The next version of Jäger will be able to open OPML files from your computer via the “File > Open OPML File or URL…” command.
If you need to export OPML, you can do this from Actions > Tools > Publish Blogroll. We’ll be making improvements to Blogroll publishing in an upcoming version, though it probably won’t arrive for version 1.4.0.
I’m in St. John’s, Newfoundland. High Temperature today: 30 degrees. Woo hoo.
CNN reports:
William Nesler, 23, severely beat neighbor David Davis, 45, early Sunday, less than an hour after being released from jail for having beaten Davis a month earlier in a fight over tools, Tuolumne County sheriff’s deputies said.
[...] Sentenced to 60 days in jail for battery, he served only 32, getting an early release because of good behavior and other credits such as one to alleviate crowding, according to police records. The sentence also included a restraining order to stay 100 yards from Davis.
Godfrey to cities: “Thanks for the votes, losers! Now go suck a lemon”.
More bodypainting from Austria. These are “Die Besten”, though a few woofers managed to get through. The best ones are in the first 10 or so pictures. #15 is the most imaginative of the lot and #25 looks like the one that would be the most fun at a party.
Global News managed to get through a length feature section on the Sudan last night without mentioning Muslims were involved, as both the victims and the perpetrators. Not that it’s critical for understanding the Sudan crisis, but it is important for understanding other things happening in news. Remember this next time from CAIR or whatever writes an op-ed talking about civilian (and “civilian”) deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. And were’s the “Arab CNN” in all this?
Driving to work a 4 AM — i.e. a few minutes a go — watching the pretty girls pour out onto the street from after-hours clubs.
Get it here. This only has a few minors changes from version 1.3.5:
The Onion reports: “I read the whole report cover to cover. Turns out it was terrorists”.
I get all my news from either the Net (cf. Jäger) or from the Newspaper (I alternate days buying the Globe and Mail and the National Post). However, I was at the in-laws last night and I had nothing better to do than flick on CNN and watch the democratic convention.
Well. Teresa Hynes Kerry has to be one of the biggest flakes I’ve ever seen in my life. (Honest, I’ve never seen her live before this). I’m cool with the Boomers and all that, but holy moley, what a hippy ditz. Let’s just say, it’s a good thing she has money or she’d be spending an awful lot of her time with her 17 cats “starshine”, “moonbeam”, “bong”, “mary jane”, “patchouli”, “janis”, …
From Scripting News:
Ted Kennedy: “The only thing we have to fear is four more years of George Bush.”
“And the only thing you have to fear is getting a ride home with me”.

No, no, “Blair Welch” was a failed horror movie rip-off from late in the the last century.

Get it here — it should be a seamless upgrade from 1.3.4. The changes are listed in the previous entry.
Here’s what’s coming in the next beta release:
Things that make you go hmmm:
WSJ (sub required) quotes a Jupiter report stating the obvious: Online advertising will eclipse magazine dollars by 2008.
Who says the government doesn’t work for us?
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS are having to pore through naked pictures of hundreds of exotic dancers to keep impostors out of Canada. Foreign strippers planning to table dance in clubs here must now provide photos of themselves with no clothes on to qualify for a visa for Canada, immigration officials say.
[...] “They can’t be partially nude,” [immigration lawyer Mendel Green] said. “If they don’t have pictures in the nude, they are not going to wiggle their bottoms in Canada.”
Nice description of John Kerry:
a bazillioniare blowhard who works crowds like the Frankenstein monster terrorizing villagers
I’ve totally rewritten the DB code and tossed out everything that folks were having problems with. Here’s the latest Beta version: let me know how it works.
N.B. This upgrades from your 1.2.X database. If you have a working 1.3.X version, your most recent changes will be discarded. Sorry.
Yahoo Headline: “Canada Raps Iran Over Trial of Alleged Killer“. Unfortunately, it’s not the Notorious B.I.G/Tupac sort of rap. It’s more of a Vanilla Ice sort of thing.
Off the top of my head, there’s four interesting things about F1:
How come live F1 coverage only manages to get to the first one? “Oh, look, some action in the background but first lets show Shumacher drive around the track”. Blech.
PS. Go Jense!
I went for my first bike ride today, probably for 50 minutes and came back winded. Christ, I need to get out more.
A POPULAR conceit of the left is that political hatred is a sickness of the right, one to which liberals are largely immune. “Just who are these Clinton haters,” asked Time magazine in April 1994, “and why do they loathe Bill and Hillary with such passion?” It answered, in effect: That’s just the way conservatives are. The article quoted historian Alan Brinkley: “Liberals tend to value tolerance highly, so there’s a greater reluctance to destroy enemies than among the right.”
That was a whopper even in 1994, a year when Republican leader Newt Gingrich was routinely vilified as a McCarthyite and a racist. Ten years later, with a storm of Bush hatred raging among liberal Democrats, the notion that the left is too high-minded to savage its opponents is about as plausible as the claim that the moon landings were staged in Hollywood.
[...] [The New Republic writer Jonathan] Chait went on to make a factual, detailed case for his poor opinion of Bush. But what does “I hate the way he walks . . . I hate the way he talks” mean, if not that the facts and details don’t really matter? Bush hatred isn’t a considered judgment. It’s a distemper; a derangement. To those afflicted with the mania, denouncing the 43d president as an evil moron may seem perfectly reasonable. But normal voters are not likely to find it a persuasive argument. More likely, they will be repelled by it.
Keep it up boys. Maybe the guy downtown at that corner with the tinfoil hat and the trench coat is available for speaking engagements too.
