Using the Mozilla SOAP API. With the release of Mozilla 1.0, the world now has a browser that supports SOAP natively. No longer do the tasks of assembling, executing, and handling SOAP operations fall solely on the server side. This article shows you how Web applications running in Mozilla can now make SOAP calls directly from the client without requiring a browser refresh or additional calls to the server.

As promised, here's the first draft of the RSS 0.94 spec. It's a consolidation of all the specs I've written over the last two years. A few new features, listed on the (new) change notes page. Please read the roadmap to see what comes after 0.94. I'm not looking for much feedback until next week, but of course if you like it, no need to wait to say that. ";->" [Scripting News]

I have my instant outliner going again. Radio users can subscribe using the OPML coffee mug on DHRB. The new thing is that notification happens via instant messaging, not polling. And there's something really new in there. A remote procedure invocation protocol. They are not remote procedure calls because they don't return values and are asynchronous. But you can pass parameters, complex ones, using the encoding of XML-RPC. It's the loop-close on the work we did in Keystone with the Jabber folk last August. Works with AIM too. We're bootstrapping on the Radio-Dev mail list. [Scripting News]

People who think Washington is going to pass big laws that will fuck up the Internet should read Ernie the Attorney's recommended legislative agenda for DC. It's funny but when you're finished rolling on the floor, give it some thought. The courts and a little civil disobedience can fix a lot of bad laws.

Tonight's first movie: Sadie McKee.
- All I do the whole day through is dream of you.
- And with the dawn I still go on and dream of you.
- You're every thought, every scheme, every dream I ever dreamed.
- Summer, winter, autumn and spring.
- And were there more than 24 hours a day,
- They'd be spent in sweet content dreaming away.
- When skies are gray, skies are blue
- Morning, noon and nighttime, too
- All I do the whole day through is dream of you.

Thompson: In case you'd like to know, Mr Bernstein, he's at the Huntington Memorial Hospital on 180th Street.
Bernstein: Why you don't say. I had no idea..
Thompson: There's nothing particular the matter with him, they tell me, just..
Bernstein: just. Just old age. It's the only disease, Mr Thompson, that you don't look forward to being cured of.

A sweet story about no-smoking, from Megnut:
 "About five years ago, a very dear friend of mine tried to quit smoking. I told him I would support him 100% and do what ever I could to help him resist the urge to light up.
"A few days after I made this promise, a group of us went out to the bar. We were all drinking and of course, many folks were smoking. Mike was tempted, but resisted. After another drink, his resistance started to wane, and I could tell. So for some reason, I jumped up and started doing a cheer, as if I were a cheerleader. I did that jump they do, where they kick out their legs and arms, and yelled, "there's Noooooooooo SMOKING!" in a cheerleader-like voice. Then I punch my arms in the air, with invisible pom-poms, and said, "No!" "Smoking" and then repeated it, several times over.
"Lots of people in the bar were staring, but it worked. Mike was laughing his ass off and put down the cigarette. From then on, it was our rallying cry. Whenever he wanted a cigarette, I'd lean over and tell him, 'there's NOOOOOOO smoking!'
"I'm sure this story tells better in real-life, when I can act out the cheers. But I share it nonetheless, because I wanted to sign off like this:
"There's noooooooo smoking,
-meg"
