radke is looking at integrating the Gnome libxml2 and libxslt tools with Frontier.
This will be a boon for people who hate writing outline renderers!
Thanks André!

Radio Aggregator Driver for More Like This

I spent part of the afternoon (hey, it was raining) working through Dave Babbit and Dave Winer’s implementation of the Radio Driver for reading the XML feed published by Macromedia, and built one of my own. I learned quite a bit about how you handle XML tables in Frontier.
This aggregator reads the extended XML format [...]

Radio UserLand : Geeky stuff: Driver architecture for the aggregator

This is a test to see if my aggregator driver for Radio Userland works.
