The Blog
31 Aug 2001 I'm now getting indexed by Google. What's interesting about this is that I changed robots.txt to let the bots in. I then got linked by Scripting news. Google watch his site closely because of the large number of links both too and from his site. Now Google watches mine as well.
[ 31-Aug-01 8:06pm ] I've been working with newsisfree to build regex scrapers that will turn various websites into rss. Recently added are:-
[ 31-Aug-01 6:37pm ] RedHerring.com | Catch of the Day: Peer-to-peer pressure : Cache-sharing should eventually end up inside operating systems (and P2P companies will get purchased for this). The long-term proposition is to run the huge real-time service that helps machines find data in others' caches. This is a natural OS business extension, so guess which company is likely to get into this business? At last a P2P business plan... get bought by Microsoft!

[ 31-Aug-01 8:08am ] XP Final Cracked XP is barely finalized and already there are hacks to turn it into the corporate, no nag, no timelimit version. The real story here is that software copy protection turns us all into criminals because it's unworkable. We fought all these battles in the mid 80s, why do we have to go and fight them all again.
[ 31-Aug-01 8:01am ] 29 Aug 2001 RSSify - RSSify "takes your web page and turns it into RSS 0.92." [Scripting News] So despite my thinly veiled blog-dissing, I've been Scripting News-ed (there's got to be a better neologism than that). That should push up the hit rate.
[ 29-Aug-01 8:11pm ] Isn't it time The Doc got on the Cluetrain? He's producing hideous and broken RSS from his Manila based blog. And now Dastardly Dave is doing it as well.

Online journalism is even worse than offline for regurgitating press releases and analysis comment. Here's a few sound bites. [ 29-Aug-01 2:32pm ] What do you call a Blog Jounalist? A Blogalist?
Today's CD, Morcheeba - Back to mine
27 Aug 2001 There's a group of people in a via web that have created a new term. Blognosing.
I think we need a contrast to this so I'm inventing an alternative. Blog-Dissing. Remember, you read it here first. [ 27-Aug-01 8:02pm ] On one side we have Dave W saying "I did some writing over the weekend about Web Services, and realized that the term is vague, and it probably isn't what we do. I couldn't make it work. We already had a good term that explains why we have been investing in SOAP and XML-RPC, and I think we'll stick with it." and on the other we have Web Services Org with "GLUE Web Services Platform goes into Production"
There's something going on here in the TLA soup of SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, ebXML but some days, I'm not at all sure what. [ 27-Aug-01 7:56pm ] Captured 'vampire' hogs TV limelight - AUG 25, 2001 : SABAK BERNAM (Selangor) - A bomoh, who claims that he has caught a shape-changing 'vampire' the size of two tennis balls near a cotton tree, made prime-time television and Malaysian newspaper reports yesterday. How very Fortean. It looks like a large ball of cotton wool in a jam jar.
[ 27-Aug-01 7:32pm ] 25 Aug 2001 'Parasitic grid' wireless movement may threaten telecom profits What if you combine 802.11b with the old ideas in the Fido network. Fido was a BBS system that used free local calls to build a daisy chain of replicated nodes across the USA and beyond. Could you build a WAN from 20 mile 802.11b hops? How big could this get?
At one end of the spectrum we have a hoard of programmers hacking away, linking Blogger, Jabber, WAP, Manila and anything else they can think of into a web of intersections. These are all web services and use an RPC protocol. It was launched into action when Blogger did an API in XML-RPC
At the other end of the spectrum we have the B2B folks trying to track what on earth MS and IBM are up to. This attracted 300 people to an almost ad-hoc meeting this week in SF. Report from 'The State of Web Services' event Are these two things related? Or will the two groups just pass each other like ships in the night? I've been convinced since the end of last year that web services and RPC via XML is incredibly important. I just wish everyone would stop being so hung up on whether Passport is going to take over the web and get back to trying to understand what an XML RPC standard means and what we can do with it.
