Finishing up support for skipHours in Radio this morning, on both the aggregator side and the content side. It's in Scripting News, and now also in my Radio weblog. The update has gone out for skipHours-awareness in the aggregator. So far only my weblog generates the element. By default it's on, but there will be a prefs panel that allows you to disable the feature and set the number of hours that appear in skipHours, default is 8. We generate it algorithmically, depending on when you're most likely to update. Surprise, your copy of Radio knows. ;-> Those statistics have been accumulating for a few weeks now. Another thing your copy of Radio knows, is how often the feeds you're subscribed to update. So we can optimize even without adding anything to any RSS feeds.

iBlog is a standalone blogging tool for Mac OS X. It's not a Blogger API or MetaWeblog API app. It does its own content management. It also appears to have a news aggregator built in. It's a free beta right now. It would be interesting to see a weblog created with this software.

The Giants didn't win the World Series, but San Francisco Representative Nancy Pelosi is poised to be the next House Minority Leader, succeeding Dick Gephardt who's contemplating a run for president in 2004, but will probably end up with half the blame for the debacle that was the 2002 election (for the Dems).
