Syndic8 now supports Atom. This is good, I think the Syndic8 guys will bring to light some of the issues that other Atom folks might not have dealt with in the syndicated feed world.
Alarm-Type
You know you’ve been spending too much time on web development when the alarm clock goes off and you wonder why it didn’t send the correct mime-type.
What exactly the correct mime type for an alarm clock is I’m not sure… perhaps audio/mp3 or something…
So if you wake up and immediately think about debugging your alarm clock or checking it’s error log, you might want to go back to sleep.
As Seen on CNN
So I found this link on Scripting News pointing to a Nutty RSS/TiVo hack, and in following the link to the Nutty RSS/Tivo hack, there appears to be a screenshot, and when you view the screenshot… well, I’m on CNN!
So Steve “Vegan Warrior” Jobs is now selling sugar-water to the kids. The kids will thusly buy the sugar-water and then get “free” (as in beer) music from the iTunes Music Store. And the best part? It’s all legal. They’ve even got a nice background song in “I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)” to go with it. I personally would have choosen the version recorded by the Clash, but that would have caused the kids to say “Who are the Clash?” so they got a bunch of kids who played in Grant’s basement years ago to do it instead. Probably payed them in sugar-water. Or iPods. Of course I’m sure all those Pepsi-drinking kids will be more than happy to purchase an iPod of their very own.
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll want to see the thing, or at least read about it. Your Mac Life has the scoop.
So while people are all hyped about “Reality Television” we sit patiently for Steve to unveil “Reality Distortion Television” which is a land where you can pretend Steve Jobs is drinking a Sierra Mist while listening to the Clash…
