Scripting News: Saturday, July 19, 2025

Saturday, July 19, 2025
The nice thing about a blogroll is that it can become a feed reader, in a very small space. It's been on my blog home page for over a year, and I use it a lot, largely because I have to go to that page a lot to see how something I've written looks. Then I see that one of my favorite sites has updated, and I take a quick look to see what's new. The way it works, from a technical standpoint, is that it's hooked into a FeedLand instance where I have created a category called blogroll, and put all the feeds I want in my blogroll in that category. All I have to do to add a new one is subscribe to it in FeedLand, and click the blogroll checkbox. Another developer wrote a post about using their blogroll as a feed reader, and I wanted to put my hand up and say yes -- this is a good idea. People should do this. I like it because it's real innovation in feed reading, something that imho has been lacking in the feed world. Lots more potential here. And you're welcome to use my blogroll as your feed reader. I have put it on its own page but it's at a confusing location. Something to fix, maybe later today if I have some time or tomorrow. :-)#

I'm really enjoying Manhunt: Unabomber on Amazon streaming. One of my favorite genres, crime mystery, esp ones where you know the outcome in advance and you watch the cops deal with all their own incompetence, corruption and culpability.

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 My linkblog, which posts to the Links tab on Scripting News, as well as Bluesky , Mastodon and RSS , now also posts to Twitter and Threads . # Today would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. She died in 2018, and I still haven't, deep inside, fully gotten the message that she's gone. Probably the most significant person in my life. I find most of my adult relationships can be traced back to my relationship with her. # Ignore the NY Times # When President Biden took the stage last night at the DNC, I had a moment of buyer's remorse. He looked so good in his black suit, and the pictures of the new candidates, and their spouses, looked comical in comparison to the president who was about to speak. # Why did Walz have a permanent frown on his face. I find his presence next to Harris is almost always awkward. He's taller, and moves a lot. I noticed this with Sanders when he was debating Clinton in 2016. Sh...

Scripting News: Sunday, August 25, 2024

Sunday, August 25, 2024 The problem with the state-by-state abortion laws that Trump says he favors: 1. The women in states that ban abortion who will die as a result of the bans, and many more who will be severely injured, and all will have their freedoms severely restricted. 2. He's lying. When Congress passes a national abortion ban he'll sign it and boast about it, of course . # If you're interested in languages and compiler compilers and how to bootstrap a scripting environment, then you'll enjoy the progress I've made in the project to get UserTalk running in today's environments. I welcome comments from experienced or curious language devs. # Walt Mossberg : "Journalists have one core job: to tell the truth, especially when it's clear. The staff of the NY Times has done it in the past, even at great risk. Why don't they do it now?" # My response : "We have no visibility into the inner workings of the NYT. We...
