Four major freeways, 880, 580, 24 and 80 all come together from the East Bay, and from the other side -- the Bay Bridge connects all that with San Francisco.</p> <p>Early this morning a gasoline tanker truck caught fire on a ramp connecting 580 westbound with 880, causing 250 yards of freeway to collapse. </p> <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=37.82743,-122.292659&spn=0.022169,0.036693&t=h&om=1">Google map</a> of the maze. </p> <p>Reports from <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/baycitynews/archive/2007/04/29/fire29.DTL">SF Chron</a>, <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=local&id=5255706">KGO</a>, <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_5780113">Mercury News</a>, <a href="http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_5780122">Contra Costa Times</a>.</p> http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/04/29/newTwitterSupportInOpmlEdi.html <p>Yesterday I released new code that allows you to browse the posts from all the people you're following on Twitter.</p> <p>How to: 1. Choose Update opml.root from the File menu. 2. Click on OK. 3. Quit and relaunch the OPML Editor app.</p> <p>There's a new <a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2007/04/29/twitterSubmenu.gif">Twitter sub-menu</a> of the Community menu, with two commands: 1. The Preferences command allows you to set your Twitter username and password, and 2. My Twitter Friends opens an outline <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/04/28/myTwitterFriends.html">window</a> with a list of your friends. </p> <p>In the window, when you double-click on a friend's name, after a short delay, we <a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2007/04/29/expandedfriendnolinks.gif">display</a> the last 20 status messages posted by that person. If the the message contained a URL, the outline node is a link, if you double-click it, the link opens in your web browser (<a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2007/04/29/friendWithLinks.gif">screen shot</a>). Although I haven't tried it yet, if the URL ends with .opml, it should open in-place, since that's a hack the OPML Editor uses to trigger an OPML inclusion. <img src="http://www.scripting.com/gifs/QBullets/qbullets/sidesmiley.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="smile"></p> <p>As usual, report any problems <a href="http://scripting.wordpress.com/2007/04/29/scripting-news-for-4292007/#comments">here</a>, or on one of the mail lists.</p> <p>PS: <a href="http://blogs.opml.org/amyloo/2007/04/29#nowIGetIt">Amyloo got it</a> before I even wrote it up. <img src="http://www.scripting.com/gifs/QBullets/qbullets/sidesmiley.gif" width="11" height="11" border="0" alt="smile"></p> Sun, 29 Apr 2007 15:12:24 GMT http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/04/29/newTwitterSupportInOpmlEdi.html
