Typepad looks really cool.
I noticed the link to Typepad, Six Apart's new Movable Type-based weblogging service, on <a href= "http://joi.ito.com/archives/2003/07/13/what_to_take_over_to_typepad.html"> Joi Ito's blog. The feature list and screenshots look awesome. The integrated photo gallery looks pretty appealing. The wizard-style weblog template builder looks really nice too. Not only does it support multiple weblog authors, each with different priviledges, it also allows you to invite guest authors. I'm judging from a couple of screenshots and a marketing blurb, I know, but Typepad looks powerful and really easy to use.
Powered by Struts 1.1 and Hibernate 2.0.1
It's been more than a month since I refreshed the code running behind this site. I'm now running the latest Roller 0.9.8-dev from CVS. This means I'm on Struts 1.1 final (thanks to <a href= "http://brainopolis.dnsalias.com/roller/page/lance/20030702#upgrade_roller_to_use_struts"> Lance) and Hibernate 2.0.1 (thanks to the Hibernate guys). I'm hoping that I might actually get some time to work on Roller in the next couple of weeks. I need to. The natives are getting restless, but I'm going to the beach and you can't stop me.
