W3C: XForms 1.0 Candidate Recommendation XForms Becomes a W3C Candidate Recommendation. 12 November 2002: W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of XForms 1.0 to Candidate Recommendation. Comments are welcome through 5 March 2003. More flexible than previous HTML and XHTML form technologies, the new generation of Web forms separates purpose, presentation, and data. Read the press release and testimonials and visit the XForms home page. (News archive) [The World Wide Web Consortium] XForms is cool: it's really time that they cleaned up the web forms mess. It's now as close as ever to being an official standard :-) 2:55:46 PM Google It!      comment []

OWL is used to publish and share ontologies on the Web. Read about the W3C Semantic Web Activity. (News archive) [The World Wide Web Consortium] I haven't read RDF specs in the past 2 years. With these 3 working drafts, I guess it's time to see what the W3C has been doing in the past few years. Maybe apps will start appearing now. Moreover, maybe it's time for me to think a cool app using these technologies. Russel B., it's a good time for you to start reading about this :-) 2:53:29 PM Google It!      comment []

IntelliJ IDEA: many java weblogger love it IntelliJ IDEA: the most intelligent Java IDE around. For those of you not using IDEA, can your IDE do all this? This page will introduce to you the most important features that appeared in IntelliJ IDEA, version 3.0. The more complete list of changes can be found in the Changes.txt file of your IntelliJ IDEA 3.0 installation directory. [rebelutionary] It's at least the 5th java weblog where I read flattering comments about IDEA. I need to look at that. In fact these days I don't use an IDE anymore: UltraEdit or vi depending on the platform I work on, and ant to handle the chores. 2:49:59 PM Google It!      comment []

Newsmonster is a java based news aggregator. It gathers updates from your favourite weblogs and any other sites that support RSS. Install from the browser is very slick. Too bad java really requires a hinking processor to perform best. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog] 2:04:12 PM      comment []

iBlog, a desktop blog on Mac Say Hello to iBlog. ... Good people making good software. That's what it's all about. [James Duncan Davidson] If I ever switch to mac I'll give it a try... but Radio satisfies my blogging needs already so I'll need convincing to switch. My only reason to drop Radio would be an open source desktop blog application, in Java or Mozilla (there's one pretty basic I think) where I could code. 2:02:09 PM Google It!      comment []
