I just fixed a breathtakingly bad off-by-one error in the Planet code. You don't have to go fossicking for certain entries anymore (such as Dave's, John's, Evo's, Ximian Desktop's... all the MoveableType blogs, though it's not MT's fault). This is a deeply pleasing fix, and it has brought warmth to Dave's black, black heart.  #

Planet & Planetarium

Edd mentioned to me yesterday that Ted Leung from Apache-land mailed him about setting up an aggregator for Apache related blogs. Mails forwarded and replied and now I'm even more amazed about how quickly this thing is taking off. There will be an Apache link in Planetarium very soon (indeed, it sounds like Thom is getting antsy about setting it up)... I've got a fully patched up Planet if you want it, Thom. :-)

I've also been talking to Edd about extra technologies we can use to build some togetherness into the greater "Planet community". Edd, being Mr. XML and a bit of a Mr. RDF, had some really awesome ideas for this, and hopefully we'll get three interoperating implementations out of it (Planet RDF and Monologue use different codebases). Thus, the Planet & Planetarium projects are born!

Just have to have a website, mailing list and logo competition to really get them rolling. *cough*  #

Good interview with Nat, Miguel and Chris Stone of Novell. More expression of disbelief at Sun's Linux strategy will hopefully kick them out of their stupor. I love Sun's contributions to GNOME, but I want them to survive to keep doing it! Also of interest, IBM memo about using Linux desktops... They have a good relationship with Novell now, too. :-)  #
