fnokd!

Mark Proctor has posted an interview he did with Terence Parr of ANTLR fame. Ter is one of the nicest and smartest guys I know.
Back in the day, teaching myself how to program in C++, I decided to write my own scripting language. I’d tried (f)lex/yacc/bison, and they were either not friendly to [...]

James Governor of RedMonk had a less-than-flattering comment about how JBoss blogs.

I think part of the problem is that a lot of interesting JBoss blogging occurs at places other than blogs.jboss.com. Basically, you simply have to look further than blogs.jboss.com.
For example, the JBoss Rules team blogs hellagood over at the JBoss Rules Blog. [...]

My good friend Brian “I love a good tamale” McCallister apparently blogged about a blog entry that Hernri wrote about an IM conversation he had with Brian.
That’s so meta.
They both made the point that they haven’t enjoyed blogging because it felt like they were writing articles. It gets tiring sounding pedagogical all the time.

Poking around, I realized that iTunes would consume the RSS 2.0 feed from WordPress as a podcast, and load up the first mentioned mp3 in a given entry as the podcast. If you link to multiple mp3s, alas only the [...]

No comments [...]

So my friend Joe is one of those crazy cool Contegix kids.
He’s a music maven and has set up a new blog for music stuff, Music Sucks. He’s particularly proud of his most recent interview with Alex Chow of Islands.
Joe’s also invited me to be an occasional guest blogger, so any of my future [...]

Following on the heels of my last post, I’d like to announce the Ruby Underground. It’s simply a selective aggregator of Ruby blogger content. There’s already plenty of sources for generic ruby content. Tons of 20-something youngsters (yes, I’m old) are out there talking about Ruby on Rails and such.
The Ruby Underground [...]

Blogs and such are supposed to be about both aggregation and syndication. With aggregators such as Bloglines or NetNewsWire, I think we’ve thus far got a pretty good handle on aggregation. Or at least personal aggregation. In true populist web2.0 form, the user is supposed to cut out the middleman, and just [...]
