Things are back after I reinstalled on my laptop and copied the old weblogData.root. I'll write a more length post later. Thanks to all who helped–Jake at Userland–it was his idea.

Update: I changed some of the prefs this time around. I'l delete everything on my iMac “server” downstairs and rebuild it to work as before. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to run Radio faster in an OS9 environment, I'm all ears

Update 2: Came home at lunch to fix some last minute stuff. Radio had a dialog box up and became non-responsive until it was dismissed. Now I remember why MacOS 9 didn't do well as a server OS. :>

I'm in Iowa, posting will be limited…
Here's one that I can't pass up. Be sure to read the comments.
Here's Jon and Brent's comments.

The Genetic Lottery has a link to a new Winston Churchill book. If you don't already subscribe to Tim's weblog, please consider adding it.

I was reading The Morning News and came across this link on the side column. A beautiful building and landmark is in danger. Just as travellers of previous generations gazed at the Statue of Liberty from the ships, current generations of immigrants see this building as their first glimpse of America.

More on the terminal here, here and here.

Sean has a point:

Comparative air travel
Here's a study in contrasts for you:

Flying out of BWI:
After negotiating hellish traffic, your wife and kids drop you at the curb nearest your ticket counter. Arriving one and a half hours before departure, you'll find a half-hour line at the TSA security checkpoint (and, if you weren't smart enough to pack everything into a carry-on, maybe twenty minutes at the ticket counter). You join the unwashed massses dashing for gates, and arrive in time to get on your plane–realizing, without recourse, that you left your cell phone charging in your office.

Flying out of Clinton County Airport in Plattsburgh–
You arrive an hour before departure time. Your family walks in with you–there's two-hour parking fifty feet from the terminal. You walk in, and hand your bags over to the TSA employee who won the draw. You realize you're missing your cell, and your wife drives back to the house and fetches it for you, while your daughter falls asleep on your lap in the waiting area. Finally, as the plane arrives–15 minutes before departure–you hand off your daughter to your wife and walk into the one and only boarding area and pass through the security checkpoint.

Hmmmm. Turboprop commuter planes are starting to look good. [Sean Gallagher: the dot.communist]

I live in a city of 150,000 people and have a small airport. We are served by NWA and AA and my experience is the same as his. Low stress, less hassle, easier parking. Then again, ticket prices are $200 more…

Reader Michael Bernstein came up with an archive of John Robb's last post. Like most people on the way out, things never go well for either side. He obviously didn't get paid enough to a)be happy or b) get over it.

I've been a voyeur at a side show know as the “mark pilgrim experience”. Mark has created a website that monitors the changes that Dave Winer makes in his posts at Scripting News. Clever? Why yes it is. It feeds the reality TV-watching crowd that most of America has become. It's a boxing match with words and technology. It's like watching NASCAR for the accidents.

I for one am sick of it. Dave has pulled out of the fight, and Mark responded by writing a disclaimer.

Mark, I used to read your posts often and they made me think. Your descriptions of your impending marriage to your wife were oddly similar to my own. I felt as though I knew you (as much as one can online) but now I find that I am embarrassed to say that.

Please go back to what you are good at: websites, code, accessabilty and standards. Use this experience to mature your personality before the wine turns to vinegar. Or, just learn the hard way. Wait until the next peer group review in the “real world” when someone comes up to you and says “Hey, aren't you the guy that fought with Dave Winer of that RSS stuff?” instead of “Hey, aren't you that champion for web standards and accessability?”

Good luck.
