I got an email from my friend Chad noting that you can point LiveJournal at an RSS feed, it’ll consume it, and make it into a LiveJournal. Someone’s gone and done it. Cool, and I’m flattered. Of course, if you’re reading this on LJ, you should come over to the live site and experience the [...]
Credit where credit’s due. The Halloween theme you saw earlier was inspired by today’s Dive Into Mark. It was easy to do because like Mark, I use CSS for layout and presentation. Three changes to CSS files, and the site had its costume on.
Update: Tony’s agreed to the wager. My forfeit is now $20 if the Angels sweep. So it’s a SF/LA series. Giants versus Angels. P2P versus the RIAA. Wine versus The Mouse. Software versus Hollywood. Liberals versus Conservatives. Tony says the Angels will sweep the Giants. Feh. He says the Giants’ pitching staff is overrated. Feh. [...]
So I say, “throw caution to the wind and change wireless providers, and lets get a Danger Research Hiptop while we’re at it.” Join the early adopters at the Hiptop Communal Blog. Update: I ended up returning it in the two week grace period.
Grrr… my panel on Weblogs at ConJose is scheduled against the panel on Scottish Socialist SF, the Crypto/Privacy/Big Brother panel with Vinge/Scheider/Daniels, and Stan Robinson’s kaffeklatch. All those fine items at once. You’d think it was WisCon. So if you skip my panel, you have a good excuse. So somebody better blog those other panels.
If you tried to send me mail earlier this morning, or last night and you received a terse “Returned mail: see transcript” bounce message, you’ll need to send it again. I managed to screw-up my local delivery configuration. Mind you, if some sub-human entities didn’t send herbal viagra, and Nigerian/Spanish-prisoner scams… I wouldn’t have to [...]
Nothing new today, sorry. Today was the user launch of an XML-based content management tool which ate the last three months of my life. I came home and bathed the cat, washed the dishes, and now I’m going to watch el Hazard.
I put up some of my WisCon photos on my iTools site. And there’s a sort of a trip report on Ozone Broadcasting.
I gave in and saw the doctor today. She listened to the wheezing coming from my chest and immediately prescribed an antibiotic, and two inhalers. At least I’m back to work this week. I’ll be at Apple’s WWDC on-and-off as my schedule allows. I’m still looking at Bento, and thinking about implementing it with XSLT. [...]
Wow, this is one from the referer logs. I just discovered that the GPL’ed source for this WebLog has been adapted by a member of the Indian Parliament, Suresh Prabhu, the Union Minister for Power, to run a catalog of development projects. Pretty cool, and kinda flattering. And just goes to show you how this [...]
I spent part of the afternoon (hey, it was raining) working through Dave Babbit and Dave Winer’s implementation of the Radio Driver for reading the XML feed published by Macromedia, and built one of my own. I learned quite a bit about how you handle XML tables in Frontier. This aggregator reads the extended XML [...]
Several friends have pointed out a snippet about my previous company from PC Magazine’s 20th Anniversary issue: April 24, 2001 2Roam’s wireless development tool is chosen as our Editors’ Choice. Within a few months, the company went out of business. It’s at the bottom of the article.
Ooot greets to Friday Five fen. If you came here from Smattering to find the Friday Five answers, you need to go to Ozone Broadcasting. In a more sophsticated world, I’d be handling that transparently…
