A new prefs system is on the way for the OPML Editor. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Tim King wants to edit a day's worth of WordPress posts in his outliner. I haven't released the code that does this, but I could clean it up and ship it. Hmmm. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Sunday night on WAMU is old-time radio. Drama, comedy and westerns. I just listened to Dragnet, then Gunsmoke, now The Life of Riley. Later tonight is President Truman's inaugural. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)

On this day in 1998, I released the source code for the Scripting News website. I bet it would work in today's OPML Editor. Should I give it a try? (No-go, the files were on a server that's long gone.) ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Brooklyn Joe created a NY Yankees reading list. Oh man, you can tell I'm really behind reading lists because there are two weird things going on here. First, the Yankees? You gotta be kidding. Second, what's a guy from Brooklyn doing rooting for the Yankees. Hope he doesn't tell his neighbors in Brooklyn he's doing that. Brooklyn is on Long Island, and folks, that's National League territory. Let's get clear on that. But even if the guy is a traitor to his homeland, and without any discernable philosophy, at least he's getting behind OPML reading lists. Which in balance, gets him a link on Scripting News. For now. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Sunday morning bluegrass on WAMU. This station is such a score. Last night they played an hour of hometown New Orleans funky jazz. One great hit after another. Yehi. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Scott Karp's Publishing 2.0 is becoming a must-read blog. He's trying to figure things out. Good on him. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Samantha Schutz is the daughter of a friend of my mom's in NY and she's written a book and it's been published. Cool. What a title! ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
Hey I just linked to Amazon, I've been doing that lately, just a little, as I've relaxed a bit about patents. I've come to appreciate that this isn't a very kind world to creative people, lots of nasty people try to take anything that isn't locked up and nailed down. When patents are used to protect creativity, I guess they have a place. Not happy about that. I still don't support, in any way, the predatory way Amazon has used patents to take ideas out of the commons for themselves. It's the same way I feel about companies hijacking open formats, trying to take control of other people's creativity, without even offering to pay for it. Geez talk about greed. That's why it's cool that Dave Sifry respected my request to get out of the awkward place he found himself. There are other companies that haven't yet responded, and I'm not going to pull any punches if they don't get out the place they don't belong. No one is the Boss Man of the stuff I gave away. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)

Doc Searls and son nail snowboarding. It has a lot to do with falling on your ass and annoying skiers. ![Permanent link to this item in the archive.](http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
