Okay, so that thing with the SQL I did Friday?
I’m not exactly sure what I was thinking with it. I was doing something
that seems really odd now, trying to collect counts of new items together
by hour, then averaging those hourly counts across a week. Instead, I’m
trying this now:
SELECT
source,
‘update_period’ AS [...]

I would like to propose, nay, admonish, that the name of the format and spec
should be Atom, that the current naming vote should be killed, and we should
move on to grander things without the auspices of “what’s it called?!” over
our heads. This has been going on far too long.

Then it pays attention to what items I read, in what order, or if not, then what feeds I scan, and for how long. The results are packaged up in an attention.xml file and shipped via some transport (RSS, [...]

Okay, I may be the last person fiddling with Flash to
discover this, but here’s what I’ve learned today:

cannot be loaded dynamically and will not display when using the
loadMovie action.”
This would have been [...]

Some folks are experimenting with using Wiki to build websites. I particularly like what Matt Haughey did with PHPWiki and a bit of CSS magic dust. Looks nice, eh? [Via Seb's Wikis are Ugly? post at Corante]
Janne Jalkanen’s Wiki-based Weblog is interesting too. Hmm. Maybe blog API(s) can be used [...]

Or maybe it’s time to release our own Defender.A worm which could invasively close down the relevant “holes” in Internet security. A defensive worm could use standard intrusion tactics for benign result. For example, it could worm it’s way into Windows XP computers and get the owner’s permission to turn their firewalls on. It could [...]
