It’s been one year since I
signed up for a JohnCompanies server,
and though I’ve had no complaints whatsoever, I’ve signed up for
a server instance with JVDS.com and have moved
just about everything over.
Why? Because it’s cheaper, and I have less disposable income these
days. And, well, it seemed like fun to try another virtual server

Remember my BookmarkBlogger? Well, I rewrote it in Python. For
a little while, I was making little apps in Java, wishing it were a
scripting language. I’ve stopped that now. Also, I’ve added the

After checking out Bill Humphries’ approach to scraping yesterday, I recalled the various things Jon Udell has written about URL-as-command-line and the various places I’ve seen the W3C XSLT Servlet used in XSLT tinkering. I also remembered that there’s an HTML Tidy service offered by W3C as well.
<p>So… these are all URLs. [...]

Continuing with making it easier for “Big Pubs” to create RSS feeds. I’m assuming that they have a publishing system, but it wasn’t built with RSS in mind, but they want on the bandwagon.Source: More Like This WebLog: Thursday, 21 August 2003 Using curl, tidy, and XSL to scrape content from HTML pages into an [...]

Let’s face it, email has become unuseable, the latest worm to strike is likely only the tip of the iceberg we’re about to collide with. I’ve never liked the metaphore of an ‘inbox’, certainly not one that fills up and can’t accurately be filtered.Source: Email is Dead, Long Live Email! I linked to [...]
