Yet another FoxPro Wiki posting. I rewrote the RSS generator (up to version 0.2) to parse the text of the web page, de-HTML-ize it, and pass it to the news aggregators as a description. There’s still more to do, including a timestamp and author information, but progress continues. SteveSawyer. Steve Sawyer is a VisualFoxPro Developer, [...]
Only the third day since December it’s been above freezing, and the local cardinal takes advantage of a puddle for a well-deserved birdbath. I can’t wait ’til spring, either!
I followed Dave’s instructions for Going Crazy with Macros and I can see there is some real power in building up macros to customize your blog. The Radio Userland pages don’t seem to provide many more details, though. Is there a “Programming your Radio Userland Blog” page that I haven’t found yet?

Ted Roche’s wiki entry. Ted’s bio and blatent plug for work [FoxForum Wiki]

A Newsweek interview with Dave Winer. Newsweek: Blogman Becomes Harvardman. Heh. Link from (where else?) Scripting News
Fox Rocks! I’ve managed to set up an XML page that lets me subscribe to the FoxForum Wiki as if it supplied the RSS natively. This is just a proof-of-concept at this point, and not a working subscription I can pass around to others, but stay tuned, it’s coming. The first topic I picked happened [...]
