More praise from Todd and friends for Chimera Navigator as Mac OS X browser of choice. I love it.

Supporting tools from Reinhold Penner, ChimeraKnight and ChimerIcon, keep Chimera Navigator up to date and a thing of beauty.

Radio’s ability to publish OPML outlines (with help from Marc’s activeRenderer) is one of the short list of reasons I’m using Radio to publish a weblog instead of switching over to MovableType. But Radio’s (OSX) CPU requirements are hefty for those times when all you’re doing is editing outlines.

So I’m glad lean, mean OmniOutliner v2.2.1b1 is out, now that it can read and export OPML that Radio can use. Rob confirms “I can edit Radio OPML files with OmniOutliner.”

Looks like an unlicensed OmniOutliner opens Radio outlines with >20 items as read only. To bypass this you can get a renewable 1-day trial license that allows unfettered experimentation.

Yikes, nothing validates here. I dropped links to the normal HTML, CSS, and Mark’s RSS validators in my blogroll sidebar at left, then took a look at the validation results—ouch. I’ve got some cleanup to do.

Update 24-Oct-2002: Whew, it’s not just that I’m being inattentive. Horst observes that Radio-generated pages are inherently messy from a validator’s point of view.

ComputerWorld: Wall St. leans toward Linux: Firms replace Unix, Windows to save money, add flexibility:

With a handful of key Wall Street brokerage firms acting as icebreakers, Linux is quickly gaining ground on Unix and Windows as a mission-critical operating system within the securities industry. The attractions: its flexibility across systems and the savings it yields through the use of commodity hardware.

Posting this browser-free via Kung-Log. Kung-Log v1.5.1 supports MT weblog access via proxy (and therefore works from behind a corporate firewall).
