« Ongoing »

Another interesting post by Tim Bray, who has rapidly become one of my favorite writers in blogland. So far, I've enjoyed every one of his essays, especially this one, this one, and particularly this one.
RSS Needs Fixing. There are two big problems with RSS that aren't going away and are just going to have to be fixed to avoid a train-wreck, given the way this thing is taking off. They are first, what can go in a <description>, and second, the issue of relative URIs.

Hey Don, thanks for the linkage and the nice words. BTW, it's spelled "SOAPscope", without the space. ;-)

On the blog authoring/publishing front, MT is still the front-runner, but the other one that I'm looking at is a spiffy beast called Textpattern. It's younger than MT, and therefore doesn't (yet) have the community and third-party plugin support that MT has, but it's PHP (which I'm more experienced with than Perl), and it had some very nice authoring capabilities, including a cool formatting tool called Textile.

On the aggregator front, still playing with AmphetaDesk. Morbus does a great job supporting his software. I've got a correspondence going with him, maybe it will lead to a solution to the memory issue.

I spent my drive in this morning listening to one of my favorite new CDs, "100th Window" by Massive Attack. What a fine album (yeah, I'm old enough to still call them that).
