Things have been a bit slower here the last couple of days -- I had minor elective eye surgery yesterday under general anesthetic, and it knocked me out pretty well. It seems to have been a success, had some problems with the retina in my left eye, still a bit wiped out from the experience, but overall feeling pretty well. Nothing like the surgery I had in 2002.

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
