If the blog was up and down like a see-saw today ...

... well, I was just futzing around with my moblog plugin. Now you too can wonder in amazement at stupid crap like the threading on my sweater or my coffee cup /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Now ... back to your regularly scheduled blogging.

Washington Post: Cliques, Clicks, Bullies and Blogs

I wonder what high school would be like today after reading this article.
"It allows kids to say and do things that they wouldn't do face-to-face, and they feel like they won't be held accountable in the same way. It gives them a false sense of security and power."

Candidate for song of BloggerCon ...

... Rage Against The Machine, "Freedom". I think that about speaks for itself /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif In consideration, however, its appeal may not be as broad as Aretha Franklin's "Respect".

Talyllyn Railyway News - Powered by blojsom

The Talyllyn Railway is an historic narrow-gauge steam railway, set in the beautiful Mid-Wales countryside. Running from Tywyn to Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol, the line passes the delightful Dolgoch Falls and there are excellent forest walks at Nant Gwernol.
Their news site is powered by blojsom. Cool!

blojsom merchandise or "Your t-shirts will be ready in a week"

In preparation for BloggerCon and because I can, I'm starting to put together blojsom merchandise, starting with t-shirts. They'll be heather grey with the following logo (sans white background) in a variety of sizes. I can't wait!

blojsom t-shirt

I'm expecting that I'll be able to trade a shirt with one of the Blogger folks at BloggerCon. They've had merchandise for awhile now. From the TypePad FAQ, they'll have merchandise soon enough. In time enough for BloggerCon? I'll find out in a week I guess.

Any questions?

blojsom simple obfuscation plugin available

Using blojsom? You can do something for visitors who leave comments on your site by obfuscating their e-mail address with the simple obfuscation plugin. This should be enough to keep away spammers who may now be trolling blogs looking for fresh e-mail addresses to spam. It's as easy as (after installing the plugin and assuming you're using Velocity): 
mailto:$BLOJSOM_PLUGIN_SIMPLE_OBFUSCATION.obfuscate(
$entryComment.getAuthorEmail())
You'll still see the correct e-mail address when you mouseover the mailto: link and if you click the mailto: link, you'll get a proper e-mail address. All without JavaScript. Hop on over to the comments page for this entry and view the source of the page. Enjoy! This plugin will be available without having to pull from CVS in the forthcoming blojsom 2.02.

blojsom Trackback Auto-Discovery plugin available

I checked in Trackback Auto-Discovery plugin for blojsom to CVS. What does it do? In conjunction with blojsom's Meta Plugin, it will try to discover trackback ping URLs for hyperlinks found in your blog entry and if it does find a correct trackback ping URL, it will send a trackback ping to that particular URL. In short, a timesaver for you and a hassle free way of sending trackback pings to those URLs you want to ping.

Why does it use the Meta Plugin? Well, it was a cheap, easy, and simple way of specifying that you want that particular entry to automatically discover and send a trackback ping. Simply add the following on a blank line in your blog entry, "meta-auto-trackback=true". The AutoTrackback Plugin should be placed after your Meta Plugin in one of your flavor-based plugin chains so that the Meta Plugin can first populate the meta-data of your blog entry with the appropriate key/value pairs. Furthermore, you can also retroactively specify older blog entries to do trackback autodiscovery and ping by editing an old entry via XML-RPC or by whatever means you use to edit your blog.

After the AutoTrackback Plugin "does its thing", it will add meta-data to the blog entry and save that meta-data indicating that it has "done its thing". Well, I guess that's about it.

Also, for those blojsom folks wanting to participate in Trackback Auto-Discovery, you'll need to modify any templates which reference "dc:identifer" and change that to "dc:identifier". Notice the mis-spelling in the first attribute specification. DOH! Also, you'll want to modify your templates to change any "trackback:ping" elements to "trackback:ping="$entry.getLink()&tb=y" instead of "trackback:ping="$entry.getLink()&tb=y".

And to demonstrate.

A year ago today ... (or Happy Blogday to me)

... I started blogging. I started with MovableType. A few months later, in late January of 2003, I came across blosxom and noodled on that a bit with Mark. A few days later I released blojsom. It has been an interesting year to say the least.

Meet 50% of blojsom at BloggerCon 2003

Listen up y'all ... if you're going to be at BloggerCon 2003, here's your chance to meet half of the blojsom development team. I'll be there both days, BTW. Apparently there's going to be a tools BOF on Day 2. So, Movable Type, Blogger, and Manila will have a table. I'll try now and get a table for blojsom. We're small but growing and we kick ass! Hell, we might not be able to offer free t-shirts or stickers, but maybe a few bottles of Absolut and some plastic shot glasses will get people over to our table to talk shop /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif

And remember folks, Day 2 of BloggerCon is FREE! That means $0 for you and yours.

Atom Sandler Introspection, Search, Fetch in blojsom

Here's to you Atom Sandler. blojsom support for the Atom API is really moving forward. Sandler is helping that along immensely. Mark is making it all happen. If anyone wants to be involved with the effort, all the pieces are there for you to get involved. You just need to say the word.

But, just to wet your appetite, here's a screenshot with the wxAtomClient going against Atom Sandler's blog. Posting and editing will be completed tonight or at some point during the night.

Velocity is to Happy as VelocityEngine is to ?

Insert "Mostly Happy ... Mostly" in place of the ? in this entry's title. After switching over blojsom's VelocityDispatcher to use new-able VelocityEngine instances instead of the Velocity singleton, I was seeing the behavior mentioned in this Velocity bug. I had to go the VelocityEngine route so that I could dynamically set the "file.resource.loader.path" for the individual user. Use of the singleton Velocity instance would've resulted in clobbering of that property for multiple users.

Thankfully, I was able to adapt a simple workaround as mentioned in the comments using a BlojsomSimpleLog4JSystem.

Sandler 0.1 almost ready!

From Mark ... And damn, the name just kicks so much ass!
So I am getting close to getting 0.1 out the door. I currently have functional the ability to parse a full 0.2 feed as well as starting at any child point (ie: start with <entry/> for a AtomAPI integration). You can also programatically assemble and dump 0.2 valid feeds.

Its non validating, based on XPP (XML Pull Parser, which is 29k and inside my jar) and is quite fast. I did a very academic implementation (interfaces and XPP Implementations) and it kicks ass

So a bit more work and apporval from sf.net for the project and Yahoo!

Readying blojsom 2.01

I've got a few minor updates that I'm readying for blojsom 2.01.

  • Received a contribution from someone in Germany about an issue with blog entry meta-data not properly handling non-ISO-8859-1 characters. Thanks for that fix!
  • Implemented a caching fetcher using OSCache. I guess there's not much to say there other than it only took about 38 lines of code. I guess that's code reuse, but seriously ... caching isn't hard and it's "a good thing" /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif Especially easy when using OSCache.
Well, that's about it.

petmystone.com

Googling for blojsom turned up petmystone.com awhile ago. Why the anticipation on my part? Well, partly because it's yet another blojsom blog going online and partly because the name petmystone is cool and partly because the name of the blog, digital 'skrE is cool (mostly because that last E is capitalized). Other than that, maybe blogging this will get me a sneak peek /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif

"As you know we're giving away 25 BloggerCon seats to members of the weblog community, at absolutely no cost. Yesterday, as scheduled, we ran the script that chose the 25 lucky people at random, and.. You won!"
