Blogging Roller

Dave Johnson on open web technologies, social software and software development


Raleigh bloggers meetup tonight at Cafe Cyclo

Triangle Citysearch: Rust-colored walls, wooden chairs and a colorful row of mounted lights give Cafe Cyclo a cozy atmosphere, perfect for quiet conversations. By day, expect a quiet lunch spot. By night, expect a jazzy social scene with understated energy and lots of charm. The menu is as loaded with drink concoctions as it is with munchies. This is the perfect place for a light meal; the Asian-influenced dishes range from Vietnamese spring rolls to seared tuna.
That's us: jazzy and social with understated energy. Come on down. Josh has the details.

Tip'o'the hat to the FeedValidator and crew


I'd like to thank the folks who developed and run the FeedValidator, a valuable service that let's you know if your feeds validate against the RSS, Atom and commonly used extension specs. The warnings that it issues may be irritating and some can be safely ignored, but they're valuable just the same. I don't particularly like the warnings about <content:encoded> (which Roller now uses, by the way) and the style attribute, but I understand why they're necessary. If you want to whine about something, whine about the crappy RSS specs that we're all stuck with not the folks that are trying to help you understand them.

Update: In Roller RSS 2.0 feeds, we now use <atom:summary> for entry.summary (which is new) and <description> for entry.text (as we always have).
