Drupal
URLs are what matter.
You know, I’ve realized that the only thing that’s really important to me is meticulous control over my url-space. That’s the only thing that really matters. As long as your URLs stay constant, you can rip out your backend as many times as you want and it doesn’t matter. So, I [...]

Thanks Dean; More to Think About
Thanks to Dean for responding to my remarks.
By the way, I certainly wasn’t calling Dean to task in my earlier remarks. Sure it was a bit of a challenge. And I was legitimately curious. Sure it was a little name dropping. It’s funny–in the blogosphere, you can do that, and the person on the other [...]

A conversation at Dean
Even though Mark Pilgrim agrees with Joe Clark that blogging is talking at someone rather than with someone, this statement is for Dean.
With recent recognition, how will you use the spotlight? Any particular causes that you would like to pursue/promote? With the recent clamour over the need for Christian web services, the season is right to start [...]

My Feature Request for Syndirella
Another problem is feed update error handling…I’ll need to make sure that fatal errors (like 404 errors) are reported as message boxes and not as status bar notiications. [yole's devblog]
One thing I noticed is that, behind a proxy server, I couldn’t find a way to specify credentials for background updating.

Quite the Celebrity lately…
Dean Peters of blogs4God will be guest-blogging for Joshua Claybourn on Thursday. He has also had recent mentions in Christianity Today related to the Bible Gateway API, etc.
I’m sure, as is probably true with most innovators, the outcomes of initiative can never be predicted or anticipated. Yet, this is exactly what can happen when someone [...]

BottomFeeder
James Robertson pointed me to BottomFeeder - another free news aggregator currently on the market. The interesting part about BottomFeeder is that it is written in Smalltalk, which is not quite a common language nowadays.

Textile is still in the mix
I have just upgraded to MovableType 2.6, and installed Brad Choate’s MTTextile plugin. This is a test of the Textile formatting.
I love bulleted lists. I hate entering HTML by hand.
WYSIWYG would be even better, but Textile is better than raw HTML.
I wonder if tools like w.bloggar could support it.
[yole's devblog]
Textile sounds more and more [...]

Good bits here
An important achievent today: My.Yandex, the only RSS syndication service in the Russian Internet that I’m aware of (maybe the only one that exists), now exports its list of feeds in the OPML format. This is especially exciting because this finally makes Syndirella useful for Russian users…
So tomorrow I’ll implement my part of the agreement [...]

Call me crazy, but I’m not yet wild about wiki
I just don’t get it yet. Maybe I still have a while to explore personally managed content, but wiki just doesn’t make sense to me. Oh, well. Maybe when I have the time, I will explore the cultural aspects of it.
Yeah, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. But it’s not really on my radar [...]
