On Planning.... On Planning...

Planning is an unnatural process; it is much more fun to do something. The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression.

User Friendly. Meryl does the dance of joy! User Friendly now has an RSS feed among a few others. Just waiting for Joy of Tech to join the RSS revolution!... [meryl's notes]

Marc Barrot is testing a beta of version 2 of his activeRenderer tool for Radio weblogs. I've been using version 1.4 for quite a while here and I'm now testing version 2. Expect to see some minor glitches in formatting here as I figure out how to take advantage of version 2's more extensive use of stylesheets.

Lots of nice new features.
