Temporarily Filling A Hole In The Blogosphere.

Paolo is also going through Dave-withdrawl, so he's suggested that we all try to fill the void until Dave returns. His idea is to create a place where Everybody Blogs It, "it" being anything from "get well Dave" messages to "anything else you think that might interest other members of the community. Give it a whirl!

Question: is there a way to pipe the get well comments on John Robb's site to the blog?

[The Shifted Librarian]

To answer to this last question I went to The Shifted Librarian site to post a funny comment like "Yeah, I could use cut'n'paste-rpc".

As I opened the comments, there already was a comment by Dane Carlson who had already generated an rss feed from John Robb's blog using a tool that *we* have developed: RssDistiller. I had not thought of using it.

The comments from John site are now automagically routed to the http://everybody.blogs.it site trough a filter running on Dane's PC. Please, notice that this is happening between people who have never met, sitting on different side of oceans, using less than $120 of software!!!

An idea to use some of the free time that we have since we can't read Scripting.com, while waiting for Dave to get better.

Here is an update on my friend and boss Dave Winer.   He is in the hospital and will remain there until next weekend.   To those that are sending notes, he should be OK, but in the meantime send positive healing thoughts in his direction.  He will be providing more details when he is able.

This explains it.

Dave, get well soon!

This may sound silly, but I'm a little concerned that Dave hasn't updated Scripting News in over 48 hours. That is unlike him. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]

I agree. It does sound silly, but I'm concerned too...
