bedeviled mojo slop

1. blojsom is essentially social software.
2. blojsim has been around almost as long blojsom. It's an add-on that allows you to blog to blojsom via Jabber or AIM.
3. Mark isn't busy enough at work so why not throw this out there again, and see if people start some RFEs for it

invisiblog.com lets you publish a weblog using GPG and the Mixmaster anonymous remailer network. You don't ever have to reveal your identity - not even to us. You don't have to trust us, because we'll never know who you are.

As part of the University at Albany's "Humanitech Semester," we seek papers that explore the cultural and theoretical issues that arise between the Humanities and Technology. How do the Humanities/Technology transform, supplement, or challenge each other? What forms of subjectivity or cultural practices emerge from their intersection? What theoretical or practical implications arise in areas that are affected by the intertwining of technology with social and cultural space?

UPDATE: The HumaniTech Conference Schedule is now online and it looks like I'm up at 10 AM. Looking at some of the other presentation topics, all I can say is "Wow ... just wow!"

I'm going to say that at this point I like Chronicle Lite more, but that's just because it's got all the nice HTML stuff in there, my blog categories are in a pull-down, and I think the author is going to add support for blosxom-style blogs where the title of your post is the first line of the blog entry

I mean, dizzle on that for a second and you'll understand that if someone is <jay-z>big pimpin' in b.l.o.j.</jay-z> your stuff then it's good to pimp back.

Aurora, build 813 is available at http://www.intellij.net/eap.

Changes in build 813 from 811:

Debugger. Next/Previous Frame buttons in Frame view (work by Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down as well). Editor. Ability to fold arbitrary selection (Ctrl-.). Editor. Smart paste into string literals (auotmatically escapes special symbols). Structure View. Ability to sort by visibility. Structure View/Project View. Deprecated symbols are striked out.

• Support for the Comment API
• Adding support for more of the Blogger API
• BlojsomFetcher: This is a good thing™. Adding support for this represented a lot of changes throughout the API, none of which you'll really notice except for the fact that there is now a more clean separation and abstraction of where blojsom will "fetch" its entries from. The interfaces and classes in the core API were also improved because of this new interface.

  So, what is the BlojsomFetcher interface? Well, I guess I wasn't really joking (even though I was at the time) when I said blojsom would be backed by a database in blojsom 1.8 and abandon the filesystem. The truth of the matter is that with the BlojsomFetcher interface, blojsom could be backed by a database, even though by default, it will not.

  Simply put, this interface abstracts where blojsom will retrieve its entries and categories. blojsom will by default ship with an implementation which retrieves categories and entries from the filesystem. You can imagine some scenarios like one in which someone writes a CachingFetcher that caches a set of entries for a particular request (making blojsom even faster than it is today) or a DatabaseFetcher which retrieves categories and entries from a database.

  

If Mark has time while he is waiting for jury duty tomorrow, he might get RESTLog support done , but that will probably be available in blojsom 1.9. Expect the "drop" of blojsom 1.8 this Friday!

CPRT is a technique for accurately measuring the response time of a Web service as perceived by clients. This resulting information about response time can be supplied to any agent on the Internet, including the service provider. CPRT data can be used to determine whether performance expectations are being met and whether additional resources (such as a more powerful server or a faster network connection) are needed. It can also be used to determine whether the service provider is abiding by a pre-defined service level agreement.

Update: Looks like javablogs.com is now happy with the last-modified update as well

Ariadna, build 700 is available at http://www.intellij.net/eap. The build is a release-candidate for OSX version of IDEA 3.x Changes in build 700 from 699 - OS X-related bugfixes

Well, I checked mine this AM and saw that our old pal Mike Cannon-Brookes, a true rebelutionary is getting back into the swing of the blogging thing with a brand new blog.

His suspected SARS episode may not be over however as he seems to be running MovableType. This could all be an elaborate hoax by the guys who brought you JIRA. Time will tell!

12 April 2003 - POI News Feed

You can now read your breaking POI news in more detail here or syndicate it through your favorite aggregator in one of your favorite syndication formats (0x0 0x1 0x2). Thanks to the excellent blojsom project for their great software!

To put things in Apache-esque terms, that's +1 for blojsom

And why is this?

Because no one has told these idiots that YOU DO NOT NEED THE FSCKING REVERB ON YOUR MICROPHONES SET TO 10! Jackasses!

I guess I need to update this library in blojsom. I'm happy to do the update to as it's not one of their "2.4-alpha-5 type releases". I mean, I'm not going to argue with anyone's particular versioning scheme, but christ, I'm just a little turned off when I see something like that.

• Changed the BlojsomPlugin.process() method to also accept the HttpServletResponse to allow for plugins to manipulate things like cookies
• Referer plugin has been re-written to allow tracking and totaling by flavor, as well as only showing today's referer's. And we know how much fun that can be given the recent FBI referer scandal
• New Calendar plugin that renders a visual calendar into your blog, hyperlinking dates that have entries
• Calendar navigation code has moved to the new Calendar Filter plugin. If you want to continue to have calendar url navigation on your blog, please be sure to add this plugin to the start of one of your flavor-based plugin chains
• Added the Send Email plugin that allows other plugins to send email messages
• Comment and Trackback plugin will now e-mail comments and trackbacks (if enabled) to the blog owner

Mark has added a second theme called "SecondWave". I'm hoping to get the "Green Lantern" style sheet from Andres.

Oh, and if you want to talk flexibility, you might want to check out Chris' weblog over at Sixlegs. Chris wrote a FreeMarker dispatcher, some accompanying templates, and a FreeMarker Calendar plugin. So, that means you really have some flexibility in terms of your presentation. JSP, Velocity, and now FreeMarker.

Enjoy!

You are in a maze of weblogs, all alike. Think blojsom, and get out!

I like it

What?!?! Was it my use of "beotch"?

Wow ... just wow!

It's great when someone is able to customize your software to adapt it to their liking. It's also a first as until now, we've only had the JSP dispatcher and Velocity dispatcher. But, Chris wanted to use FreeMarker and so wrote himself a FreeMarker dispatcher. I hope that it was as easy as I made it out to sound on the homepage:

"Have another display technology you'd like to use? Simply extend the GenericDispatcher interface and configure the mapping file so that blojsom knows how to map the template extension to the proper dispatcher. That's it!"

Note to self: I need to allow for sizing on the Emoticons plugin because my grin was much bigger than above when I got Chris' message this afternoon.

But, I got to thinking that the filesystem really is limited in how expressive we can be with blojsom and its components. So, for blojsom 1.8 I'm going to rearchitect the system to go against a database. I'm certainly open to ideas on the persistence engine since I had looked at Hibernate awhile back, then went to Castor JDO, and then this Prevalayer came out. So much to do, so little time.

YAFD!

Update:YAFD = Yeah April Fool's Day!

Update: Fixed the URL that was case sensitive. Damn ChronicleLite. I will need to comment on that to them.

Wow ... just wow!

Cool. Less pimping for me to do
