I'm exploring Archipelago ... still looking for a tools that allow me to edit Radio blog post outside the browser. To be honest, Safari makes things easier ... faster!
11:20:46 PM
|

Now when I use Safari with Radio, things get really fast. It seems to have a very good rendering engine for tables!
COOL!

I have to admit, things were still working. I had trouble upstreaming my pages (though they are not very big and I run on a 1MB connection), radiocomment blocked everything at one point in time (I switched to radiocomments2 -- cos there were no commented items).

 Louis Cipher wonders if Weblogs.Com will survive the blogging frenzy during the Steve Jobs keynote at MacWorld in San Francisco at 9AM today. It did last year. But the network is bigger this year. I guess the answer is we'll find out later today. [Scripting News]

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):
Ripple \Rip"ple\, n.
1. The fretting or dimpling of the surface, as of running
water; little curling waves.
2. A little wave or undulation; a sound such as is made by
little waves; as, a ripple of laughter.
3. (physics) a small wave on the surface of water or other
liquids for which the driving force is not gravity, but
surface tension.
4. (Electrical engineering) the residual AC component in the
DC current output from a rectifier, expressed as a
percentage of the steady component of the current.

Just a thought crossing my mind ...
The web used to be woven "manually", meaning each and everyone referring to each and everyone, but the user would need to actually click on a link in a browser for anything to happen. But now in the times of XML-RPC, we do not need users any longer to let information flow and generate hits, a lot of stuff is just happening automatically in the background ...
If we start weaving the net together with XML-RPC calls that just happen without any user interaction, we may create an uncontrollable beast, a chaotic system. First there will just be small RPC-ripples flowing through the net and dying away causing minor nuisances and interruptions. But one day THE RIPPLE(tm) will overstep the threshold to chaotic system behaviour and the net will just be busy updating itself.

I guess during the keynote everyone will be blogging away like crazy. What does that mean? Blog servers like blogspot.com and radio.weblogs.com (and/or their respective backend servers such as blogger.com for blogspot and xmlstorage for radio) will see enormous traffic either during the keynote or right after (each and everyone blogging about impressions). But thats only one thing!
The common exchange system which we all "ping" will be exposed to something like a DoS attack from bloggers all over the world: weblogs.com.
Will that be bloggings first defeat?
There have been relatively few major events since blogging has been growing exponentially. If you remeber the "Internet Crash" on 9/11 (CNN having to post a bare-bones static homepage), what will happen if not only the Mac community has something to blog about, but just everyone? Say ... a major crisis in Irak?
