Seems that not I am the only one with a bad taste in my mouth after the ICANN Preliminary Evaluation. How could one feel anything else when the Gartner evaluated the technical part of the IMS/ISC .Org bid, as Carl said, "somewhere between totally clueless and moderately brain dead." We are speaking about the peoples/organization who gave us BIND, which runs the Internet, and hosts the F root servers among other important things. Probably we should switch right away all our Unix servers running BIND to, maybe, NT.
So, read Carl’s reaction.
My feeling is that the Occident started recently to like a lot the Balkanian way, funny, we should stop our reform
now since the Occident seems to adopt our way of working. What is
Balkanism? When lot’s of dirty things are made, the press makes some
noise about it, but nobody does anything to correct the situation. When
nobody cares, usually satire is our last defense.

Today I took some time and wrote the mn8 script to harvest my subscription file from Radio and using a simple XSL to render it in some basic HTML. Once I had the HTML files rendered locally I only had to make a main page so that Plucker would convert them in it's internal format. Here are some screen shots.
Not quite satisfied yet, not sure if I should leave the regular HTML
tags in description or I should convert it to txt, since doesn't make
to much sense. The text would be a lot more readable. Also have to make
it to display only the differences since the last run. The buy line
from the shots is from the screen dumper program 
Updated (8 june 2005): This was a simple experiment and by no way a final product or solution. You can check Plucker for an complete Palm based news reader.

Whoa, another Romanian blogging, not many of us out here, subscribed. BTW, looking at your resume you would be a candidate for the Java weblogs.
As for your wish list, neither I am satisfied with the current tools available, played with MovableType, pMachine and Radio. Radio
is almost there the only issue I have is that usually I keep two blogs,
one internal with the announcements, stories and rants which are
related to my work or field of interest or whatever and one public,
unfortunately Radio only handles properly one.
I'm still working on a document which is supposed to clarify what do
I want from such a tool and how it would be supposed to work, just
curious if there is a better way ";-)"
