		<outline text="About the outage. It looks like we'll be able to do a full recovery. However it's going to take a few more hours. We've had this problem before, once, when we were first starting EditThisPage.Com, but we have a lot more sites now, so it takes longer to recover. Sorry for the outage, but.. what can you say -- it happens."/>
		<outline text="Oy Microsoft is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.com/news/521625.asp?0na=22045P2B&quot;&gt;still fighting&lt;/a&gt; with Sun over Java. Prediction: Java developers won't switch to Microsoft. They want Write Once Run Anywhere. It's such a boring argument. It's why things stay small. Better bet -- build stuff that embraces Java, not routes around it. It won't work. Bad philosophy."/>

		<outline text="I've been hearing great things about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apress.com/&quot;&gt;Apress&lt;/a&gt;. It was described to me as an author's book publishing company. If you write a book for them you get stock. Right on. Now we need an author's &lt;i&gt;software&lt;/i&gt; company, one that won't disappear when the latest fad dies. One that supports software developers based on reality, not a 24-by-7 deathmarch and has values that go beyond the balance sheet."/>

		<outline text="Moshe Weitzman says Shakedown Street is what I'm lookin for for tonight. I'm listening right now. It's one of my favorites. &quot;Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.&quot; Too bright. I like the jazziness of Weather Report Suite. Dreamy and soft. How about The Other One? &quot;Spanish lady come to me..&quot; Michael Fuller suggests the entire Blues for Allah album. I'm listening to Blues for Allah right now. It's beautiful. Bluesy not jazzy. Quite dreamy and soft. I think it's a good choice."/>
		<outline text="Tonight's song is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/gdead/dead-lyrics/Franklin's_Tower.txt&quot;&gt;Franklin's Tower&lt;/a&gt;, a live version from One From The Vault."/>

			<outline text="Houston this is Apollo 13, we have an outage. "/>
			<outline text="Murphy struck one of our servers last night. It must have happened as I was posting an email saying &quot;Our servers don't crash anymore.&quot; "/>
			<outline text="Anyway, one of our machines is offline, the one hosting EditThisPage.Com, and a bunch of user sites. We will probably have to restore from a backup, but we're not totally sure at this time. We're going to find out how good our backup system is. And we're going to find out how fault-tolerant (some of) our users are. "/>

			<outline text="As the Desktop Website part of Radio gets close to completion, more people are using it (cool) and doing blogs with it. One of the nicest features is its &quot;content router.&quot; Let's say I see a story in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomalak.org/&quot;&gt;Tomalak&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myapplemenu.com/applesurf/&quot;&gt;AppleSurf&lt;/a&gt; and decide to route it to my Dot-Com channel or my Macintosh channel (just examples). To do that, I click on the Edit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/myBlogScreen1.gif&quot;&gt;button&lt;/a&gt; next to the item, it flips to the My Blog page, where I can add comments, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/myBlogScreen2.gif&quot;&gt;choose&lt;/a&gt; categories. Then I click on Post or Post and Publish. Off it goes to my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/blog/&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; and to the RSS channels for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ourfavoritesongs.com/users/dave@userland.com/rss/music.xml&quot;&gt;Music&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ourfavoritesongs.com/users/dave@userland.com/rss/macintosh.xml&quot;&gt;Mac&lt;/a&gt;. But wait a minute, I just took something from Tomalak and AppleSurf without giving credit. (Some of our bloggers have been manually inserting the credit, they're good people, of course.)"/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.egroups.com/message/radio-userland/6748&quot;&gt;Last night before&lt;/a&gt; going to dinner I added a feature that made credit-giving and flow-sharing automatic. Now when you blog something, the source information goes along with the link and is included in the RSS output. (This is why I added the &lt;source&gt; element a few weeks back, anticipating this.) Now, I got an email from Heng-Cheong Leong, the editor of AppleSurf, asking about this, this morning, and I was glad to have last night's post ready to show him. Yes, as the author of an oft-quoted weblog, I share his concern. I want my name and a pointer to my site to go along with the routings."/>
			<outline text="Of course some idiot is going to patent this three years from now and sue me. &quot;It's even worse.. etc.&quot;"/>
			<outline text="Meanwhile Karl Lewin is working on a Radio-like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/zopeMakeRadioCool.gif&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; in Zope. And this is cool. Spread the load. Let's get a new content-routing network going. The more the merrier."/>
