Conferences?

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2004 05:00:00 +0000

So now that I’m out on my own, I’ll be going to some conferences eventualy (once there’s more money in the bank).

So what conferences does everyone attend, and what’s your opinion on them all?

Compatibility of Weblogs and ISSN

admin — Fri, 26 Sep 2003 04:00:00 +0000

Compatibility of weblogs and ISSN is an article that hits it home. ISSN numbers are much like the ISBN that is used for books. ISSN is for periodicals, and his blog has had one for a year or so (see it up there at the top?). Many other blogs wuch as Zeldman have had them much longer.

Apparently though, the people that take care of the ISSN numbers in the US (ISSN is a multi-national deal) have been denying weblogs a number for various reasons.

Personally, I think they’re afraid they may run out of numbers.

Read the article, and get the skinny.

HTTP Methods

Mr. Gregorio brings back to my attention that HTML doesn’t support all of the verbs that are specified in the HTTP 1.1 Specification

This has been driving me nuts for YEARS! I hate having to make input buttons that use javascript to change a variable to determine what sort of action should be performed. It seems much more intuitive to me to use the HTTP verbs to do that — when updating a record in a database, using GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, POST, TRACE, CONNECT and I wish there was an UPDATE! Even if I had to change the action of the form, that would make much more sense to me than changing the value of an arbitrary input element.

It seems to me that this is how HTTP was intended, but it doesn’t appear that it has ever been implemented in HTML.

A missed opportunity.

Not Winer it’s Whiner.

Apparently Mr. Winer doesn’t understand how Mark’s script works. And i he really cared, he would do the right thing and simply not when he’s made a change, instead of trying to cover up his mistakes. Be a man. stand up to your own mistakes. If you want to change something other than spelling in your post, simply do something like:

Update (4:00pm): Added more information about blah.

See, is that so hard?

Tim Bray writes about some things he’d like to see in his aggregator. Funny, I created some templates for Aggie in 2002 that include many of the things that he’s looking for… Stocks, Weather…
