O'Reilly's XML-RPC book is announced. I wrote the foreword. "XML-RPC turns the Internet itself into a scripting environment, much as Visual Basic turned Windows into a scripting environment, or AppleScript turned the Macintosh OS into one. It makes our worlds come together, makes the bigger world smaller and more approachable. And it's inclusive, no one need be left out of the XML-RPC revolution." New features for Radio offer integration with the Windows file system browser. If you right-click in the Explorer, you can create a new OPML document, and you can edit text files with the Radio outliner directly from the desktop. Types supported include text and HTML files, Python and Perl scripts, C and C++ source code and header files. Edge Side Includes is a "simple markup language used to define Web page components for dynamic assembly and delivery of Web applications at the edge of the Internet." Here's the spec. I'm so happy that Andre is coming to Amsterdam! Andrea's coming too. Maybe I should bring some spicy noodles? They have takeout at Jing Jing.  It's really funny, I got an urge to call a Seattle radio station and offer some advice for the Mariners. I suggested that they trade for hitting. I took the response on the air, and then realized that since I'm in California I couldn't hear the darned response. I wonder if Brent was listening.  A poignant 2001 moment on the Internet. Jfleck: My Lunch at Eazel. "He led me next door, to the former Jiffy Lube that had been converted to slick new office space based on what now seems like pathetic optimism that Eazel would be growing, growing." Register: "Apple may be planning to break into the enterprise server market with a new rack-mount model based on the next major release of Mac OS X Server." We like this because we have a product that makes total sense on a server and it runs on Mac OS X. The Register article goes on to say that Apple may have trouble differentiating their product from other Unixes that can be rack-mounted. If there are any strategic-minded Apple people tuned in, one easy way to differentiate is that Mac OS X is the only Unix that runs Manila. An interesting thread on the reallySimpleSyndication mail list about HTML markup in RSS item description elements. This is noteworthy because we're getting off the personality issues and doing real work related to the format and how it's being used by different authors. Progress. Newsfeeds: "The grandfather of all other Linux publications finally syndicates." Lance comments on "turbo journalism."
