RSS zen

I haven't given enough thought to (or read about) what to do with respect to HTML and my RSS feed. Just now I seem to be doing the wrong thing by formatting things nicely as text, as would be rendered by a text-based browser such as lynx, because all the nice paragraph breaks disappear when displayed by something which interprets the <description> as HTML. Anyway, to the point, this means that the RSS feed has this:

I always thought telephones (the old fashioned kind, not mobiles) were
indestructible, but only rumour backed this up.

broken phone

I don't know what to think any more. On the one hand, they seem quite
destructible, and yet on the other, it still works.

weird brown plastic-wrapped block

Which is rather surreal. Of course, this entry quoting that will now also be in the feed... I could grow to fnord like the insertion of random phrases.

Notice that I use the usual weak meaning of the word "zen" when it is not entirely clear that something is zen-like.

What?

So what happened to Mr Incommunicado, you can't get upset cause you have to wait for phone calls when you have just told all not to contact. Hope exams going well.

Nono

<p>It's all right, it was something specific, which was worrying me. It's sorted now.</p>

Also

Did you attach that comment to an unrelated entry, or was there a bug in my system?

Colin

Ok

No it's where I meant to put it.

Helen is trying to get back!

Have to go for responces over all as have been in the depths myself with study. (Plus have not had time to get on line connection right after problems !) Like your order of study. I think it it is about assimilating knowledge as you go! I hope so for my final submission! Agree that in the war senario there is a time ( I feel a song wrong !) ...A time to heal...a time ...to do much, or to do so little... will no doubt unfold. I like you hold my breath and will see you soon, Helen
