Thanks Sam!

While I was enjoying a soccer double header with Alex and Linus playing back to back games, relaxing at Cupajoes, and rocking at a sold out Wilco show, Sam Ruby was doing my work for me. He dove right into the Roller source code and implemented the hard parts of the RFC 3229 "feed" instance manipulation method. Check it out: FeedDiff for Roller.

Blog vs. blog

I'm not sure why the Redhat exec team decided to respond to Jonathan Schwartz's post about OpenOffice.org instead of one of Schwartz's other Redhat jabs, but I would like to point out that the David Johnson who responded to Redhat is not me.

The Open Solaris conversation

I've been at Sun for only a couple of weeks now and I'm working remotely, but I can sense that Sun people are are very excited about the idea of an OSI licensed OpenSolaris OS, ecstatic even, and rightly so. You can see this excitement shining through the Sun blogs as individual bloggers take on mis-informed journalists, engage in point-by-point discussions with Linux advocates, or just rave about their favorite OS. My favorite posts so far are Analysts on OpenSolaris and Rebutting a rebuttal.
