XML Deviant: Instant RSS
RDF has some devoted followers, but is yet to hit the XML mainstream. Many believe this is because of its complicated syntax. XML-Deviant investigates the quest for "instant RDF".

Developers Explain: Why RSS 1.0?
Some of the core developers of the RSS 1.0 spec talk about the background and need for a standard and how it will enable richer metadata in syndicated content.

RSS 1.0
Over the last few weeks I've been privileged to have followed the work of a group of developers creating a proposal for the next generation of RSS.
[O'Reilly Network: Edd Dumbill]
A public [RSS] proposal
A public proposal to add namespaces and RDF to RSS from a group of developers lead by O'Reilly Associates. If their proposal gains even modest traction we'll support it. O'Reilly is a big user of Manila, and therefore a customer. We also support diversity. As a vendor of a content management system, we have no opinion as to the artistic merits of one format over another. If it gains support on either end of the pipe, in content or in aggregation, we will support it.

NPW 2008, talks (2008.05.15 4:41) I have promised Claes that I would give a talk at the Nordic Perl Workshop in Stockholm.
So I decided to give my two (lightning)-talks combined into a single talk about Test::Builder. I have to almost finished articles on 'Writing Your Own Test Module' and 'Testing Your Own Test Module', so perhaps I can finish these articles at the same time, prepping the presentations.
I will be bringing my wife with me to Stockholm and my mother will look after Villads and Sylvester, so it is going to be really nice going to Stockholm with her instead of just feeling bad about leaving her back home with the two troublemakers.
I look very much forward going to NPW in Stockholm since the one in 2005 was one of, if not the best workshops I have attended. [Source: use perl Journal] Note on iPhone vs. Video Podcast (2008.05.15 3:58) This hint was quite resourceful, when I wanted to watch video podcasts on my iPhone in bed I only saw a still image.
It was a but counter-intuitive that you would not be able to watch video podcasts via the podcast section, but the video section, but the moment you get this it makes sense.
[Source: use perl Journal] Note on iPhone vs. iCal Synchronization (2008.05.15 4:04) Here is yet another hint for iPhone trouble. I experienced problems synchronizing my iCal with my iPhone.
This blog mentions the solution, by now it is posted in several fora around the Internet.
It seems a bit weird that you have to go into iSynch to fix this, but of course it could be expected that iSync functionality is used somewhere deep down, at least that is what I assume :) [Source: use perl Journal] YAPC::Europe 2008 nightmare? (2008.05.15 4:16) I have hesitated writing this entry in my journal.
Apparently YAPC::Europe organizer nightmares is not something which is talked much about.
This nightmare was however not related to YAPC::Europe I think, but to my work on our new apartment, which went on for two months.
The whole project stressed me so much I had a nightmare about it, but set in YAPC::Europe organizer nightmare setting.
I dreamed I was running down a hallway carrying a lot of stuff and talking to the attendees who was approaching a registration desk I was suppose to assemble using iron rods I was carrying.
Brian McCauley of Birmingham.pm wanted to help me, but I told him I could manage.
Anyway this not really being a YAPC::Europe organizer nightmare, I think it is okay to mention it here, I think it was about something else, but I might be wrong. [Source: use perl Journal] iPhone Trouble (2008.05.15 3:41) I had received a SMS and a call from an unknown number yesterday morning, so I got really curious as to who it could be who attempted to get a hold of me.
But my iPhone started acting up, rebooting over and over again.
After several attempts powering it down with out any change in it's behavior, I goggled...
So I found the following solution and after two attempts it worked
I thought I was safe with the restoring of the iPhone, since I normally synchronize everything from my Powerbook, but I lost my notes, SMSs and call information, Edge settings etc.
I think there is a backup facility, but I did not use it :-/
Things are slowly getting back in place and the call and SMS was from a fellow Perl Monger who had an assignment for me.
It is the first time I experience serious trouble with my iPhone, in general I am a happy user.
