Techies left out of economic recovery. Many tech workers are feeling left out of the nascent economic recovery, but historically the job market lags other economic indicators as the nation pulls out of a recession. [CNET News.com]
That's the US economy. But, I'm also hearing that the UK is pulling back.

Nice little short story. One for the ladies, most probably.

Ah! This caught me a few days back in testing, glad people were listening to the bug reports.
U.S. Concludes Al Qaeda Lacked a Chemical or Biological Stockpile. While Al Qaeda researched chemical and biological weapons there is no indication that it acquired or produced them, government officials say. By David Johnston and James Risen. [New York Times: International]
Now that is a surprise. From all the leaks, disinformation and anti terrorist propaganda coming into the main stream media, about all the possible nasties that bin Laden had up their sleeve, I was sure there was something in it.
You'll be able to SMS to your blogs -- yes blogs. Check out my version of it http://www.cyberSaps.org/ I actually FTP (automatically) to another server, thus, response times are much faster. You'll still get into the blogfootball radar, you'll get as many blogs as you like (though only two Manila sites, but unless you've a community of other people who need to post to your Manila sites, you'll not worry about Manila any more).
You'll be able to bulk upload picture, merely by dropping them into a folder on your desk top.
You'll still be able to edit any files you upload -- news items or just text files you put into your www folder -- that's right -- you'll have a www folder on your machine which is upstreamed to the server. This means that any file -- ANY -- file you drop into this folder will be upstreamed.
You'll get feeds from any other Manila site directly to your web browser, this is perfect for keeping in touch with the Villa bloggers, as well as news from, say, the NY Times, and 3,000 other known channels. You'll be able to blog millions of news items merely with a click... See? I told you even you meatheads could do it. Really, really, it's as simple as Manila -- more I'd say!
You'll still get referers -- here's mine. I'll be moving over to my machine in a few days.
You'll also get tech support from me directly.
I can even arrange it that your existing Manila site is converted to files in your www folder, so this could be seen as a helluva upgrade path.
You'll be able to post items to more than one blog at the same time.
And still you're just using a web browser interface, just like Manila.
Just wondering. Is there anybody out there who'd like to power blog? You get an application that sits in your system tray. Even if you're a complete football meathead ";->" you can still use this stuff, with in 2 minutes and 40 seconds you'll be up and running an posting to your blog, in a new, more powerful way.
The only down side or difference is that you'll need to do it from one computer, where as with Manila you can log into your site from any computer. You can actually set this app up so that if you have a permenant connection somewhere you can log into that instance of the application and post remotely through it, and that's quite easy to set up.
I'm looking for volunteers or guinea pigs, call it what you will.
There is a price to pay, after the free 30 days test, and that's $40 (or £24 approx) and that's to Userland, not to me. If you like it you'll gladly pay. I have.
The up side is that thiis stuff, is very easy, and very, very, very powerful! Believe me when I say very, very powerful. Believe me when I say easy, even for non geeks... I see them on the mailing lists non geeks having fun. This application is gaining ground because of it's ease!
Please, if you're interested, even if you're technical or completely non technical, mail me steve@cybersaps.com and if there's a few of you I'll set up a downloadable version -- a blog football template and settings for this app.
BTW: you'll be able to post to your Villa blog, and for the first pioneers, I'll set up another blog for your personal use... Friends, family, fun... Whatever.
I can't believe this damned bug is back again. When we were hosted in Birmingham, before cybersaps had it's own domain, I used Rob Sharl's domain name for the pictures (pixCyberSaps.sharl.co.uk). When we moved over to the US, I swapped these for the US servers, but, still they crop up again. I can't find where they come from, but every time I see them , I know it's time to run my correction scripts to put those addresses right.
Now, this guy's probably looking at his site and thinking he's done a good job on it. But, soon he's going to see images appear where there wasn't images. What to do? I cannot allow bad URLs on my machine, it's something that's bust and needs fixing... This is the way I'm programmed, and I it may affect others in a bad way... So, HateMan U... This is why, if you want to fix your template just fix, or remove the new URLs in the table cells.
