Paolo, my main Italian host, tells me that his schedule gets all whacked out when I'm in Europe. He expects to see the first new post on Scripting News in the mid-late afternoon. But when I'm in Europe, the first post comes in the morning. Not quite jetlag -- bloglag? I guess things are all sorted out and back to normal for my buddy Paolo, cause it's approx 4PM there now as I boot up, pre-coffee, eyes still fuzzy. Buon giorno!

"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.
