Using WordPress as an OPML Manager
Panayotis Vryonis sent an email saying I might be interested in what he’s doing. He was right about that!
He’s got WordPress serving OPML to Nokia’s podcatcher, apparently it supports dynamic OPML (what we call reading lists), a very powerful and useful feature.
Well, well, well..
Look at how well all [...]

A milestone for nytimesriver.com
nytimesriver is on the first page of results when you search for “NY Times” on Google.
http://google.com/search?q=ny+times
I find that amazing. Maybe because we don’t sell links (or take ads).
Marc Canter isn’t disclosed
Google hasn’t sworn him to secrecy so he can speculate on what Maka Maka is.
Okay the new Wii works better, [...]

Steve Rubel lets one rip!
He had some Wheaties this morning for sure.
My advice…
1. Remember to have fun.
2. We’re all bozos on this bus.
3. We’re all barking farting chihuahuas.
4. I make shitty software and so do you.
5. It’s even worse than it appears.
6. You never learn anything hanging with the same people.
7. Thank heaven for little [...]

Geek dad and Junior the geek
At Fry’s this afternoon, where I bought two 500GB Firewire drives for $169 each.
Which it turns out I needed because after I got home all three external drives attached to my desktop were reported as damaged beyond repair by the new Mac OS. Coincidence? Lucky that I had exactly the [...]

Thanks Yahoo!
The numbers are up at nytimesriver.com.
Here’s why. It’s the top link on Yahoo under newspapers.
Two hops off the directory home page.
Very nice!!

PS: What’s next? Link love from the NYT itself?
Dear lord of Leopard…
I want my white menubar back.
I think the idea of the translucent menubar is wrong.

The scoop on the Leopard delays
7PM: I got my disk.
9:25PM: Updating in Leopard. The OPML Editor seems to work. Whew. Not sure what I would have done if it didn’t. When it finally finished installing it started playing some really happy music and of course it sounded really good. Things definitely look nicer. [...]

Flash Leopard conference, Monday PM?
An idea I’ve been thinking about for a while and looking for an opportunity to do is a “flash conference” along the lines of the flash mobs that were so popular a few years ago.
Here’s how it would work…
Some event happens that focuses the attention of bloggers, one where there’s [...]

New search tool
I replaced the Google-based search tool in the right margin with one from Lijit.
Screen shot.
I found the Google one took up too much space, and I couldn’t easily configure it, I never used it, and I grimaced every time I saw it (it felt like an [...]

TechMeme for the NY Times?
A few notes on the NY Times outline…
1. I switched it back to the frequency sort, having tried it as an alphabetized list for about 18 hours. Now I want to see what happens with it flipped around so the most frequent keyword bins appear first.
2. Not sure, but I think [...]

Something new in News
It’s not very often that you see something new in News.
News is not exactly new technology, but when personal computers came along, and then widespread networking, it created a whole new playing field for news, that has shaken things up for most of my life. Change comes in fits [...]
