Coming soon: RSS 1.0 feeds for the Fox community!
Worked out a proof-of-concept design and got them past the Feed Validator this evening for an RSS 1.0 feed for the FoxForum Wiki and the FoxCentral.net new sites to complement the 2.0 feeds I already have running at http://www.tedroche.com/RSSFeeds.html. An intermediate (read: kludge) design will get the feeds going, so I can get more Fox content into the blogosphere’s search engines. A new, sleeker, 2.0 design is my goal for unveiling at the Great Lakes Great Database Conference. It’s in the napkin-drawing stage now, but I’ve got some cool ideas for a multi-object collaborative design. More on that later. I’ll try to get beta 1.0 feeds up and running this week.

Keep reading those web logs, redux
I’ve been trying to delete the PRE-formatted code I was foolish enough to add to my blog for two days, and it won’t go away, even when I edit and save the message. So, I’ve deleted the message, and I’m reposting it here:
Keep reading those web logs. When’s the last time you read your weblogs? Besides for the daily default.ida exploits, I recently saw the far more colorful NULL.IDA exploit. Keep those machines patched and keep a close lookout, friends!
