Shelley of Burningbird wrote a nice article on Installing and Customizing Planet.

Update: the ‘Installing and Customizing Planet’ link now returns 404 page at Burningbird site. Search on.

I tested the Planet ‘river of news’ application but ran into Python library issues on my server. The server is running Python V2.4.1 which should be ok, but I could not get past the lib error to get Planet going.

Tikouka writes about how you can copy your links from a Wordpress server install to a Wordpress.com blog via an OPML file.

That should be a simple task, expecially since WP.com blogs have a section in the Manage Blogroll section of the Dashboard to Import Links (as an OPML file).

The problem I had though, was to export the OPML file from my blog.

Via Yahoo News - SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) (the link is now broken, sorry) - A California computer security specialist released software to show that hackers can attack networks through widely popular BlackBerry handheld devices.

Daily Kos on ‘War on Terror’.

And our military is fully occupied in Iraq. There is zero chance that we can do anything else in the world to protect our national interest.
There is nothing we can do about Bush right now, but we can change Congress. We must change Congress.

Stop for a moment, read, think and then vote to change Congress. We cannot fight a ‘War on Terror’ (if there is such a thing) with the military. The threats to America are not in Iraq.

Frank prefaces his Binary Bullshit post today with:

IMHO, Frank is spot-on.

Update: 04/28/08 - “girl-geeks-fact-or-oxymoron” link (geek girls!) at Burningbird has moved. I know not where. Ask Shelley?

To link (geek girls!) or not to link, that IS the question. Heh, its a link-fest.

Should you join the WWFD (What would Frank Do) Meme? It is all about Frank Paynter and some link love. Hard to follow the link train, but I think McD over at the “I DID … but I wouldn’t recommend it” weblog started this post, comment, posts, comments, posts, comments, posts meme.

Does McD know that WWFD is also World Wide Future Development? McD? Isn’t he the one who keeps creating weblogs on wordpress, and then deleting them? mcdmcblog.wordpress.com

Update: McD did it again, he deleted his IDID site. We tracked him down though, at Blogocide. Update: He has since closed Blogocide too!

Link Frank to find out What would Frank do? Frank’s a nice guy and he loves links, I think.

There is also WWFD: ‘What would FUNDAMENTALISTS Do?’ Oh no, and ‘What would FEDERLINE Do?’ Does anyone really care what Federline would do? We ran out of links per post as allotted by our ISP, so you are on your own here.
