Because in either game -- life or football -- the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!&quot;" created="Sun, 13 Jan 2002 02:39:00 GMT"/>
		<outline text="So when I say &quot;inch by inch&quot; -- that's what I mean. To create a usable piece of software, you have to fight for every fix, every feature, every little accomodation that will get one more person up the curve. There are no shortcuts. Luck is involved, but you don't win by being lucky, it happens because you fought for every inch. " created="Sun, 13 Jan 2002 04:23:56 GMT"/>

Last year he was in a horrible car crash. And that leads to more change. I know what it feels like to sit in your living room with no furniture and no framework for your future. Been there. There's so much to say about it. You know that's a turning point in your life. No two ways about it. What comes next will not be like what came before. That can be very uncomfortable, but it's survivable. " created="Sat, 12 Jan 2002 14:46:08 GMT"/>

I'm going to get right on it. One of the things on my post-ship list is to write a file-system &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.userland.com/upstreamingDriverArchitecture&quot;&gt;upstream driver&lt;/a&gt;. Anyone who does WebDAV uploads is going to need this. If I get the time I'll try to write it today. Also Kimbro talks about modifying scripts. Now would be a good time to give this speech. As long as you don't modify anything in Radio.root you should be OK. The root.user table is yours to do with as you please. But everything else is subject to being updated by us (bug fixes, features, the normal stuff). Of course you &lt;i&gt;can&lt;/i&gt; modify our code, but you'll be sorry when you lose your changes when we update the script you modified. It's better to work with us to get callbacks in place for customization. Callbacks are future-safe." created="Sat, 12 Jan 2002 13:59:10 GMT"/>

Now imagine that the server is very close and you don't have to share it with anyone, it's yours and yours alone. It would be fast!&quot; That's Radio 8.

What was that. Some kind of truck drove through our little world last night. You should have seen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weblogs.com/&quot;&gt;Weblogs.Com&lt;/a&gt;. Man. It was like a drunken party with crazy girls and lots of booze and hard drugs. A new &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/2002/01/12/highwaterradio8.gif&quot;&gt;high-water mark&lt;/a&gt; -- on a Friday night! I've never had a product ship like this. What a trip. I hope it never returns to normal. We turned a corner. A big one. We spent a lot of long days and nights preparing for it. There were times when I thought we wouldn't make it. But in the end I think we met our goal. 80 percent of the people get to first-post in five minutes or less. Yes, of course there were problems, and we still have a lot more we want to do with this software, there are lots of tools and tutorials to write, lots more bugs to fix. It's a big piece of software, almost fourteen years of code under the browser interface. Yes it mostly works. Inch by inch. Thank you Murphy. &lt;i&gt;I'm not worthy I'm not worthy.&lt;/i&gt;"/>
		<outline text="As I review the posts on the Radio UserLand &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.userland.com/discuss/&quot;&gt;discussion group&lt;/a&gt;, we've seen some of these problems before and have addressed them in the software. Don't jump to the conclusion that the feature isn't there. It may be, just tucked away in a Pref. Poke around in the Prefs system, it's worth looking at. We put a lot of work into that. We had over 100 beta testers starting in October. They told us what they wanted. Sometimes we were able to make it work the way they wanted. Don't assume the feature isn't there. It may be. &lt;i&gt;Time for some coffee!&lt;/i&gt;" created="Sat, 12 Jan 2002 13:03:45 GMT"/>
