Workaround for Firefox on Windows in newsRiver.root. 

I saw a comment on one of the OPML weblogs (sorry I didn't note the address) that they'd like an Ajax interface for newsRiver.root. I would too.

It's open source, so anyone could do it.

On a bone-chilling cold day in Boston the thought of beignets and coffee warms the soul. Tomorrow is a travel day, I'm flying from Logan at 6:15AM Eastern. Today was a movie day, Match Point, a very nice Woody Allen drama with a rich, engaging plot and fantastic acting. A-plus.

Movie: Casting a long shadow.
