Now that I know I can post to my weblog remotely, I am ready to write something that will let me write posts and send them. It is really going to be cool.

Oh my god I did it. That last post was sent from REALbasic using MetaWeblog API. A couple of notes. I'm sure Dave and the gang know this stuff cold, but we could really use some good examples of all of this stuff in action. I have to pour over all of the various specs to get an idea how to form a correct XML request. I even used the error responses I got back from the server as examples. The RPC2 server responds in XML and that turned out to be what I needed to figure out exactly how to form a element.
Also, authentication basically sucks. I didn't really know how bad it was until I got into this. Every time I post to my remote server my password flies across the internet in clear text. And I thought I was going to have to understand how to authenticate when I connected. I have to authenticate when I'm going to my desktop website remotely. But I don't have to do that when I send a post request. Perhaps it would superfluous, as you do have to send the username and password as part of the XML request. But couldn't the password, at least, be sent base64. That's not really any better, I guess, but it would hide things a little.

UserLand just announced Radio Community Server 1.0 and the price is quite a shock:
Perhaps this requires clarification. ;->
1. You can run RCS in either environment. No serial number, no registration. It's free.
2. $0.00.
3. You get updates every 24 hours as available, as if it were a commercial product.
Wow. That is about the coolest thing I've ever heard. I want to get it and set it up myself. Which is, of course, their evil plan :)

Linking and outlining over the Internet. This is the start of something big. [Scripting News]
Dave is priming the pump for his big OPML announcement. I'm sticking with my prediction that it is a collaborative outline. What that means is that the outline lives on a server. It can have multiple contributors. I'm not sure exactly how you'd handle access rights. Presumeably you wouldn't want everbody to be able to roam all over the entire outline making changes willy-nilly.
Of course, an online outline would be great for just one person as well. I'd love to have an outline that I could get to from anywhere. An outline is a great way to store information. I know somebody that has their entire life in one outline.

My last post never made it up to the cloud, for some reason. I see in an error in my Events. Maybe this post will get things going. Also, my comments don't have the little comment counter on them. Just the parens. Looks kinds funky.
