Amen. I’ve always found it irritating that news aggregators insert their URL into the referrer field. … It would be nice if there was some sort of browser header the aggregator could send to identify itself instead of using the referrer field. Oh, that’s right, there is. It’s called User-Agent.
The user agent field is [...]

I couldn’t resist a bit of tinkering with NNTP, partly to follow up a little bit myself on RSS to/via NNTP, but mostly in fact to re-acquaint myself with the wonderfully arcane configuration of the majestic beast that is inn .

And one more post for the night: I wish Safari gave AppleScript access to read and manipulate bookmarks. If it does, I can’t find it. I’ve been playing around with AppleScript folder actions, Matt Webb’s link blogging folder hack, and BlogScript. I’ve been thinking, for good or bad, I’d like to [...]

Have I mentioned lately that I ♥ BeanShell for Java?
I haven’t said much about it lately, but I’m still working on my PersonalWebProxy – only this time I’m playing with Java and all the goodies I was wishing for while in Python. I’ve got Jena and Lucene and HSQL and BSF and Quartz and [...]
