Mail to blog goof

Monday, February 9th, 2004

The post below shows the result of using Radio’s “mail to blog” feature and
forgetting to turn off your e-mail “signature”. So the bad news is, my
phone line is now posted to the whole web, and I can’t edit it till I get
home. The good news is, I’m out of town and not there to take your call :-)

Still fixing the feed

Still trying to fix my RSS feed. Life, late 2003…

Bad date, bad feed

Tuesday, November 18th, 2003

For reasons that I am unable to fathom the new posts to this blog since late in the day yesterday are no longer showing up in my RSS feed. Any Radio experts have an idea what to do? I haven’t changed any preferences…
ADDENDUM I think I’m figuring it out… more if I’m right…
MOREI know what went wrong (bad system clock setting for 2004 screwed up a post, and that’s munging the feed), but I don’t think I can properly repair it till I am at the office tomorrow. Curse of the client-side blog tool (there are many blessings too, of course).

Odds and ends

The very phrase “Dow 36000″ evokes guffaws these days, but the guys who wrote the book with that title — James K. Glassman and Kevin A. Hassett — offer some cogent defense of their work in today’s Wall Street Journal. Their position, in brief: They never said stocks couldn’t be volatile in the short run; stocks are still undervalued; in the long run, the Dow will reach 36000. In the long run, of course, as Keynes reminded us, we’re all dead.

Mine rescue

Those miners in Pennsylvania have been rescued. Sometimes these slow-news-week disaster stories have happy endings.
