Thursday Pre-Cleanup Musings

I love Fridays at the office. I tend to try and segment my work so that Fridays mean the end of a lot of items so come Monday, there's a lot more clean slate to deal with. I also spend a couple of hours in the morning dealing with the odd's and sods that inevitably pile up in my inbox - you know, the emails that take you an hour each to answer because you have to do a bunch of things before you can answer them? (Read this, talk to him, tell her..etc...yick..)
Anyways, some good Blogware news - the holiday season has come early. We've decided that instead of rushing in a few new features before year end, we're going to do the "Twelve Days of Useability" instead. Planning meeting tomorrow with Tom, more details later...
This entry was posted to Blogware via SMTP - thats one of the things I definitely want to focus on. We allow everything to be posted via email already, now we just need to make things easier.
On another Blogware note...In response to my post about Secure RSS, Roland wondered what the "command line" syntax would be to retrieve a secured RSS - try: "http://userid:password@www.byte.org/index.xml" ... Even better, if you are using a newsreader like Newzcrawler, you can simply pop in a user name and password into the feed properties and let your aggregator do the funky hard URL stuff...
I'll screenshot something up tomorrow that illustrates this...
