Speaking of Citibike, they sent an email asking if I'd like to be part of their Bike Angels program. Yes, of course I would. You're basically part a human load-balancer for bike stations. There's an app that shows you which stations need bikes and which have too many. If you move a bike for them, you get reward points. With enough points you can give friends (visiting from out of town for example) free days of Citibike. I'm exactly the kind of person to pitch this to. I'll do anything to get more people on the bike paths in NYC.

Right here!!

07/09/17; 23:19PM

Let's see what happens!

  • No surprise -- it worked.
07/08/17; 22:36PM

Every day a new post to see if Fargo is still working.

And the answer is...

  • Yes, yes indeed. It is still working.
07/05/17; 15:29PM

Is Fargo still working?

Yes indeed.

07/04/17; 11:16AM

On the Little Outliner support site, a user named Glenn asks if the docs, which were written in Fargo, will continue to work when Fargo stops working. The answer is yes. Dropbox is not needed for the hosting site. The pages are stored in Amazon S3.

07/03/17; 09:23AM

It's July 1 and we're wondering if Fargo still works.

07/01/17; 07:47AM

Go figure!

06/30/17; 18:45PM

According to Dropbox the API was supposed to be turned off yesterday. But here I am in Fargo creating a new post in my test blog. So far it seems to be doing okay. I'm getting an error message in the console saying "Too many requests" but that's par for the course. It's been saying that for months. Never figured out why it's making so many, or if that's a problem with the API or what..

I guess the real test will be if this post makes it up to the server. Let's see.

Update: Yup. It's there. So maybe there's a grace period in the expiration? Or..?

06/29/17; 07:16AM

This is a nice test of Fargo to see how it is working.

What a nice page this is!

The CMS is a very nice piece of software.

Let's see what we can do.

I did a bad thing, I let the domain rsscloud.org lapse.

When I did that, all the rssCloud docs fell off the web. ;-(

We need them back, so I bought rsscloud.co. It isn't perfect but most of the docs now work.

The main pages

publisher.rsscloud.co

walkthrough.rsscloud.co

cribsheet.rsscloud.co

Other pages

2932.mediahackers.org

apache.rsscloud.co

Hello

05/30/15; 09:05AM

I decided to fix the address in Fargo, rather than rely on pagepark to do the mapping.

So hopefully everyone will update their copy of Fargo to the current version, done simply by reloading the page.

05/11/15; 10:20AM

I am going to try to publish this through my new server and see what happens.

Davey you have a very interesting little project here!

Damn if this isn't the cat's pajamas.

I get it now

Time Loves a Hero

  • But only time will tell

  • If he's real

  • He's a legend from heaven

  • If he ain't he's a sinner from hell.

This is an example of an outline

  • I have structured it deliberately using the outline structure.

  • There is no Markdown here, just outline structure and HTML.

  • This is a test: Scripting News.

  • Little Pork Chop

The details

  • The attribute is #flMarkdown.

  • If it's an outline, and markdown is turned off, we use the outline renderer.

  • That's what makes sense.

  • Yes.

Intuitive not intelligent

  • It's intelligent enough. If there are no subheads it knows that this should not be formatted as a headline.

  • However if there are subheads then it assumes it's a list.

Here's a nice outline

  • Western states

- California

  • Oregon

    • Portland

    • Eugene

  • Washington

    • Mid-Atlantic states
  • New York

    • Albany

    • New Paltz

    • The Hamptons

    • Brooklyn

    • Buffalo

    • Syracuse

  • Pennsylvania

    • Pittsburgh

    • Philadelphia

  • Delaware

  • Maryland

    • Baltimore

    • Anapolis

  • New Jersey

    • Trenton

    • Newark

    • Princeton

A few interesting tweets

A list of things

  • Baseball glove

  • Stereo phonograph

  • Toyota Camry

  • Lawrence of Arabia

  • :kiss:

But then there's another paragraph and everything is back to normal. Until something appears underneath it then it becomes a headline again. You learn how to play with it, I guess.

07/10/14; 19:28PM

I heard that when you type the term si:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:igit into Fargo you get a weird Emoji character.

That's six hyphen digit. The trigger is x hyphen d.

Let's see if it happens here.

It does.

We're using Emojify in Fargo to do the rendering.

One thing you can do until we figure out what's going wrong is you can turn Emoji's off globally or on a single page. See the announcement page for Fargo 1.60 to see how to do it.

Perhaps this should be reported as an issue on the GitHub project?

I added a comment to a reported issue that says that'd gets screwed up in a similar way.

07/01/14; 13:54PM

Outline is the most basic type in Fargo.

Here's a tweet inside an outline.

06/27/14; 11:32AM

Here's a couple of tweets for your consideration

One more just for good luck!

06/27/14; 09:57AM

  • This is a test

    • Below is a tweet. Let's see if it renders.

06/27/14; 09:45AM

This is a slide

  • This is a little text on a slide.

Another slide

Yet another slide

  • And just for fun a little more text on a slide.

When I did the transition to the new format of Scripting News over the weekend, I decided for the moment not to change the format of the feed. However I will do it, eventually -- and it's almost certain not to work well in some feed readers, maybe most of them.

One of the reasons I wanted to give it a little extra time is to create a time for feed reader devs who care to make the small changes necessary to accommodate title-less items.

Example #1

http://scripting.com/noteblog.xml

This is the feed for the noteblog. You probably should not subscribe to this feed because it will stop updating when the next transition happens. But it's an example of the kinds of items that will show up in the main feed.

Example #2

http://links.scripting.com/rss.xml

This is my original linkblog feed, going back to 2010.

All the items in this feed are title-less.

Background

If developers want to handle the coming changes in Scripting News these two examples should be enough to make these feeds work in your software.

I explained the changes, and the reasons in this March 9 post.

Update

Mike Rodriquez reports that Newsblur supports title-less feed items.

Here's how Chrome deals with title-less items. Not optimal!

And here's how River 3 deals with title-less items.

Feedly handles them a lot like Chrome.
