Warning!

FYI: You're soaking in it. :-)

Dave Winer's weblog, started in April 1997, bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Abbreviated ride, signs of rain, a bit coooler Permalink.

A picture named bikesmall.jpgA shorter ride today than usual, was sure the sky was going to open up any minute, but I got home without getting soaked.

Fantastic headwind going north, smooth sailing coming home. Because of the apparent rain, the trail was pretty empty for a summer Sunday afternoon. :-)

And it's waaaay cooler, mid-80s now. The NWS says it's raining in Central Park, but not yet in the Village where my kiester is parked.

Map: 51 minutes, 8.97 miles.

Intel version of the OPML Editor? Permalink.

Bill Rice asks on Twitter -- is there an Intel version of the OPML Editor. (That's not exactly what he asked for, but it's the gist of it.)

Yes, there is. If you download it from home.opml.org you'll find there's a folder named "Universal App" in the Mac download. That's the one you want.

I use it every day, all the time. Works fine.

A couple of other things while I have your attention.

I am working on a new site called Hello Frontier, that re-introduces the OPML Editor for Frontier users. I have recently discovered that a lot of Frontier alumni out there have either never heard about the OPML Editor, or don't know it's a much-improved version of Frontier. Full distro, with a lot of improvements and new tools.

Also I never do support on Twitter. This is an open source project, so you have to exhaust all channels first before you ask me to help you find something, seriously. And Twitter, with its 140 character limitation is a ridiculous environment to do support. Bug reports in 140 characters make no sense, wastes both our time.
