I just realized that I wrote two postings that have accomplished absolutely nothing of value. I should have spent my time writing code instead. That’s what technologists do — write code.
What am I doing wasting my time writing? I should be coding.

A couple of people have discussed de-linking in their weblogs (Dorothea and Elaine). Life goes on. Personally, I wish I hadn’t brought up delinking in my discussion about replacing the blogroll.
I’m replacing my blogroll with something else because I’m trying out new technology. An experiment, if you will to see how well it works and if it is an improvement on existing blogroll linkage. I’m doing so because I am a technologist. Sometimes I get paid for my effort. Sometimes I don’t. But it’s what I am and what I do. I’m a code machine, a COC (Coders Only Club) wanna be.
And because I do happen to believe in community, I’ll pass on the code to you. To use, or not, in your own weblogs. That’s what you do, being whatever you are.

Mark Pilgrim has a new article over at O’Reilly Network: What is RSS. It focuses on working with the major varieties of RSS out in net land.
Considering that Mark isn’t exactly the greatest fan of RDF/XML, I thought his coverage of RSS 1.0 to be unbiased. He didn’t holler out with, “RDF sucks but it’s out there, so we’ll have to live with it!” I’ll make Mark a fan of RDF/XML yet.

I am going to be heavily involved with technology and technology-related writing in the next few weeks. For those of you who aren’t interested in technology (and why aren’t you?), I would like to point you to some excellent non-tech related posts worth your read:
Steve Himmer’s The Words behind the Words
Jeff Ward’s response
Steve Himmer’s response to the response
AKMA’s two posts on learning: here and here
Though somewhat technical, Jonathon Delacour’s continuing series “Conversation with Joe Clark”, such as the third entry are well worth a read.
Loren Weber’s continuing series on the poet MacLeish, including the latest entry
Back to the technology. Back to the book.

In case you’re wondering what happened to several posts, I’m in the process of moving all RDF-related weblog entries over to the Practical RDF weblog.
The great thing about Movable Type on top of MySql is how easy it is to move entries around among weblogs. One SQL script is all it takes. The archives will continue to show in both areas until I add the moved entries into PostCon and have it manage the re-directs for me.
