So, I’m messing with Dave Winer’s latest blog tool effort, OPML, and his WordPress interface. I’ve got it working now. If you’re a fan of outline-based editing, or a FrontierScript freak, or someone who likes to screw around with new tech, this is a big deal. Of course, you’ve actually got to plumb the depths of the comments on the support blog to figure out how to get the thing to work, but this should be no surprise to folks who’ve worked with, say, Radio in the past.

Another side benefit: OPML is licensed under GPL.

On the somewhat ironic side: while my interface to WordPress is working fine after a few tweaks, I haven’t been able to get my OPML blog on Dave’s host to update for days.

OK, today totally ran me through the ringer.

It was P.’s birthday today. But one of our housecats managed to escape last night when a gust of wind blew a door open, so I spent a good amount of time gnashing my teeth over that. Plus, there’s some whacked shiznit going down at work, which basically puts me in the position of delivering some very bad news to some folks.

At the end of the day, the cat was recovered (but I got some lacerations of the hand in the process). So at least karmically things are on the upswing. Plus I get to keep my job. W00t.
