Discussion Group: XMLizing Folders?

A cute little demo script that could become a core verb if there were a standard way to walk a folder structure via HTTP.

Tomorrow's demo script will load a folder of ThinkTank files into Frontier's outliner, over HTTP using XML. How's that for connecting the past with the future!

Microsoft response to the leaking of the "Halloween memos".

Dan Gillmor: Connecting Coke machines with HTTP. A Coke machine doesn't need a web browser, it needs an HTTP client. There's a world of difference. An HTTP client doesn't come with all the FUD and posturing. It's a really simple protocol.

For example, Frontier has a verb, tcp.httpClient, which connects scripts to HTTP servers. Including comments, it's 241 lines of code. Not much room for FUD there!

Discussion Group: How XML-RPC will evolve.

NY Times: At the White House, relief and elation. Before the Presidential lying scandal passes into history, perhaps the electorate, the voters, want to consider the implications for future presidencies. Where is the line? What will we allow Presidents to lie about? Do we have any philosophy or vision for our leaders?

PC WEEK: Sun could terminate Microsoft's Java contract.

The Talking Moose is back! Mac OS only.
