DaveNet: Connecting with Blogger.

Frontier site: Glue that connects Blogger with UserLand scripting environments.

A sub-directory on XML-RPC.Com for Blogger scripting.

Editing a Blogger template in Radio's outliner.

Posting to Blogger in Radio's outliner.

Greg Pierce points out that Conversant has an XML-RPC interface that predates Blogger's. Let's give credit where credit is due. There's also a fantastic XML-RPC spell checker, and O'Reilly's Meerkat. What makes Blogger unique is that it's quickly driving developer and user adoption of XML-RPC. It's as close to a killer app as we're likely to get. There's already Python glue and Perl glue that connects with Blogger. There will be all kinds of connections. We'll continue to promote all web apps that support XML-RPC, and celebrate them, but Blogger getting on board is a BFD in XML-RPC-land.

We've received permission to run an excerpt from David Bank's Breaking Windows, pages 113-122. I'm working on the intro and digging through archives to find links related to the section we're running.

MIT Tech Review compares Zaplet and Groove.

Mark Pilgrim: "Groove is an overkill solution in search of a problem."

IBM thinks web services is about weird prosthetic devices. I prefer programming on the wire.

Wired: "A cultural icon from the early days of personal computing is making a comeback on Mac OS X."

Web Standards Project: "All we've asked Macromedia to do is ship Dreamweaver with the ability to create standards-compliant pages. It can't be that difficult; as you've seen, the technology is already there."

BBC Windows XP prepares to storm the desktop.

Register: Bill Gates spells out the future.

Salon: "Teen girls flash some skin on their 'cam sites,' and fans shower them with gifts. Who's exploiting whom?"
