A new podcast on idea processing and how it's different from productivity software. Thinking behind the OPML editor I'm working on.  

Yahoo: "Today, we launched a 'My Web', a new personal search engine fully integrated with Yahoo! Search." 

Now that I have a PDA with builtin wifi, I had to have a PDA-friendly version of Scripting News. I'll be making improvements to it over time. It's built on the OPML version of Scripting News, so I'll be able to do the same for other sites that have OPML versions of their content. It'll be especially useful for a new kind of linkblog that I think (hope) will become more popular when my OPML editor comes out.

In the northeast US it goes from winter to summer in the space of a month. It's still a bit chilly, now, in mid-late April, coming up on the one period of guaranteed comfortable weather, and it may last just two or three weeks before the first blast of heat, and it generally doesn't let up up until the leaves start turning in the fall. In northeast Florida, by contrast, the weather has been quite comfortable since I got here in late February, highs in the 70s, generally, you rarely need a sweater, maybe a jacket, but nothing very heavy. And it's still in the comfort zone, now, as we head into May. At some point it's going to get hot, for sure, and then of course come the hurricanes. They say you really can't call yourself a Floridian until you stick it out through a hurricane season. I haven't decided yet.
