Nathan Torkingon : "There are no clear signs that ... is anything but hot air."

There are no clear signs that ... is anything but hot air. As one person described it over beer, "everyone here is trying to find a bandwagon to get on". That said, everyone tried to get on the Internet bandwagon and there was a there there. Jon Udell said a deep thing (one of many) over beers: we're all hoping to see the Next Big Thing, but we may not see the Next Big Thing in our lifetime.

"I'm screwed and your doomed" or "Go home, Yankee imperialist running dog"

But seriously, the conversation was basically:



me : huh? why can't I have multiple language elements in the channel?



him : because you can't



me : that's kind of dumb. some of us speak, and blog, in more than one language 



him : add a language element to you item element



me : but the point is a) to be able to identify all the languages that  



     the document uses and b) you can already do this is in rss 0.91



     (though I'll be damned if I can find the webpage(s) where this was



    discussed now)



him : you're screwed then



I am feeling pretty prickly today so I am having trouble deciding if this is just staggeringly arrogant or myopic. Because, you know, it would fuck up all the description frameworks to have more than one shade of grey. I think, tonight, I will redirect every single RSS feed involved with aaronland over here.

In case you needed any more reasons to throw the RSS baby out with the bathwater,

apparently you're not allowed to publish your feed in more than one language. The RSS validator is otherwise pretty useful since it pointed out errors I might have noticed around the time that Hell freezes over. But on the language issue, I will not bend; validators be damned (I like to think that my contribution to RSS was lobbying to have multiple <language> elements added to RSS 0.91)
