A Test of FM RadioStation

So far, FM RadioStation is nice.  It sits on top of Radio, so launching RadioStation will launch Radio as well.  Memory footprint is about same (yikes, now I lose 50 meg instead of 25 meg).  There is no performance impact from RadioStation, unlike Radio which sucks up a lot of CPU cycles sporatically and frequently just when I am doing something (like rebuilding a million line project).  I wonder if Dave tuned Radio lately.  Would it be possible to completely port Frontier scripts to Python?  Python-based Radio would certainly invite a lot more people to play with Radio.

Hey, I really like blogging with RadioStation.  At the very least, I am no longer stuck inside a small textarea and don't have to worry about losing by clicking on a wrong link.  Yippy!  Ooops.  I thought I got mail, but its RadioStation boinging me because it found some news article for me to read.  Confusing and wrong.  People expect e-mail to require active participation, but not news.  News should just sit there (its presence at a known location is the user notification) and wait for people to notice it.  A small corner of a newspaper turned 60 degrees or so displayed on the left or right edge of the screen is the right level of user notification.  Since there are frequent need for this sort, there should be a auto-slideout vertical bar on the left (left as que for incoming) for this sort of thing.  Hey, I like this GUI idea.  I think I'll build one for myself and play with it: no more stupid popup bubbles, blinking titlebars, nor boings in midst of my classic music.

Can you notice the way using a different tool change writing style?
