When we were
developing SOAP in 1998 and 1999, another group was working on WebDAV. SOAP was higher level, you
could create a toolkit that mapped SOAP calls on the procedure-calling
mechanism in any scripting system. I never understood WebDAV, so I
hired a smart young guy to
implement it for UserLand (he works at IBM now). Never happened.
There were three groups at Microsoft, one working on WebDAV,
another working with Allaire on WDDX, and a third working on SOAP.
Anyway, if this were a horror movie, we'd say They're baaaaack, about
the WebDAV folk. Amazingly, they're talking about retrofitting weblog
APIs to be part of WebDAV. What an stunningly stupid step backwards.
Some corporate programmers are amazing that way, rapidly
driving off the cliff to get off the high road and quickly get mired
in the mud. Glad I'm not involved in that debate. Eventually even SOAP
got mired, so we stuck with XML-RPC. Oh for the good old days, when I
could ratify a standard proposed by
Evan in a matter of hours. Look at all the overhead that's come
into it. Blogging as a technical art, may almost be over, the
standards nazis are taking over.

Sec
rets of the Third Reich...UFO's? "...As Sir Roy Feddon,
Chief of the Technical Mission to Germany for the Ministry of Aircraft
Production stated in 1945. "…I have seen enough of their
designs and production plans to realise that if they (the Germans) had
managed to prolong the war some months longer, we would have been
confronted with a set of entirely new and deadly developments in air
warfare.".....upright, vertical take-off aircraft.....a
saucer-shaped craft with enclosed twin rotors.....Cruise
missiles....the V-2....[predecessor of the Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles]....a rocket-powered fighter, the ME 163...These then, were
some of the known German advances. However there were also hints of
darker technologies not fully understood." Woo woo! So
begins the four part "Secrets of the Third Reich" - where
does fact merge into fiction? It's such a great read that it almost
doesn't matter. A version with pictures lives
here (go to menu, "Book
4"). Then, there's
The Hunt For Zero Point We have met the aliens, and they are us ?

Ukranian cave system that hid Jews from

Ukranian cave system that hid Jews from
Nazis for nearly a year
07/22/2004 12:52 AMThis is an incredible National Geographic piece on the exploration of
the Priest's Grotto, a cave system in the Ukraine where 38 Jews hid
from the Nazis for nearly a year.
Once inside, Nicola marveled at not only the remarkable natural
features of the cave but signs of human presence, including walls and
old shoes and walls made of stones...
"It's amazing," Nicola told National Geographic News. "When I go into
a cave I have special boots, because an ankle sprain deep in a cave
could be serious business. I have special wicking underwear, so I
don't get hypothermia, a special suit, special gloves for gripping
things. I have three independent light sources—that's a standard
rule. This is all for a day trip into a cave, and yet this is a
situation where average people lived here for nearly a year."...

Cosmic Painter is a GPLed MacOSX application that allows you to paint
on a "spinning" canvas, screating a Spir-O-Graph-like effect, which is
then animated. The results are, well, trippy. I just fell down a
rabbit hole looking at and playing with the samples.

Why has the cheese returned?
Why has the cheese returned?
12/06/2003 03:20 PMA weekend without my beautiful Powerbook means lots of time to sort
out my disasterous financial / bill-paying / mounds of paper
situation. This - in turn - means that some forms of music television
have become an essential part of my life. Which means in turn that I'm
being exposed to what seems to me to be a ludicrous excess of
Christmas singles. Like dozens of them! Way more than normal.
The other day I wrote about the The Darkness' effort but it's far
far far from alone. Check out this highly inexhaustive list:
And that's just the ones with explicitly Christmas themes (and
doesn't include blatant Christmas-mongering attempts like the
Ozzy/Kelly Osbourne atrocity). So I wonder to myself? Why is this
Christmas so poptastic? Is there some kind of correlation between the
perceived redundancy of the music industry and a prevalence of these
cheesy singles? Or does it correlate to anxiety about the state of the
world? Or is it a sign of complacency? Or are we all just incredibly
naff? Thoughts on a postcard please (and let me know if I've missed
any of the little bastards)...

AOL's Got CDs Being Returned By Mail
AOL's Got CDs Being Returned By Mail
04/16/2004 06:32 PMYou may recall our recent story about just
how
many "free hours" CDs and DVDs AOL sends. Well, now, a California
politician is trying to force AOL to take back the discs... and pay
for postage. A law being introduced here would
re
quire any promotional CD sent through the mail to include postage-paid
envelopes for shipping them back to the original company. Of
course, perhaps what AOL should do is include postage paid envelopes
for
others on their list. Then, if you got a CD you didn't
want, you would just be passing it on to the next person (though, I
guess you would then need another postage-paid envelope included for
the next person... and so on).
