A Year Ago Today
A year ago today, I started blogging with LiveJournal. Here’s my second journal entry from the day:
Aiight, here’s the deal– The purpose for this site is mostly to rant and rave a bit (cause if ya can’t do that with a blog…) but I also surf the net waay too much and come up with some random links that I’d like to share with the world. I’m working on a web-based link collection, managment, and display system, but until I get that off the ground, I’ll be posting them here. If and when I get my open-source link system going, I hope to be able to integrate it with livejournal somehow so that cached links are posted once or twice a day or something like that.

FuzzyBlog: The XML-RPC libraries for php by Keith Davens goes 2.5. Also of note:
Keith is a college student — and here he is building great stuff and releasing it to the world. And, while college students have always been doing development, it’s never had the impact that it is having now. I can’t pick up an issue of Linux Journal without seeing an article by some kernel hacker still in school. Or a Python user who’s still studying. Or whatever. Given that I started my first software company when I was still in school, I understand this all too well — and it still surprises me.
The libraries can be found here, and Kieth’s weblog is here.

pMachine: A blogging/publishing/content management system that I think I glanced over a long time ago, but recently rediscovered. Ecrosstexas is a blog powered by pMachine, and I just subscribed to Eric’s RSS feed. pMachine runs on PHP with a MySQL backend. There is a free version as well as a “Pro” version. From the screenshots, this puppy looks like it has a lot of features.
Ecrosstexas is the latest ecosystem/referrer log gem that I have stumbled upon. Blog on, Eric.

Online Community Report is running an article on Tara Sue and the weblog campaign movement.

Dave: “Tara Sue got Slashdotted yesterday.” Scroll down a little and I got a little second-degree slashdotted.
-
Slashdot: Time to start and stop 100,000 threads in the latest 2.5 kernel (0 to 100,000 to 0): approx 2 seconds. Rock!

End of Life: NetBSD 1.4 gets the big EOL:
In keeping with NetBSD’s policy of maintaining only the current and most recent release, the release of NetBSD 1.6 marks the end-of-life for NetBSD 1.4. This means that no more pullups are made to the netbsd-1-4 branch and no more security advisories are issued. The NetBSD Project strongly recommends that users of NetBSD 1.4 update their systems.

Dave:
I’ve given a lot of thought lately to the question of whether I will return to UserLand full-time at some point in the future. I still don’t have a final decision, but I’m leaning towards not going back. It’s a tough job even for people with strong bodies, and that’s not me, now, and maybe not for quite some time. I haven’t been involved in the company since mid-June and it seems to be doing fine. I’d like to try some different things out, perhaps teaching, maybe I’ll write a book, travel, spend some time pondering what’s next. I’m still not sure what I’ll do, but like I said, I’m doing a lot of thinking about this.
I’m sure that whatever Dave ends up doing, he’ll be stirring things up, be it from the front line or the sidelines.

Russ has put his thoughts on a journaling system up at his site, maywhere.

Tara Sue reflects on my coverage of the Cato debtate. My favorite part:
I’m no pirate. I’ve never stolen anybody’s eight cents. I’m protecting our right to privacy. I’m doing Mr. Coble’s and Mr. Berman’s job—pro bono! These boys need to head back to law school. They just don’t get it.
I found that via Dave while playing catch up.
-
I’m back from Ohio. Time flew, and it was sad, but it was also great to see some relatives I hadn’t seen in ages.
I’m catching up.
-
Thanks, Ed, for the kind words. I learned a lot from covering the Cato debate. More to come.

Are there any lawyers in the house that can help David Johnson deal with weblogger? As a clued-in individual, I can’t even imagine confusing the two. Here’s the breakdown:
- Weblogger.com: A for-profit company that hosts weblogs.
- Rollerweblogger.org: An open-source Java-based weblogging project not intended for the general non-hardcoregeek public.
It could get ugly.
Sam Ruby has also picked up on David Johnson’s problems with a similar call for help:
Unfortunately, this isn’t the fun or education that he was looking for. I encourage anybody with insight into the origin of the term “weblogger”, or the alleged ability to copyright a word, or the legal significance of a lapsed trademark to either contact snoopdave privately or leave a comment on this blog entry.
Russ chimes in with:
Erin, suck MY dick. Do your lawyers speak Spanish? You don’t have a trademark, you don’t have a copyright, and you don’t have a business plan. Please go back into the hole you crawled out of.
Bret Morgan’s take on the above comment:
ROFLMAO
Workbench has some constructive stuff to say:
I’m a Weblogger.Com customer with lots of nice things to say about the company (great customer service). However, I would be amazed if it could get anywhere with a trademark claim on the word “weblogger,” and I can think of nothing that would sour more people on a weblog hosting company than an effort to chase people off that word.
-
But you need to be prepared for a variety of annoying and pathetic phone delays before you’ll get thru to a person. Swearing at the voice mail system loudly and vociferously is recommended. Swearing at the customer service representative is not.

I will be driving up to Ohio tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to find some form of net access tomorrow and/or saturday. One must avoid the gaping calendar hole at all costs.
