Assigning Credit Where Credit Is Due

I just wanted to clarify something.  I jumped the gun on publishing the RSS ICBM module.  It was really just an implementation of an idea that was completely Kenneth‘s.  As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be as excited as I am about geolocation without talking to Kenneth over email and IM, and believe me, I’m really excited.

It’s this excitement that I think motivated me to get the module out there.  It’s one of those things that I did just before going to bed, and looking back, I totally should have slept on it.

I violated the trust of someone that I’ve just begun to get to know, and someone that I’ve been thinking of as a friend ever since I started reading his weblog.  I’m sorry about that.  I messed up.

The spec is out there, it’d be great if it becomes used, though so far very few people seem interested.  I don’t think that it would be right to remove it, I think that violates some kind of weblog ethics, but I will if that’s what is best.

However, I am going to stop posting about it, and will set it aside until Kenneth and I can talk.
