Wiki bloggin' chatbot in action

screenshot of wiki-blogging chatbot in action

Above we see the blogbot entering a chatroom. Snoopdavey greets the bot and the bot, being quite professional and not sassy in the least, responds with "Unknown command." Next, snoopdavey instructs the bot to post a blog message titled "Hello World" with some content in JSPWiki format. Blogbot converts the content to HTML, posts it to a blog server, and responds with the new post ID. Next, snoopdavey decides to unblog the message he just blogged and the bot complies.

Pretty cool and all, but probably useful only to the terminally geeky.

Reading blogs in the Netbeans IDE

Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine: In his "FeedReader" tutorial (version française ici), Rich Unger explains how to develop an RSS reader on top of the NetBeans platform (using P@'s and friends' Rome Atom/RSS tools).

Good luck Danese!

It's sad to see Danese leave Sun. I talked to her at length before I joined Sun and she's given me lots of good advice along they way. She helped to convinced me that taking Roller to Apache is the best way to ensure the continued success and long-term viability of Roller as an independent open source project and helped me find my way to ApacheCon 2004 so that I could learn about the Apache way. I started at Sun about five months ago, I work remotely and I never really got to know Danese all that well, so it's very interesting to read the farewell messages and retrospectives on the important work she has done at Sun (e.g by Jim Grizanzio, Claire Giordano, and Danese herself). Thanks Danese and good luck at Intel and with your new blog.
