Robb Beal asks how to set up Internet Explorer to view OPML as XML. Internet Config, as usual, to the rescue. Remind me again why Internet Config integration is less in OS X than it was in OS 9?

I think I've fixed about 90% of the IE6 problems, I found a machine at
school that had it installed. There are still some spacing issues,
but as I Am Not A Web Designer™ they can wait.

Sorry it's been quiet here recently. I've been looking into some new
research ideas my advisor has proposed, but needed a break last night
and wrote a hack for F-Script, a
Smalltalk interpreter written in Cocoa. It embeds F-Script into
arbitrary applications, while they're running, a bit like a debugger.
I wrote it out of frustration with trying to get at the internals of
Terminal.app with gdb. This should really help me in developing
ICeCoffEE.

Amazingly enough, the hard part was identifying what was a Cocoa app
so the user interface would display an accurate list. The built-in
method is broken, so I had to synthesize something from the source of
otool (thank you, Darwin). Other pieces came out of ASM, TextExtras,
libPatch, and the still-unfinished HostLauncher.

Once I work out a few issues I should be able to release it. I doubt
it'll have as wide applicability as ICeCoffEE, but it was just one
night's work!

Does this site look OK in IE 6 for Windows now? I looked at it yesterday, and it looked like garbage.

Please let me know (email link at the bottom, or click “About Me” at left). Send a screenshot if possible. Thanks.

Too exhausted to do anything else, so I'm going home.

Messing around with the template a bit. Wish there wasn't so much duplication in the theme design, especially with the CSS. Content management anyone? Should see how much of the old website framework stuff applies in Radio.

Did some more work last night on trying to get Terminal.app support in ICeCoffEE. TermView claims to implement NSTextInput, but it doesn't.

Breakpoint 1, -[ICeCoffEETerminal _singleClick::]
    (self=0x23e86a0, _cmd=0x276c4, line=0, col=14) at ICeCoffEETerminal.m:198
198         NSEvent *e = [[self window] currentEvent];
(gdb) p (NSRange)[self markedRange]
$3 = {
  location = 0, 
  length = 0
}
(gdb) p (BOOL)[self hasMarkedText]
$4 = 0 '\000'
