Maintenance -- Friends pages (Oct 01 2003 23:35 GMT) - Due to a temporary surge in traffic caused by Speedera's caches filling up with everybody's userpics, we have to temporarily restrict access to friends pages. We're rushing to finish the new friends view code which uses memcached. It should only be for the afternoon (next few hours). As traffic drops tonight we'll turn friends pages back on.Paid users can still use their friends page, but we're closing off our payment area, lest anybody think this is a marketing ploy to get more sign-ups. |

RSS-Data: Pull Based Method Calls for Client Apps? (Oct 01 2003 23:35 GMT) - Okay, so it took me a day to grok what Jeremy was ranting about yesterday with his RSS-Data idea, but I think I've got the idea now and it's pretty damn neat. He's proposing to embed XML-RPC type data structures into RSS, and at first I was pretty doubtful, as this in my mind is what namespaces are for. We were just talking about this the other day for the calendaring info - creating a new namespace that contains the definition of the date and time elements, then include those elements along with your RSS for scheduling, etc. Why would you want to lose that sort of structure with a bunch of free-form data embedded along with your items? But then I started trying to grok what the core of the idea was and I think I've got it. |
