I’ve discussed meaningful URL’s a number of times on this site: one of the biggest benefits of a good blog URL is that you can infer who posted the article, when it was posted and what the blog post is about. For the most part this is all ‘a good thing’. But when you’re [...]
Sometime last week I read this piece by Sam Ruby, which summarized says this:
…don’t send Etag and Last-Modified headers unless you really mean it. But if you can support it, please do. It will save you some bandwidth and your readers some processing.
The product I’ve been working on at work (which I should [...]
If you read this blog, you probably paid a smidgen of attention to the Web 2.0 Conference held last week in San Francisco. Sphere was one of the companies that presented and they launched a product called the “Sphere It Contextual Widget for blogs“, which is JavaScript widget you can add to your blog or [...]

At work, we use WebWork extensively but up until this point we haven’t made an effort to create meaningful URL’s. As with any well designed framework, it turns out that [...]
I wanted to create RSS feeds for karensrecipes.com using Java. I did my ‘research‘, came to this page: Ben Hammersley.com: Java RSS libraries and then used the RSS4j library to create a servlet that serves up dynamic RSS feeds of the 10 most recently created recipes per category (samples: Breakfast, Soup, Barbeque..).

I got cleared to go to the Cambridge OSCOM today. I’m going to sign up tomorrow. Since we’re debuting our own content management product soon (we’re having a party in June btw, you’re invited! email me if you’d like to come!), I’ll be scouring feature lists and technologies that we can integrate and/or inter-operate with. [...]
The Open Source Content Management conference has blog specifically for the Cambridge event, giving those attending (or just interested) the ability to discuss each program. Great idea!
