It's all spinning wheels and self-doubt until the first pot of coffee.

Trying to post from my Radio UserLand instant outline

From Radio UserLand's Outliner @ 4/4/02; 10:24:32 PM

  • Outlog
    • Current status: Online, working.
    • 4/4/02; 10:11:30 PM by LMO
      • Were I insane (perhaps criminally so), and if I knew elisp in emacs better, I would stick instant outlining into Emacs' outline-mode.
      • Then we might truly have the "emacs of outliners".
      • Or something like that.

      • My cats demand my popcorn. The two of them work in tandem, one distracting and the other snatching. Astonishingly, they share the spoils.

      • Concering Arboretum, Mark Paschal says: "No matter what I do, Les Orchard has done it first."
      • Heehee. Funny, I've never had that said about me before :) I always feel like I'm behind.
      • But, Arboretum as "emacs of outliners" is a boast / pipedream. The current state of affairs is not quite that. At present, it's more like My First Cocoa Program [tm]
      • Actually, I think a Python/Tk (or maybe some other GUI toolkit, say ?WxWindows?) would have a better chance at making it to being a cross-platform "emacs of outliners".

      • Been sick. Have to recover. Too many exciting things happening.
      • Many many things I want to pick up and run with.
        • Instant Outlining
          • Arboretum needs to do it.
          • I want diff for outlines.
          • It'd also be neat to do some mining to conserve my attention span.
            • Has someone mentioned my name (or a given pattern) again since the last time I read their outline? Maybe bold and italicize my buddy's name to tell me that I'm really interested in what they just posted.
            • In IRC, using X-Chat, the name of a channel I'm in turns blue on changes, and turns red on changes and a mention of my nickname.
          • I want to write some CGIs that produce OPML.
            • Link them live into my I/O, or allow others to subscribe to them.
            • Will they bolden on subscribers' lists iff they change?
        • Arboretum
          • It's been a little while, but I have been working on an outliner.
          • This seems even more important now.
        • Radio
          • I really like PipeFilters. Need to finish it, at least on the web preferences side of things. Do you like PipeFilters?
          • I want IMAP support in Radio UserLand so I can use it as an email client, and possibly to MailToRSS within Radio.
        • Jabber
          • Firewall traversing RPC is dead sexy.
        • Wiki
          • Why do I like wiki?
            • An interface which steps out of one's way is a productive interface
            • Dead simple markup for humans
            • Dead simple collaboration & versioning
            • Dead simple, almost automated document structure
          • ...and Cocoon
            • Seems like a natural. Transform from human-oriented markup shorthand to an intermediate XML format and run from there with the transformations.
          • ...and Python
            • MoinMoin seems to have a bit of a primitive pipeline going on with formatter classes.
          • ...and ?DocBook
            • We want to collaborate on book authoring at work.
          • ... and OPML
            • Maybe along with Cocoon, make OPML one of the serializations, with hierarchy determined by a sections/headings analgous to HTML's H1-H4 and ?DocBook's sect1-sect4
