Here's that rarest of things, an anonymous leak. "NPR's podcast portal version 2.0 comes out tomorrow. Now that's progress for a public institution. Release early, release often is making it's way to new places." 

Okay, here's another tease. I bought a really cool domain, and I have an application for it. And they say all the good domains are taken. Seems that none are. Haha.  

ClipShack is a video sharing community. 

A new feature this morning for the OPML Validator.  

I want the OPML Editor to open my OPML files.

Something amazing 

Before I head off to breakfast (another OFGN deal) I want to share something amazing.

First, with the help of the OPML Geeks, I was able to get the classic environment running.

Second, I got MacBird running, so I should be able to tweak up the dialogs in the OPML Editor on the Mac. But much more interesting, I got MORE 3.1 running on this honker, and it's fast and nice and pretty! Wowowowo. What a trip down memory lane.

Back from breakfast 

My exploration continues with MacBird.

I found a whole bunch of sample cards, that's cool, but when I try to run them it complains that it can't find Frontier 3.0 or greater. How weird, because the OPML Editor is running, over on Mac OS X, and it's much more advanced than Frontier 3.0, but MacBird doesn't know anything about it. It's like a time capsule. So then I went looking for a classic version of Frontier on the web, and found the download page for Frontier 4.2.3, but the link to the download is 404. Then I found this directory, which I remember creating way back when (1997), thinking that someday I might want to loop back to an earlier time. Good work, and thanks to whoever at UserLand for keeping the folder there.

Brave man 

Doc Searls: "Meanwhile, I'm taking a run at using the OPML editor, which I've been wanting to try. I may be calling for help on that."

I assume that's the Mac version. If so, it's still pretty raw. But I'm making little tweaks all the time. It's gettin betta, but it's still beta.
