Occam’s News reports that Trump et al are selling out the US.

Today’s song, for the Knicks.

I have a longtime friend from tech who is a San Antonio Spurs fan.

My friend Guy Kawasaki has a quote from the early Mac division at Apple.

About XSLT — I remembered that I thought it was a bad idea.

Anyway — I figured out what I want to do.

Postscript: Of course the blame for the wasted time this morning goes to me.

I would like to have one day when Claude Code doesn’t fuck everything up by doing things it is explicitly prohibited from doing.

The healthcare system in the US is grossly inefficient, incredibly bad and getting info to and from patients.

Anyway, what this means is we’re building a site of files that live in Markdown-Land while what you’re reading right now is in HTML-land (although someday soon you will read them in Markdown too, confusing).

I pay for a NYT digital subscription.

Do you know why people like Markdown?

32 is a lot of years.

That said, surprisingly Nicolle Wallace’s podcast is really good, which surprised me because her two hour afternoon MSNOW show is kind-of nothing.

I don’t care for podcasts that begin with 15 minutes of giggling between the hosts who I don’t know so I don’t get how cute it is.

Yesterday I wrote a piece about a Markdown-only browser, that worked nicely with HTTP.

On 10/7/1994, I wrote my first blog post.

How about a Markdown web browser.

We just hit a milesone in Atlantis.

Google Chrome, nice browser, but it doesn’t support the web.

This is the era of very powerful bozos.

What’s the best way to block a browser from a website?

I love what Claude Code does, but hate working with it.

I started blogging on October 7, 1994.

Until last week I was mostly using an old version of Chrome, so had never seen the gate it puts in front of my blog, scripting.com.

People really liked the RSS tip I posted the other day, so here’s another one, also related to the channel-level title element.

Once again the app that bridges from scripting.com to daveverse.org went down for a couple of days.

2001: “Like a boat, a human being has integrity if they is what he or they appear to be.

If you’re psyched about what the polls say about the midterms, remember that Hillary Clinton was the overwhelming favorite to win in 2016, based on polling.

I like the way AI is evolving, with Muse from Meta and Dots from OpenAI.

After running the first Bloggercon at Harvard in 2003 a famous tech company had a meetup to talk about the same stuff in a private invite-only session in the Bay Area.

September in OPML.

I keep thinking of cheesy ways I could switch over to https for new posts on Scripting News, esp now that Google is getting more militant in trying to sweep all the history of the web into the trash.

When designing your RSS feeds, the top level title should be the title of the user’s account.

The problem with regulating AI is that no one knows where to begin.

Robert Eickmann: A Go implementation of RSS Chat — distributed social networking over RSS feeds, with real-time WebSocket updates.

My long-overdue review of Don’t Look Up.

You only have one mortal body.

Today is the day we on the web remember Om Malik.

I didn’t follow baseball this year, I couldn’t get it up for the Mets while I was trying to process what the Knicks did for NY in June.

Rootfiles in Frontier, a new collection starts with docserver.root, the code and content for docserver.userland.com.

I was browsing around the WordPress blogs and found a new one in German that pointed to something new in blogrolls.

Milestone.

As I go through porting Frontier, there’s a sad note.

The bottom line is that tech companies have rarely understood that developers can be major influencers.

As I go through porting Frontier, there’s a sad note.

Sometimes I forget how much fun I have making software tricks that people don’t even notice but contribute to the “it thinks like I do” feeling a of crafted UI.

When I started the Atlantis project, a port of UserLand Frontier to modern system, I had a goal in mind that has been achieved.

Milestone.

This is what bluesky.buildRss creates.
