Re: Worst RSS and Atom article ever
As you may have guessed, I support Atom. But I am distressed when Atom (and RSS) are represented so poorly as in the article that Phil rips apart. What got a chuckle out of me was this line of Phil's:
If you are creating your own RSS feed by continually scraping your own HTML, you really need to fire your entire IT staff.
If this is representative of their current quality I'm glad I let my subscription to New Scientist lapse.
Of course, Dave Winer has to follow that up with his own potshot at Atom:
... it's totally clear now that Atom is no more "open" than RSS is.
The only thing I saw in there that suggested any such thing was a quote from Winer himself.

Resin author blogging
Resin is still my favorite "servlet engine", so I'm glad to see Scott Ferguson blogging.

Re: Public Exposure
Rather than displaying my "ignore words" on this page I created a Veloci-Page to list them in XML. This is one short step in sharing this list.
Because I'm actually pulling this data from a field not meant for sharing, I cannot add the things that would make it useful, such as a LastModified timestamp (which would inform you if you need to update your information). But this does get us on the way towards something like MT-Blacklist ( Comment Spam clearinghouse) and Blam!.
Post your suggestions as comments, please.

Re: "J" Is A Four-Letter Word
Memo to all developers of would-be successful applications that happen to be implemented in Java: stop calling your app JWhatever. [Mr. Feinberg]
Can they end with a J?

Public Exposure
I'm playing with the idea of publicizing my list of ignored referers. This is a list of words to check against referers, if the word/phrase is found in the referering url then the referer is just "Direct". Am I helping these Spammers by publicizing my list? Even though it doesn't include their URL? Or am I simply boosting my Google rank for these words (lord help me)?
