Much of the first part of today (which has been a very long ‘today’) spent
hacking on release strategy proposal, web planning documents and
library.gnome.org. It’s going to rock way hard when these planets align. I
was really hoping to get the release strategy stuff out of the way today,
but it’s kinda laborious. Cool, but pushing lots of […]

Very saddened to hear of

next half hour, it will provide its blogroll as OPML […]

spiv points out some Penny
Arcade prescience
of Planet Proliferation. Hell yeah! Scott just sent a
lengthy email describing his massive rewrite of Planet. It is now truly an
awesome aggregator, with none of the old pyblaggisms. He has totally
kicked its arse. I’m going to work on python2.1 compatibility, RDF/FOAF/OPML
output, and then port the desktop aggregator stuff I’ve been […]
