Blogeneering

I've been Hot-Teaming this week, it's been a fulfilling two days already to get some significant progress on a project that has languished for years.

I took a brief segway with Jim to do some blogeneering. Jim has been experimenting with activeRenderer, a nifty tool for Radio that does some cool DHTML things.

Radio is pretty powerful, and there are some cool add-in tools that I run into every so often. I wish there was a "Radio Userland Unleashed" book that would cover all of the intricacies of Radio's powerful capabilities. Most of this information is scattered around in various Weblogs and is pretty hard to find.

I run MovableType on some other blogs, and I have looked into some of the plug-in and back-end capabilities it has. I am pretty comfortable with Perl, the language MT is written in and uses for plug-ins, and that is making me start thinking the unthinkable: moving to MovableType for my own Weblog.

As cool as Radio is, I am not sure I am willing to commit the time to learn how to fully utilize it. Especially since the resources aren't very good to do that. I have to pick carefully where I want to invest my learning/experimenting time, and I don't take a new technology learning experience lightly. There are lots of new things I want to learn, and I'm not sure that Radio intricacies are high on my list.
