This evening I'm working my way through the Road to RSS 2.0. I've done the global search and replace, fixing two instances of 0.94. Another remains, I need to generate a 2.0 sample. That will be today's Scripting News, Murphy-willing.  This afternoon I worked on a new table for the item sub-element of channel in RSS 2.0. Jon Gale asks what's sure to be a FAQ: "Why are you moving from 0.94 to 2.0? Why not 1?" Steve Gillmor issues a correction for his latest column. Ole Eichorn: "Although it has been under-reported, Apache 2.0 is significantly discontinuous (non-backward-compatible) with Apache 1.3." John Stanforth disagrees with his former boss, Ole Eichorn. He says that the discontinuities in Apache 2.0 were necessary performance improvements not just for Apache on Windows, on Unix as well. On this day in 1998, Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run, breaking Roger Maris's long-held record. Adam Curry had dinner with a Dutch member of Parliament, found out that the Dutch are going to back US in bombing Iraq with or without UN approval. Sjoerd Visscher, also from de Nederlands, says the new table in the RSS spec is a big improvement. I think so too. He suggests a way to pseudo-deprecate some of our least favorite elements without causing grief for our friends who are developers of RSS applications. Good. I'm glad we're thinking this way. Zero-based spec design is a good way to keep wonks employed and keep apps away. Come let's go baby, Le Jazz Hot maybe, it's holding my soul together. |
