Andi's next computer

She doesn't know it yet, but Andi's getting a Mac mini. The kids can have the old Windows box, but we'll have to disconnect it from the net so they can use it safely ;-)

Roller docs in Chinese and Japanese

Thanks to two very generous contributors, we now have translations of the Roller user guide, installation guide, and FAQ. Take a look:

Thanks Noniko and Nan Chang. I'm sure your efforts will be appreciated by many new Roller users.

By the way, the Installation Guide is in sync with Roller 1.0, but I still need to update the User Guide to document the new Roller 1.0 features.

Submitted Chapter 7: Publishing with XML-RPC based APIs

I just uploaded Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds In Action Chapter 7: Publishing With XML-RPC based APIs to Manning for review. After introducing the  reader to XML-RPC, the Blogger API, and the MetaWeblog API the chapter the leads the reader through the development of a complete blog client library using C# and Cook Computing XML-RPC.Net (there is also a Java and Apache XML-RPC based version of the library which will be available on the book's website). The blog client library interfaces look kinda the ones I proposed on the Roller wiki, but they've evolved a bit and I imagine they'lll evolve a bit more as I complete the Atom implementation.
