New Things

Yeah, I’ve been playing with iWeb over the last couple of weeks. It could be easier to manage—with fewer features than blogger—but easier. It’s prettier too, but that’s not everything, is it? I dunno. Follow the link and see if it might be worth the trouble to migrate. I’m conflicted at this point, so I’m open to suggestions, in the comments please.

Here’s what I understand about it at this point: adding photos will be much easier but there is no commenting system. I’ll have to post the thing at bobtherieau.com to enable the bandwitdh (and to have manageable URLs) but that will kill the RSS features. If I post to my .mac account, the URLs will be horrendous piles of hex, but you’ll get RSS and I’ll get photo synchonization and instant updates—but from the machines that I’ve installed iLife on. If you’re still following, I have two machines, G4s, that’ll run the thing. No posts from the field. Nothing spontaneous.

Granted, I haven’t been doing too much of that lately, the random posts from the email kiosk here and there, but still…

I guess I’ve made up my own mind, haven’t I? Blogger stays for the time being. Maybe Apple will upgrade the tools to allow me to have, well, everything. Not yet though.

Your pal,

P.S. Following the WatergateGate bribery/hooker/Duke Cunningham thing? Is CIA Director-designate Gen. Hayden involved? This is good stuff for the red meat crowd. Bad for the republic. Can the Democrats screw themselves out of a mid-term election victory? (answer: with pelosi leading the charge, of course they can! – ed Good point. – Bob)
