IANA | MIME Media Types Mime types, miiiiime types. Get yer list o mime types here... "[RFC2045,RFC2046] specifies that Content Types, Content Subtypes, Character Sets, Access Types, and conversion values for MIME mail will be assigned and listed by the IANA." 3:57:25 PM    comment [] ongoing·Is This Thing On? Tim Bray talks about what he sees when he watches his access_log after announcing the availability of his weblog... "When you're watching the access_log, what's really remarkable is the steady pounding from the RSS aggregators. ongoing has been up a day and a bit, and as I watch this, I'm seeing maybe four or five hits a minute on the RSS feed. When you consider the number of sites out there with with RSS feeds, and the number of people who subscribe to a bunch of them, we're talking some pretty serious traffic here. Architecturally, this seems pretty dumb, and you have to worry whether or not it's going to scale. On the other hand, the architecture of the whole Web is pretty simple, more or less built to be as simple as possible without breaking. I wrote a note on this back in January, but now I have direct personal experience, and yes, Houston, we (potentially) have a problem." 12:35:08 PM    comment []
