Photoshoping with Radio Userland

I've added a jpeg'd banner to my #dayTemplate.txt to show the title of the most recent post and the day's name. Nothing too exciting—yet. Just wanted to get the macros together and everything working.

When I publish the front page or a category's index page, Radio looks for a #dayTemplate.psd (note the file type there—Photoshop document) and writes the text through this template in Photoshop. Currently, I'm only using two text layers: one for the day, one for the title.

Once I have the macros working as I want, then I'll look at writing clear background gifs, and ensuring the length of the titles aren't a problem. And other fun refinements.

I found it!

Increase your Google-Fu:  the coolest search operators aren't documented on google.com at all. [Dicussed on MeFi]

Another one of those sheets you'll need to print out and stick above your screen. Being good at googling is vital.

You've heard of the flights, but would you buy a no frills CD?

Bertelsmann: The no-frills version will look virtually identical to a pirate copy, with only the title printed directly on the disc. It will cost €9.99 - about £6.70. The regular version will cost €3 more. It will include a cover and lyrics. A "luxury" version with additional material and video clips will cost €17.99.

Maarten Steinkamp, the head of Bertelsmann's BMG record label in Germany said changes in technology meant it was absurd to keep sticking labels on CDs saying "Don't Steal Music, It would be better for us to write, 'Thanks a lot for buying something from us,'" he said.

Does this mean they're throwing ion the towel to downloaders, file sharers and pirates?
