"The Blacklist" has got me hooked. Up to S01E05 and loving it. Police procedural with good twist.

Dave: I have seen, and agree about, everything on you "loved" list except Battlestar, Boss, and Mr. Robot which I haven't seen. - I will probably skip Battlestar but will try Boss and have started Mr. Robot today. I really enjoyed the first episode of Mr. Robot. Thanks for your list! I have trouble finding good series that i haven't already seen.

Icons on left are flashing on as program loads and then disappear. How do I get them back?

low 80's in Beaverton, Oregon. Low humidity. Comfortable and pleasant! Sounds like another tough day in NYC, Dave.

I suggest that you edit your post to show 0.29%. The current .29% is too hard to read and will undoubtedly be misunderstood by a large number of your readers.

I just completed this in less than five minutes using a domain I wasn't using: http://BiggestData.org. (shows: "It Worked!" until I get some content up.)

Easy to do and "just works." Thanks Matthew!

I'm not seeing the Ec2Support tool in the Tools menu.

When entering pref's today I furnished my twitter credentials which the program was unable to verify. I tested my twitter login immediately and it was working.

South if you enter and exit the elevator through a single door facing the front of the building.
North if the lobby entry door of the elevator faces the front of the building but the exit door on your floor is opposite the entry door.

Re: Scripting News: Getting started with the Instant Outliner

johnr99a — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:23:38 -0000

I did a clean install of OPML Editor. The update downloaded 110 parts.

I followed Step 3: From the Outliner menu, Instant Outliner sub-menu, choose Open My Outline. Your browser should come to the front asking for your username and password.

My browser comes to the front but there is no text asking for my username and password.

I am using Chrome browser: 7.0.503.0 dev

I tried closing Chrome and loading Mozilla Firefox but Chrome still came forward even when closed.

I am running Windows Server 2003.

Dave: been urban biking for many years. Get a small high-pitched bell for your handlebars. Pedestrians hear them easily from quite a distance and don't seem to resent them. Works for me.

I had the same 2 on my short list. I think Up has a lot to say about current social realities.

Aaron:

Finally got back to the OPML project.

I followed your directions and got river2 to install in my OPML program.

However, it won't DO anything.

When I go to the River2 menu and click on the "Am I net-accessible?" question the answer I get is "No you are not net-accessible."

Is this the response you get?

I also can't get any Help (OPML help or Support).

I also subscribed to a couple of active feeds and am getting nothing.

The Outliner tool seems to be the only thing working for me.

Any clues?

Thanks for your previous help. It got me to the next step!

Best,

John

Thanks Aaron! I'll give it a shot tonight and let you know if I have success.

Sorry to be so slow to respond. I only check hotmail on Saturdays. I am much more accessible at johnr@rigdon.com. Thx.

Best,

John

Thanks Aaron.
If you find the answer please communicate. I will do the same.

Aaron:

I am sharing this problem:

"In the OMPL editor, Tool catalog doesn't do anything. I know it reads a "Fat Page" from http://static.opml.org/opml..., but looking at the source there I see a path to Dave's hard drive, which I'm guessing is not correct. Advice?"

How did you get past it? Help? Thx.

Hi Dave, This is John's "Guru". It isn't a connectivity issue. I am able to open the http://static.opml.org/opml... URL in notepad and both browsers (Chrome and IE 8). John didn't realize the file was correctly opening in his browser because he didn't see anything and didn't realize the text started with an HTML comment.

In OPML nothing happens when clicking on Misc -> Tool Catalog or Misc -> Preferences.

Tried that link in a new tab on Chrome - no luck. Also tried it in IE. Nothing coming back. Assume it is firewall. I'm not a techie - ultimate user, though - so will get my guru to check into connectivity issue asap. Thx for help.

johnr99a — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:39:17 -0000

OK. My Verizon router firewall may be the problem. Is there another way to test if I am getting to the server?

Re: HowTo: This is a placeholder

johnr99a — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:28:16 -0000

Just quit and restarted with no success. I also deleted OPML directory in Program Files and reinstalled yesterday when it didn't work first time.

Re: HowTo: This is a placeholder

johnr99a — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:08:24 -0000

No error message. The tool catalog never appears.

Dave:

"choose tool catalog" is failing for me. I'm running Server 2003 which is supposed to be XP compatible. Is that my problem? The editor and other features of OPML appear to be working ok but not a lot of time spent investigating details. Help?
