Listened to a few really good podcasts today…
I’ve written about wanting this, but today I cobbled together an experimental podcast of the Dr. Demento Show for myself using cron, brag, and dirCaster on an old iBook-turned-server at home. It’s password protected (which works in iTunes, by the way), probably short-lived, certainly not condoned by [...]
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was a bit busy this weekend while being sick on the couch. In this post, I’ll ramble a bit about my server-side dabbling. Cutting to the chase, here’s an XSLT filter implemented as WSGI middleware:

Now you can apply XSLT magic to your REST APIs, like [...]
Okay, okay, I’ll admit it: I’m an architecture astronaut. I’d join Architecture Astronauts Anonymous–but that’d be AAA, and we already use them for our car insurance. Anyway, here’s my current trip into orbit:

If you click on that, you should see a page with a large textarea appear, in which a running log of tests [...]
Okay, so I finally got the second of today’s demos running on the server here. Take a look at this chunk of a shell transcript:

One of the first things this should show is just how great cURL can be for testing REST-based web services. The second thing you should see is the web [...]
Testing, testing–is this thing on? Well, I do have to say that I’ve recovered rather well from the “stroke” last week. Things have been pretty busy since then, so I haven’t had much of a chance to blather any more around these parts.
However, in the spirit of a few recent experiments, I have [...]
So, this weekend, I suffered a sort of minor stroke in my exocortex. The girl and I left for a bit to get food on Saturday afternoon and, when we got back, I found my PowerBook making grinding / growling noises from the general vicinity of its hard drive. A reboot or two [...]
Another little test, this time trying to build something like a Treemap, using CSS and semantic HTML.
The above image is an example of what I’m trying to go for. Here’s a sample of what I’ve got:

Two things I can’t seem to work around with my understanding of CSS:
Is there a way to clear the [...]
Update: A nice mention and ensuing discussion of this has appeared with this article at Lambda the Ultimate. I’ve killed trackback here due to spam, so I’m tossing this in manually.
It’s been awhile since I really sat down and tried knocking something out in the browser with JavaScript / DHTML. There was that [...]
