4. Power Line: Live-Blogging the State of the Union:

   The thing I always hate about these speeches is how they reveal the obsolescence of the concept of limited government. It's one damn program after another.

   Also, theirs is probably the best description of the social security problem I've seen:

   The real problem, of course, is the transition to a new system. This isn't the fault of the new system; it is what makes Social Security such a diabolically bad system. It's like a drug addiction; there is no convenient opportunity to terminate the program.

My site is down all the time. That's it, I'm moving :)

My site is down frequently, and Hosting Matters doesn't even bother to post notices in their forum any more when servers go down. I just resolved a weird issue with TextDrive last night^[1], so I'll probably move myself over this evening.

Footnotes:
[1]: having to do with how PHP using FastCGI handles configuration in .htaccess differently than PHP as an Apache module does... I still haven't found documentation on this to explain it, but TextDrive is awesome and lets you choose between the two, so while they use FastCGI by default, I'm using mod_php

Java RSS/Atom libraries

Java RSS/Atom libraries:

• Java.net: Rss and atOM utilitiEs (ROME). "ROME has been created by 3 Sun engineers [and] is a set of Atom/RSS Java utilities that make it easy to work in Java with most syndication formats".
• Informa: RSS Library for Java
• I wonder if Mark's universal feed parser works with Jython.
