Re: EVEOGANDA: The Making of an Alliance Brand

I'll give you the same answer I gave Rixx on Twitter:

"I'm part of the best corp and best alliance, and fly with awesome pilots that get me. Who can ask for more?"

Sov? That's a headache. Being eve-famous? Pheh. Having fun and making friends that I'd drink with IRL? Damn stright.

Thats a tanky incursus - how long did it take to wear him down?

Yes, I know - I think I understand now what you're meaning: in Markbox, we would render any opml node of type "markdown" as a post. Have to think about how that might work.

Does Fargo write a markdown file for each post? If Fargo can output something like this (see image) then little else is required:

I run a small blogging platform that runs off of Dropbox at http://markbox.io. Markbox renders markdown files from the <dropbox>/Apps/markbox/posts folder to a blog on markbox.io. I'm not sure how the app folders thing would work yet, but I could investigate supporting OPML if there was any interest.

Thanks for the reminder that these things are tradeoffs, mattwillsh. Make a choice but know what it's going to mean for your app.

Ahhh, yes. Looking forward to seeing it again. :-)

I miss Frontier's user + timestamp functionality (I don't remember how it worked but there was a key command that inserted <date> by <user>). Right now I use the "+" to add timestamped notes but I'd rather insert the timestamp at the current insertion point rather than in the year-month-day-timestamp structure that the "+" creates (but don't get rid of the current "+" tool!)

Is there any way to do this now? Perhaps fargo could support user-specified javascript commands that operate on the outline?

Hoping that this is going to be taken care of in the pending update. I love this tool and am guessing these are growing pains as the details get worked out.

I did check Dropbox's versions of the file, but it's not there either. I'm going to check todo.opml and see if there is any data there... UPDATE: nope.

Dave,

I just lost an hour's worth of data. Somehow Fargo thought that the file I was editing was a different file. I was editing sparktree.opml but it seemed to think I was in todo.opml. I closed the file thinking it had just messed up the name, and re-opened sparktree.opml, only to find it an old version with about an hour's worth of research lost. todo.opml was now empty. >:-(

Nothing to be done, but thought I'd let you know.

Is there any way to capture a kb event like Cmd-arrow? I'd love to be able to fold/unfold via the keyboard...

Ah, on my Bluetooth mac keyboard there's only Return (fn to Enter I guess)

Hi Dave, old Frontier outliner-user here... Fargo is *great*. Would love to be able to click the outline title to change it, though. Is there a way to toggle between structure mode and text mode? I hate using the mouse! :P

Keep digging!!

Thanks for sharing about this process - it's always good to see how others think. I'd agree about the "ry" - it's the one thing that always bugged me about an otherwise well-executed design. Good work!

Scriptogr.am may not offer all the features you want in a product. That's fine. You're not paying them. Take your blog to Tumblr if it suits you better, or some other service. But this kind of attitude is unbecoming.

Re: Scripting News: Susan Kare's icons

Steve Ivy — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:48:51 -0000

Wow, Dave, those icons take me back!! I had no idea Susan Kare was involved, yet it doesn't surprise me -- the Frontier icon in particular is truly (wish there was a better word) iconic IMO.

Hi Les,

We've been sans Cable-TV/sat for about 6 mos now, and we're getting by on Netflix and a few iTunes subscriptions and pertty happy about it. My wife really like some of the reality shows (Survivor, Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance) so we just invested in an antenna ande an EyeTV-one usb tuner. AS long as I'm not working on the computer thats doing the recording at the same time, the quality is great and we can watch the next day (still considering a hardware h.264 encoder). We use an AppleTV as our main box, the EyeTV exports to itunes so that shows just show up under "TV Shows" on the ATV.

Hi Matt,

Congrats on 4 years! I made the leap myself on the first of this year, and I'm already excited about the opportunities ahead. There's a mix of fear and joy at hurling yourself off that precipice.

Good luck in 2011.

Re: Scripting News: Silo-free everything

Steve Ivy — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:47:29 -0000

I think from Instagram's POV, the challenge is that Instagram is only tangentially a web app. IG is an iPhone-only social application that happens to also show individual images (no other features) via the web and Twitter. So a scraped RSS feed is a threat to their iPhone-only model. I haven't figured out what their business model is yet, though, since the app is free.

Note, if you post your Instagram photos to flickr (as I do) they're available via RSS using the machine tag that the app adds (uploaded:by=instagram):

Re: Blogging Forefather Seeks to Re-Invent Blogging, Again

Tantek Celik has been talking about this for almost a year, and is building it in his personal publishing system Falcon (which is open source):

This is an extension of the ideas he posted about in this DiSo 2.0 post from very early 2010:

- http://tantek.com/2010/034/...

The idea is that you own your own data - if Facebook or Twitter kills your account then you still have a record. With new protocols like Salmon (http://www.abstractioneer.o... even comments and favorites should be able to flow back out of the silo to your personal system.

I also don't think that this is something that only the nerds should be able to take advantage of. We need to solve it for everyone.
