05/24 Discovering RSS feed URLs — Scoblebemoans the fact that folks aren’t all using the XML Icon, and he cites Random Bytes.  (Lucky Random Bytes for being mentioned by Scoble. As they say in Holleywood, you can say anything you like about me, just as long as you spell my ...
05/21 Fair Use of Share-your-OPML? — One of the core goals of BlogBridgeis to give a newbie a quick and delicious taste of the world of blogs. One of the very first steps of course is to decide what feeds to follow. Other blog readers come with an initial set of feeds built in or offer the user to pick fro...
05/20 BlogBridge – Major progress! — This is getting interesting. In the last few weeks we’ve added a bunch of new features and we are now in the final stabilization of this release to make it suitable as a beta. While it is still way less featurefull than for example FeedDemon, we do have some very neat wrinkles that others don’t have. Try it!
05/18 Words DO matter — I was scanning Jon Udell’s blog and came across the following: “Plog is a brand-new word that’s even uglier (if possible) than blog. But the words don’t matter*. What’s striking is how the art of storytelling — our instinctive human way of mak...
05/17 Still can learn more,,, — If you are doing Java programming, check out Hardcore Java by Robert Simmon Jr. It’s a idiosyncratic tour through many very interesting advanced Java topics. My wife who sees another Java book sprout on my table every week wonders why it’s taking me so long to learn this “Java” thing 🙂
05/17 Moving from Radio to Movable Type — I’ve seen some discussionon the issues related to changingblog infrastructure from one system to another. In my case, I moved from Radio to Movable Type. My experience is that is was pretty easy to move the data (no data lock in) but the problem was the urls. Even if you take steps to make sure that the root url doesn’t change, the individual post and archive urls will probably change which means that anyone linked to your blog before will stay linked to your old blog and so you will experience a disruption in your traffic.
05/14 BlogBridge – coming along! — It’s been quiet but we’ve been busy. We are getting ready to put up a major new revision of BlogBridgewith goodies such as drag and drop of Channels, Collapse/Expand groups of articles, based on age, Next Unread processing, a bunch of new User Preferences. Also we are doing a bit of a reorganization of this site. The ‘Tasks’ page has become a nuisance to maintain and really not that useful, so it’s gone. And the Specs page is being totally revised to be more useful. Expect lots of additions to the Specs page as we move into another phase of development. Keep those cards and letters coming in!

05/11 Had enough yet? — Hard to believe what we are hearing these days, isn’t it? The link is to an summary about the Prison scandal, with lots of links to other reputable publications, putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
05/10 Decentralization, again… — Remember when the Berlin wall came down and the Soviet Union ended up breaking up? People talked about the power of decentralizaiton, about how simple faxes were used by individual Soviet citizens to tell the world what was going on and topple the ultimate centralized power? Or the impact of th...
05/08 [GEEK] Bootclasspath — In order to debug a hairy problem, I need to step into some Java system classes (hashmap.java) HashMap.class is to be found in rt.jar, part of the standard Java distribution (1.4.2_04) but it does NOT have debug info compiled in. So what to do? I think I did a pretty exhaustive set of steps but I w...
05/08 Programming Esoterica — As I delve into programming esoterica, in the past I’ve written down little handy items of information that I discover through a lot of work, for possible future reference. 6 months later, the details will have escaped me, and so I have my written notes to refer back to. Well, I thought, why not use...
