It is in the building… not only that, it is on my desk.
“It” is a brand new Apple XServe, and soon will be home to all of our MT blogs as well as hosting some experimental eportfolio services as well.
“It” is a 1.3 GHz screamer replacing an old 500 MHz PIII currently hosting this “jade” server. The server is slim and sleek, though quite a bit deeper (like 2 pizza boxes!) than one might guess just looking at the pictures.
With all this east coast blogging about snow and blizzards and stuff (1 blogger, 2 blogger, 3 blogger, more?) I hate to tell you but today it was sunny and about 78 degrees in the Arizona desert. We spent a day in t-shirts strolling the Tempe Festival of the Arts, a fantastic showing of arts, […]
Satire is a high form of art. (that was supposed to be satirical). Someone once told me, and I believed them, that satire comes from an ancient word that meant “to cut flesh.” Well, that means that DENOUNCE NEWSWIRE: All the news that never happened is the king fleshcutter for faked PR news:
Go ahead, try and pronounce it… Blizg – The Blog Resource. Blizg is a blog index that focuses on metadata. We want to promote the use of metadata in the blogging community. We’re also excited about finding new ways to use metadata that will create useful connections between and among blogs. It does offer a […]
Just posted to the web is our newbie article “Pssss… Have You Heard About RSS?”. This is one of the features in the Fall 2003 issue of our mcli Forum, a twice a year publication published by our office for print distribution inside our college system, and electronic everywhere else (continuously published since October 1992-200 as the Labyrinth-Forum and since then as the mcli Forum).
It’s about a 2.5 month process for our office to draft, assemble, proof, edit, and get this off to the printers– and it is about 2 days of HTML-izing to get the web version up. This is actually one of my more favorite web layouts, and while I reallly should get around to doing it fully with modern XHTML, I really like it’s look as a HTML table/CSS hybrid.
But about that RSS stuff-
Yet another small fix to our RSS to Javascript tool— there was a flaw in (my) program logic so that the item posting dates from RSS2.0 feeds were not being converted correctly from their GMT+0 values. If you have a version of this running, you can make a direct edit to both the rss2js.php and […]
Cue the folk music, Pete… Where have all the bloggers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the bloggers gone? Long time ago. Where have all the bloggers gone? Spammers have picked them ev’ry one. Oh, when will you ever learn? Oh, when will you ever learn? My RSS reader stays pretty grey these days. […]
I thought I really had nailed a blog spammer by tracking down the internet provider, documenting, and submitting all the information to the appropriate abuse contact. What I got in return was zilch.
Why would an internet provider protect me from spammers? They might be paying customers and I am not.
An artlcle and links from University of British Columbia’s e-Strategy newsletter (no RSS!) features some interesating tools developed at the UBC Arts ISIT.
<tiphat>Tip of the blg hat to my colleague Michelle, who has one of the funkier blog names for an educator 😉 </tiphat>
You gotta like the fun photos of the tool creators on the news story.
Ignore this! I am testing Aaron’s RSS to Email Aggregator, which should be able to send me RSS via email from selected blogs (in case this one). More details later if the experiment works, but I have to post a new message to see if I get the email update. I am sure that no […]
