Although Userland have been kind enough to let me stay on, I have decided it might be wiser to self-host this site. So I intend to move to http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/ I have managed to preserve the content, but the article comments were not ported over. Kindly update your links. This will be the last post on the site. The RSS feed will be http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/?q=node/feed/1 Thanks for all the fish. PS: I am using drupal.

If you're both a WordPress an Mint user and are wanting to integrate them the easy way, check out this new entry from Chris Hartjes about combining the two.   Now, the installation is fairly easy but there was a weird bug that was appearing, where a check to see if you are running a licensed copy of Mint kept getting triggered when I tried to access my feeds via a feed alias. The solution? An ugly hack, if you ask me.   The problem was with a Pepper for Mint called Bird Feeder Pepper that helps track RSS feed usage. The solution he found was a snippet of PHP code you'll need to insert into several of the feed scripts WordPress offers (as provided).

Interesting data  this morning (thanks Dan ) on weblogs:  "Blog readership shoots up 58% in 2004 6 million Americans get news and information fed to them through RSS aggregators But 62% of online Americans do not know what a blog is"  Read the PDF  for more stats (man I hate PDF).  "27% of internet users say they read blogs, a 58% jump from the 17% who told us they were blog readers in February. This means that by the end of 2004 32 million Americans were blog readers. Much of the attention to blogs focused on those that covered the recent political campaign and the media. And at least some of the overall growth in blog readership is attributable to political blogs. Some 9% of internet users ...

(InfoWorld) - IUpload on Monday introduced an upgraded version of its enterprise blogging software designed to let companies deploy both internal and external blogs and in some cases unite the two. The latest release includes very granular permissioning capabilities. Administrators of internal blogs, for example, will be able to restrict readers from viewing, submitting or altering essentially any piece of content on blogs. The updated iUpload Customer Conversation System also includes new rating and voting capabilities. Contributors will be able to attach multiple questions to their postings to let readers rate the content on specific terms. Usually, systems allow contributors to attach only one question, which tends to be too general and vague. Administrators can use the feedback to determine how to best present the content. In addition, the individual ratings can be tied to the contributor, allowing readers to find others who rated the content in a similar way. "You can use that as a way of doing social networking to marry up people of like interests," said Robin Hopper, iUpload's chief executive officer. IUpload has also separated certain functions within the software so that customers can apply them outside of the blogs. For example, a customer with a print and online magazine wanted to use some of iUpload's commenting and rating functions on its main Web site. The site uses legacy systems that are not based on blogging tools but the magazine can now use components of iUpload's software to allow readers of the site to add comments and rate content, Hopper said. IUpload added the new capabilities based on feedback from customers that already use the software to link together content from various blogs. Some users host blogs for their employees and then use tagging and rating capabilities to sift through the content in order to choose relevant information to then post on their customer-facing Web sites. "We're unlocking the content from individual blogs and putting them in front of appropriate readers," Hopper said. Companies could also use iUpload to host blogs for customers that might be able to produce valuable content that can be collected and redistributed to a wider customer base. That could allow a company to "go from a linear marketing process where they blast stuff at people to one where they try to use these communities to foster relationships," Hopper said.

Before heading over to the Web 2.0 conference at the Palace Hotel in SF this morning, I couldn't resist doing some more digging into alternate user interfaces for news reading based on the NY Times keywords.  One thing I learned the hard way is that when you access the Times site from a script (not through a browser) if you try to read an article that's too old (not sure what the time limit is) it tries to redirect you to a login page (which is pretty pointless considering that there's no human being around to log in). I hit this problem yesterday, and then hit it again this morning, but couldn't remember what the problem was. So by writing it up this time I hope to remember.  No doubt some debunked hack journalist posing as a tech industry mogul will slander me for this, but the asshat asshole has no idea how blogging works, and who the fuck cares what he thinks anyway.

There has been a lot of talk  recently about the problem of RSS feeds which include full content on high bandwidth sites such as MSDN blogs.  When RSS is used for a site with both a great amount of users, and with frequent updates, the bandwidth required to deliver realtime events can be problematic.  Its a real problem.  The RSS model requires clients to download the ENTIRE feed if even ONE item has been modified/added.  This means that if you have 55k subscribers, with 15 RSS items in your feed, and you want to publish one more post, all 14 additional posts need to be re-downloaded by the client.  There are a lot of potential solutions. HTTP deltas are one solution but too difficult to imp ...

I think I've mentioned this before but on Saturday Feb 12th I'll be talking  about the Jakarta FeedParser at CodeCon  in San Francisco.  I published an outline  of the talk on the FeedParser wiki.  I'm hoping to have a 0.5 release done before then and havepotentially another suprise in the works.
