"Test pilot Michael Melvill rocketed into the history books Today, becoming the first person ever to become an astronaut without the help of any government-funded hardware.I am definitely going to see the next launch.Melvill, took the privately-developed three-seater rocket up to its 100 kilometre target in a flight that lasted about 90 minutes in total. Take off from the Mojave Airport in the Californian desert."
UserLand are you listening?
Will R. read my WordPress comments and pointed out how close Manila is to being an ideal writing platform for the education bloggers,"Sigh...A huge win for the educational market is the ability to manage comments in a comprehensive way, with a filter or by allowing a site manager to queue all comments for approval. Plus it has the ability to password protect individual pages.I get really frustrated sometimes by a) my inability (time and skills) to play around with other blogging software packages and b) by how close Manila comes to being the no-brainer choice for education. Problem is, until it builds in some of the functionality Bryan refers to above, it won't. I know Userland isn't in this just for the education market (however big or small that may be,) but whatever educators finally end up adopting HAS TO HAVE the security and preview functionality to appease an ever more skittish group of administrators and parents (at least at my school, which I'm starting to think is leading the way in that department.)Problem (?) is I feel like I'm pretty much married to Manila for at least the next couple of years...
