The more I look at FedWiki, the more overlap I see with the work Dave has been doing with outliners and publishing. Especially with Trex and the World Outline. The World Outline is like the World Wide Web, except instead of a web of linked pages, it's an array of outlines that...
Following my intuition keeps leading me to fun coincidences. I've been following the work of Dorian Taylor, learning more about how he uses linked data. App::IBIS is interesting, but also how he's using attributes on links on his website. Here's an example: <a ...
Knowledge Byproducts When I took Building a Second Brain, one of the concepts was "knowledge byproducts." The idea that as you're doing your work, you're creating things that could be useful later on in a different project. I decided that what I'd like to do is find a...

Interesting timing. I've been talking to Dave lately about nodeEditor and how things worked in Frontier. Then I opened Instapaper today and was scanning through pages I had bookmarked to read later and came across a How Frontier got started which had an attached podcast that was...
I deployed the new rssCloud v2 to a temporary port and I'd like to have a way to poke at it and make sure it's doing what it should be doing. Today I plan on building a simple tool that will allow me to zip through the various combinations of pleaseNotify and ping and check that...
One of the reasons I continue to work on the rssCloud server is that I see it has untapped potential. One thing that is frequently used to "Sell" the rssCloud competitor PubSubHubbub (or PuSH or WebSub) is that it provides "Fat Pings". The content in the...
