Adam gets a radio show. And guess what, we're going to integrate his show with our Radio show. This is so cool. The Netherlands is leading the way. [Scripting News]

Yes, we (the Dutch) always do... No, really! And of course I'm going to listen.

The sidebar on the left is now generated from an OPML file:

The script then generates this piece of javascript code:

weblogSidebar={
  'What I read':[
    {style:'button2', content:'Jake's Brainpan',
      gonew:'http://jake.editthispage.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Joel on Software',
      gonew:'http://joel.editthispage.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Lambda the Ultimate',
      gonew:'http://lambda.weblogs.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'markpasc_blog',
      gonew:'http://markpasc.org/blog/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'owrede_log',
      gonew:'http://owrede.khm.de/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Scripting News',
      gonew:'http://www.scripting.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'XMLHack',
      gonew:'http://www.xmlhack.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'<b>All sources</b>',
      gonew:'https://w3future.com/html/weblogsources.html'}
  ]
  ,'Friends/Family':[
    {style:'button2', content:'Joeri',
      gonew:'http://joeri.mulder.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Marco',
      gonew:'http://www.maggerydoo.net/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Jelle',
      gonew:'http://uitdeschaduw.blogspot.com/'}
    ,{style:'button2', content:'Q42',
      gonew:'http://www.q42.nl/'}
  ]
};

The template contains a script that creates the buttons from the data. I named the opmlfile #sidebar.opml. The # means that files in subdirectories can have their own sidebar links, but they default to the one from the parent directory.

OK, what's the number one glaring hole in Radio 8 (aside from the bugs and glitches, which we're working on after spending much of the weekend overloading on excitement and sleeping)? It doesn't connect to Manila. It will. I'm working on a Tool that mirrors your posts to Manila sites. I have it working here. Now here's a heads-up to developers of other centralized blogging tools like Manila. We're using the Blogger API. That means it will also work with Blogger, naturally, and any other centralized blogging tool that supports the API. [Scripting News]

This is really cool. Dave, if I may, can I beta test this, please?

Dan Gillmor: Google effect reduces need for many domains. [Scripting News]

Dan says that you don't need short easy to guess domainnames anymore. But it´s still smart to have an easy to remember URL once you've found it. (Or just provide an RSS file of course)

A remote post. No problem.
