Before creating a microformat, the process demands a couple of
concrete actions to be taken first. The general idea is to document
current authorship techniques. If current techniques make it possible
to encode a piece of information, there is no need for a microformat.
Thus, we set ourselves up to make it difficult to create a format.

It would be kind of neat to refactor email into a web style system which conforms to atom publishing protocol.
POP3 could be a type of store. When a user wants to check their email, their email client software could ask the atom server “GET /email/messages?start=yesterday%20afternoon&count=100“. The server would respond with a list of [...]
Anyone know if/how I can tell amazon to never show me microsoft products, among other things?

Has anyone tried using Amazon’s “RESTful” webservices? I’ve had many headaches using them. If I’m using PHP, I like to use nuSOAP to access SOAP services, because PHP’s facilities for XML (at least in version 4) are terrible. nuSOAP seems to have interop issues with some of Alexa’s/Amazon’s webservices, so that’s a [...]

The W3C has restructured some working groups in the Interaction Domain. The new HTML working group is co-chaired by Dan Connolly of W3/MIT and Chris Wilson from Microsoft.
Both WHATWG and W3C are pursuing an improvement in HTML while simultaneously adding new features. My reading of charts seems to indicate the following:
WHATWG is focusing [...]

I chuckled a bit at issue 42 over at the TAG.
I’m constantly on the hunt for the perfect templating module. When I was much younger, primarily doing PHP, I quickly saw that string concatenation and variable interpolation were not good solutions when trying to author lots of complex documents. I did some searching, and found Smarty, which satisfied my needs at that time. [...]

I’ve been looking into distutils stuff lately. It seems like really nice stuff… it’s capable of all sorts of nice things. One of the things I’d like to do is add some commands for creating releases, which involves automatically creating a release branch in perforce. I was having a lot of trouble [...]

Every once in a while, I head over the cheeseshop and just scroll down. It’s really nice to see so many cool things. Today, I caught Breve, which is evidently inspired by Stan. The guy that wrote it wrote a Turbogears plugin to support stan, and seems very familiar with it, which [...]

I hope they eventually realize their ticket system isn’t secure, and that putting credit card numbers in tickets is a very bad idea.
UPDATE: I started hunting around for more information about this company. Evidently the Better Business Bureau can’t even figure out basic information about SeverPronto / InfoLink. The “address” they publish is [...]
