Update on Tools in Radio. After I'd created a dummy new tool I went back to my Radio homepage and there nesting on the Status Center section was
"yourtool Tool: I'm a cool Tool!"
; aw shucks that's dead nice so it is!. Further update: there's a developer callback
yourtoolSuite.statusCenterMessage
that returns a string but of course we could stick any script calls in there and update the homepage. Now I'm really excited by this - it would be great to create monitoring type tools that could tell me when DBs/mailboxes had changed all from within the Radio environment and save me having to fire up other apps/email clients to check. Polling the quine mailbox would be a goodie, ooh, why do I always tend to get new ideas just when I'm intending to shut down the machine for the night. I'll be dreaming in XML-RPC tonight that's for sure :-) 3:44:49 AM

Something screwy in the wacky world of  UK domain registration - they've introduced the new .me.uk domain but at the moment registering a personal domain would cost  me 3 times as much as registering a commercial .co.uk domain. Eh? 2:10:40 AM
