It’s just data
Rogers Cadenhead: My weblog’s Atom 1.0 feed is now online. As an experiment, I’m routing all RSS requests to this feed. I’m curious about whether aggregators can handle that. The RSS 2.0 code’s still around so I can offer both, but I’d prefer to offer a feed in one format so I avoid the need to debug two.
I’m following Rogers' lead, and have done the same with my remaining feeds.
Antonio Cangiano: I am well aware that there are not many Ruby jobs out there at the moment, so I consider myself lucky as I work with Ruby and Ruby on Rails on a daily basis at IBM.
Donald Ferguson: Calvin “ Silent Cal” Coolidge was also from rural New England. A newspaper reporter was going to the White House for a state dinner. She bet her editor that she could get Silent Cal to say more than three words to her at dinner. At dinner, she charmingly told the situation to Silent Cal. His response. “You lose.” My hero.
I remember a meeting in Austin, TX a few years back in which there were perhaps 80 or so people in a long and narrow room. Don positioned his chair sideways on the narrow edge nearest the door. At one point, he had something to add. As he began to speak, he was quickly interrupted with a request: “Could you speak up?”. Don paused for a second. His then responded with a “no”, whereupon he proceeded from the point where he had left off.
The “less code” and “simpler” memes are advancing from below. And from above. From the inside. As well as from the outside.
