It’s just data

Pic from blogger meetup

miguel+dare+joshua Many people had digital cameras at the blogger dinner. Mine was low on batteries, so I had to run out and pick some up halfway through the event and didn't get many pictures, and most of what I did get was the victim of poor lighting. However, many people had cameras, so there should be plenty of pictures posted shortly.

Meanwhile, here's one that did turn out: Miguel de Icaza sells Dare Obasanjo and Joshua Allen on Mono.


Blogger Meetup @ Crossroads!

I made it! As promised, this blog entry is for people to trackback, pingback, comment on, etc...

More later...


New ApacheBlogger discovered

Steven Noels: Isn't it fun when you find a new weblogger? Hi, Leo!

Cool! Subscribed.


You Know Me

Eric Sigler: I give you: mtfoaf-0.1.tar.gz - A working version of a MT FOAF plugin.

Pretty cool. Eric's comment system has a "You Know Me" button and will import data from your FOAF profile. Furthermore the address of the foaf profile is retained for later exploitation (e.g. authentication of requests to modify entries?). My two cents is that autodiscovery is the next important step as I'm not convinced that entering the URL of your FOAF profile is any easier than entering the URL of your website.

As soon as I return from travelling, I plan to catch back up, implement this on my site and resume my status as early adopter/exploiter


Funny numbers

Joshua Allen: but Apache's heavy dependence on BigCo funding (IBM, Sun, etc.) kind of disqualifies them and spoils the romance.
