Atom use XML-RPC

Atom use XML-RPC 02/19/2004 11:26 AM

It's fascinating to read the comments on Russell Beattie's post about the Atom API. His concern is that he won't be able to build a client that talks to a weblog server through his Java toolkit because it doesn't allow the HTTP methods the API calls for. Further, he notes that the spec, which was openly developed, has a restrictive copyright.

The best answer is obvious, imho, use XML-RPC because it already has been adapted to and debugged in all the environments where blogging APIs need to run. By cutting almost to the bottom of the stack you will have to redo everything that took years to do. I think it's going to take longer to redo because XML-RPC didn't need to get any Java toolkits to change, it treaded more softly than the Atom does.

There's a practical side to protocol and format design that's missing in the Atom API. The goal is to make it easy for developers to hop on the bandwagon and get them committed to developing for the platform. Putting unnecessary hurdles in the way unnecessarily limits adoption, and virtually guarantees either stagnation or massive breakage. I can't imagine that either choice is what Google is looking for.

XML-RPC was designed for what they want to do and it's stood the test of time. Learn to love the pragmatic, it's how you're going to win the wars with Yahoo, Microsoft and everyone else who wants to eat your lunch.

Have Atom 12/22/2003 09:07 AM

At the moment this information will be useful to a small roomful of people, but this site is now serving an Atom 0.3 feed here. It should v alidate.

I’d planned all along to fold Atom support into rhymes-with-vexed-slattern; I’ve finally got around to it now that the spec is looking pretty solid with version 0.3.

For those to whom this is all Greek, Atom is a new form of AI technology that listens to all websites simultaneously, looking for anyone badmouthing you and those batting for your team; Atom responds by firing back custom-made insults and denunciations including but not limited to accusations of hypocrisy and pot-kettle-black.

Daniel Henry calls for unity in the syndication war by proposing a new format called SDF.

I haven't had a chance to really read the spec, but David has obviously put a lot of effort into it. Although I'm certainly not wild about yet another feed format, if SDF every gets widely used I'll support in FeedDemon.

I tried some minimal css on an experimental Atom feed and the results started to look promising - on Mozilla.  View source to see how it was done.

I then brought up the same page under IE, and it looks like IE didn't support a number of CSS features.  Worse, it seems to be stripping and/or interpreting escaped markup.  Finally, view source is not available.

Poking around to see if there were any workarounds, I came across this article by Tim Bray from 3.5 years ago...

Something to do with Atom and TypePad

Something to do with Atom and TypePad 02/19/2004 12:14 AM
Typepad and iPhoto united with Atom. Atom is a powerful, open, RSS-like syndication format, but so far, not a lot has been done with it. Now, Deez Steeles has used Atom to ship an iPhoto-to-Typepad tool that directly exports pictures that are retouched, selected and organized in Apple's iPhoto to Movable Type's Typepad blogging service. That's pretty sweet.

I'm digging the new Atom API interface to typepad. I have just completed a prototype of an iPhoto2Typepad interface. That means that its now possible to select photos in iPhoto and directly export into a Typepad Photo Album. This is basically my Holy Grail of digital photo convenience. Now the same program we use to import, and organise our pictures can send them right to Typep

Atom Feed 03/06/2004 01:55 AM

A few people mentioned that my rss feeds were broken even though they passed through the validator without errors, so I mangled them a bit tonight and also added an atom feed while I was at it. Atom is the result of the rss flamewars a few months ago and, while I couldn't care less about XML, atom does appear to have a saner format. I also tried out Shrook since I've not been entirely happy with Netnewswire and found that I really like it much better, especially the iTunes style of organisation and navigation of the feeds.

Skinplex is a new commercial technology that uses the human body as a conductor of data. According to an article in EE Times, the developers, German start-up Ident Technoogy AG, hope to compete with RFID, Bluetooth, and Near Field Communications (NFC) for some applications:

Skinplex technology could be used between an identifier worn on the user's body and a receiver integrated into a car, for example. A distinct code is transmitted through touch, the receiver recognizes its dedicated, authorized sender, and the car door is opened, for example.

This reminds me of the Personal Area Network research at MIT's Media Lab in the mid-1990s. Neil Gershenfeld and Thomas Zimmerman demonstrated a system where two people could trade electronic business cards by shaking hands. Link (via Carlo Longino at TheFeature)

See Spot and his electric sheep

See Spot and his electric sheep 05/05/2004 11:14 AM

Spot Draves' presentation of his electric sheep was one of the best presentations I attended at last February's O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. Electric Sheep is a screen saver that uses a distributed computing model (a la SETI@home) to create and render new "sheep."

When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen-saver contacts a server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep.

Every fifteen minutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and distributed to all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated fractal flame.

The sheep are amazingly beautiful, and hearing Spot speak about his work is great. Lucky for you, if you're in NYC tonight you can experience it yourself. Spot will be doing his presentation at the dorkbot-nyc gathering. Also there will be a presentation on "Gameboy Hacks" at the same meeting! It's a geek's delight!

The fourth link takes you to Argonne Laboratories transportation website, which provides articles and reviews recent research developments (3). If you are looking to buy an electric or hybrid car this website provides information on the various alternative vehicles and, and California residents can find out about state government-sponsored incentives for car buyers (4). This last website from the Why Files offers an analysis of some of the pros and cons of electric vehicles and suggests fuel cells have more potential (5).
