Patch Tool for Frontier

Ah, here’s a tool Frontier needed.

CSS v. Tables

Dave, really, it’s okay. I’ve been doing a tableless version of whump.com for over two years now, and I was doing it in Frontier 4.x. The question isn’t if Dave uses tables, but if the tools Userland builds allow me to build the way I want to. I think it’s great that Radio has CSS [...]

Filemaker Frontier Connections

Greg Smith has the prototypes for his Filemaker/Frontier connections running on his server. He’s also written copious notes on how he’s doing it.

Radio as Middleware

[ via Scripting News ] Greg Smith’s thinking about using Radio as a middleware layer on top of FileMaker Pro.

Radio moves data out of the binary and into the file system!

I’m starting to get Radio Userland. Dave’s essay on Radio for Developers highlights a major change (which I hope will roll into Frontier) — all the stuff that was in root.websites and/or Guest Databases is now in the file system: the data, the directives and your own code. And if it’s in the file system, [...]

Scripting News for Mac

Brent Simmons at Userland started a weblog devoted to scripting languages on the Mac. He’s got a mess of worthwhile links already.

Stapler: a screen scraper for Radio Userland

Stapler is a tool for Radio Userland which allows you to set up HTML scrapers using CSS selectors and other criteria.

PHP script for notifying Weblogs.com of an update.

The PHP script’s missing. I need to pull it from a backup. Weblogs.com is changing the way they read updates from blogs. Now you need to notify them, by sending an XML-RPC message, that you’ve updated and they need to come by and fetch the update. To that end, I’ve written a quick and dirty [...]

Don Box on SOAP History

Don Box said he had a “Jerry Maguire” moment, and wrote a history of SOAP. I’ve never seen that movie, so all that comes to mind when I think of a “Jerry Maguire” moment is Dave Winer chanting “show me the interop, show me the interop” during a phone call to Redmond.

Radio Userland goes Gold

Congrats to the Userland Team and Dave Winer on shipping Radio Userland.

OPML Tools

[ via Scripting News ] netcrucible.com, the people who brought you the MSXML.dll FAQ, have created an XSLT style sheet, and some JavaScript for mainpulating OPML (Userland’s Doc format) files.

Manila with Themes

Userland’s Manila continues to impress me. Now they’ve added the ability to apply the look and feel of one of several site templates to a Manila site. I’ve put this iMac-ish template on my Editthispage.com site.

Stackframe weblog

[ via Anita's LOL ] Jack Bell was part of the team who developed Active Server Pages, so you know he’s nrrdy as all get out. He’s also Anita Rowland’s sweetie. He just started a net technology Weblog using Frontier. This is going in my daily rotation.

Including Userland Channels on any Page Using JavaScript

I’m using David Carter-Tod’s component which allows you to include any registered My.Userland.com channel on another page by using JavaScript. With it, I’m putting the Weblog headlines on whump.com’s front page. This is wild: Userland uses Frontier to read my RSS file produced using MySQL and PHP3, Carter-Tod reads the Userland channel using Active Server [...]

Server Side Scripting for Mac Web Servers

[ via Scripting Meridian ] OpenScript is a W*API plugin for Macintosh HTTP servers which allows you to embed Perl, Usertalk and AppleScript in HTML files and have the server execute them. Now we need the ability to wire in objects as we can using Java or COM on U*NIX and NT.
