Boston Bloggers Dinner ... The Verdict

Just plain outstanding.  More later but I'm hugely glad I went.  Where else can you meet and talk with:

• Christopher Lydon
• Dave Winer
• Doc Searls
• And others (like 25 people showed up).

Recommended.  I'll try and make the next one for sure.

Wanted: Example PHP Code for Retrieving Documents from the New York Times

I'm working up an interesting Feedster application for auditing New York Times articles and correlating them with blog postings about them.  Only problem is that damn NY Times login screen.  I've got all the code to feed the damn thing my login cookie but it just don't work no how.  If anyone out there has done this then I'd like to know.  Thanks in advance.

This is, of course, inspired by Glenn Reynolds and Dave.

Oh and the funny thing is that it took me more time to muck about with the NY Times security model than it did to write the Feedster part of it.  Sigh.

Anyone Else Going to the Boston Bloggers Dinner?

Sleepy today -- was up with Rackspace early, early, early dealing with "Make the server happier with more and more RAM".  Even so I hope to get to the Blogger's Dinner.
