Link fest

Chris was nice enough to link to me and some of the latest highlights.  Thanks Chris!

Here are some answers to some of his questions:

  • JoeBlogger does, by default now, produce XHTML compatible output.  I don't have it saving out <xhtml:body> to the RSS feed yet.  I'll get around to that eventually.  Please download it and play with it and let me know what you think!
  • I got no problem with people linking to stuff that I mirror.  Just link to me and send me the flow!
  • I am working in the same group that is doing the Longhorn desktop compositor.  If you look at these videos here from WinHEC (a Japanese site, no less!), you can see KerryHam's hands.  Kerry is one of the PMs in our group and, now that she is an internet celebrety, we are going to start up the Kerry fan club -- alt.fan.kerry.  Let me know if you want to join.  I'm working to help design (along with a bunch of others -- ChrisAn included)a set of APIs that we haven't made public yet.  Stay tuned for the PDC to see what I'm doing.
  • I don't hate all New York.  It is too big a place for that.  I definitely don't like the Yankees, though.  A while ago I read an article in the NY Times Sunday Magazine that basically said, "Why is Washington, DC, the capitol of the US when everyone knows that NY is the true center."  I guess that a few experiences like that has tained me.
  • I'm really excited about the server and what we can do with it.  For instance, I'd love to have a real CVS server.  (GDN workspaces only lets you check out one file at a time and SourceForge isn't very MS friendly...) I know someone else who (I think) is doing something similar to my co-op idea, but I don't want to "out" him.  If anyone has experience doing this stuff, I'm all ears.  This could  become a pretty popular model for stepping up from a regular web hosting type account.
