Blogging RollerDave Johnson on blogging, open source and JavaROME v1.0 RC1 available for testing- July 31, 2008 I've been meaning to blog about this for a while now: thanks to Alejandro Abdelnur, the long awaited ROME v1.0 RC1 is now available for testing. I've already updated ROME Propono (changes in CVS only) to work with the new release and I've done some testing, but more is needed. I hope to test with Roller and with Blogapps once BarCamp RDU is over.

Here's some video from the just passed RTP Startup Weekend, we've got coworking sites popping up, and of course a blog to cover it all. That blog that Joe mentioned is new, NBC 17's 30threads.com, which launched last night at a very well attended blogger, beer and BBQ bash in the Edge Office coworking space in downtown Raleigh.

So far, I've been able to do everything I need to do by making a couple of changes in Roller's struts.xml and adding two new JSP pages -- no Java code required (yet). This screenshot shows two of the three screens I have created so far.http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/roller_mobile_with_iui RSS and Atom Reference Card- July 21, 2008 I wrote and illustrated a detailed reference card covering RSS 2.0, Atom, AtomPub and the MetaWeblog API for the DZone RefCardz project. The six page "card" includes diagrams of the elements in the feeds, a synopsis of AtomPub protocol and coverage of ROME -- the same stuff you'll find in my book RSS and Atom in Action. It's a free download, but you have to register with DZone.com to get it. While you're there check out the other reference cards they have. They've got some great ones,...http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/rss_and_atom_reference_card Test post from iPhone- July 18, 2008 Via Roller web UI. It's not the most pleasant experience, pinching and scrolling around to move from title to content and then down the page to find the post button, but you can post to Roller from an iPhone. Seems like you could throw together a pretty nice iPhone interface for Roller using iUI. Who needs Android, J2ME, etc. when you can just use the webhttp://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/test_post_from_iphone Sixteen days until BarCamp RDU 2008- July 17, 2008 Just a gentle reminder that BarCamp RDU 2008 is coming soon.
