Assuming that memeorandum provides value (and I think it does as a component of an overall view of the web, not as a sole view of the web), there’s an aspect of memeorandum that I find lacking, and that’s an addressable history. Gabe provides the ability to go and see what tech.memeorandum.com looked like [...]

Tom Simpson regarding Jeff’s request:
“If you write a book, the publisher knows how many copies of the book have sold, and they can report that to you. Do they report how many copies were sold to libraries (cache)? Do the libraries report how many times the book has been checked out?”
I don’t see the book [...]

Jeff Jarvis:
“That’s theft. If you took a song and cached it and fed it out to lots of people these days without reporting back to the owner, you’d get sued or slapped in jail.”
I couldn’t agree more with Jeff here.
This seems like yet another example of the double standard in online content production. Since [...]

UPDATE: Steve Jensen brings up a good point in his post - that all instances of user_login ($args[1]) and user_password ($ars[2]) need to be trimmed in order for other method calls (like “edit”) to succeed. xmlrpc.php.txt has been updated.

“Now, let’s play a game, try to come up with a better alternative and then we keep improving it.”

Right now thought, all I have time for is a couple of quick comments:

First, it’s difficult to tell what’s really [...]

From (parenthetical):
See my conversation with Dave starting here.
When I step through the code I get what appears to be a valid xmlrpc method call over http, but my xmlrpc log file looks munged. If there’s anyone around who uses a WordPress 1.5+ blog and the OPML Editor and woud be willing to try a [...]

I’ve been looking more closely at the SSE announcement since it came out; the next few posts are likely to be about this, and some (like this one) fairly (ok, very) long, so be forewarned….
After reading through the spec and accompanying FAQ, I started rifling through the commentary thread at memeorandum.1  Alex Barnett already has [...]

Love this:
The objective of Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE) is to define the minimum extensions necessary to enable loosely-cooperating appsXML Developer Center: Simple Sharing Extensions for RSS and OPML
From my 10 minute lookover of this, I’m pretty excited.  I don’t have time to completely grok the usage or to look for holes right now, but I’d [...]
