And here is Matt's macro. An espresso for you too. Two different implementations, both great.
Here you can find the Radio macro provided by Mikel. Thanks again. Here's your coffee.
I don't know exactly whom should I send the request to, so I'm posting it here.

Most of posts that I write have a bunch of links. Usually I write the post first, then I add the links. Adding links usually implies:

  1. Running a search on google
  2. Copying the url of the page I want to link
  3. Creating the link in the post

Something like 95% of the times, the link I'm looking for is the first match in the google's results page. Type any person name and his/her weblog are going to be the first hit. Type any product or company name, and the product or company sites are going to be the first hit.

Now... guess what I want?

Yes, I want to write in my post something like "link:Dave Winer" and have it replaced in my post with Dave Winer in my post.

Isn't it what Google's API are for? Let me know as soon as the feature is available. Thanks.

PS: less than 20 minutes later I have the macro running, thans to Matt Mower (this link has been generated with the new "googlami" macro).

PPS: 25 minutes later I have TWO macros, thanks to Mikel Maron.

What did I tell you about the blogosphere? This is just great!

This morning I installed on our intranet server PHP iCalendar. It's a quite powerful PHP application that renders calendars published with iCal. Installing the application is quite easy even if you, like me, have no clue about PHP. One of the most interesting features is that all calendars are also rendered as RSS feeds. This means that my co-workers calendars are now aggregated with my news every hour. Cool.
One year ago today I opened this weblog.

Yesterday I went trough the last 12 months of posts. I didn't read them all, but... well, I saw my life passing before my eyes.

There are some posts that I wrote about one year ago that look like they could have been written yesterday while others belong to a very distant past, when my company and my life were different, we had other projects, other dreams.

A lot of stuff has happened since them, good and bad.

Among the good thing, I must say that weblogging in the last year has been a great experience, more than 61,000 "unique visitors" came on these pages, more than 1,5 millions hits. I have met a lot of incredibly smart people in the blogosphere and some have become friends.

A warm thank you to everybody for this wonderful year.
