Supplementary Characters in the Java Platform
"Supplementary Characters in the Java Platform"
This article describes how supplementary characters are supported in the Java platform. Supplementary characters are characters in the Unicode standard whose code points are above U+FFFF, and which therefore cannot be described as single 16-bit entities such as the char data type in the Java programming language. Such characters are generally rare, but some are used, for example, as part of Chinese and Japanese personal names, and so support for them is commonly required for government applications in East Asian countries.

RE: Will RSS Readers Clog the Web?
In response to this Wired article, "Will RSS Readers Clog the Web?", any blog software developers (whether you're developing a news reader or blog software itself) unskilled in the art of Conditional GET for HTTP, please read, "HTTP Conditional GET for RSS hackers". That post details client and server behavior. Also, your blog server or blog software should be smart enough to handle the check for whether or not the client can handle GZIP'd content and send GZIP'd content appropriately. This can be done at the web server level (e.g. Apache mod_gzip) or the blog software level (e.g. blojsom's Compression filter).
Conditional GET cuts down on sending out any information at all if nothing has changed in the news feed. GZIPing the content cuts down on the amount of bandwidth used if you do end up sending bandwidth.
Support both!

Fun with the blojsom moblog plugin
I don't think I need to go into any more detail on the goodness that is blojsom 2.14, but in the next version, some simple tweaks to the moblog plugin make it easy to do the following. The only thing the current blojsom 2.14 version doesn't handle properly is the HTML text moblog entry. But that's been fixed as you can see by clicking on some of the links below.
- Send plain text moblog entries
- Send HTML text moblog entres: entry 1, entry 2 (with international characters)
- Send moblog entries with images: entry 1, entry 2 (from the camera phone)
- Turn off comments by including the proper meta-data in the body of the e-mail blog entry (the same could be done for trackbacks)
