A Reasonable Blog War?!

Writing about web page http://blog.reindel.com/2007/09/13/i-will-never-support-the-semantic-web/

Through the programming reddit I found Brian Reindel’s post about the Semantic Web. The very first comment on this is James Simmons’ letting Brian know that he had written a blog post in response. Brian then responded in James’ comments.

I’m not hugely interested in the Semantic Web, but it’s a refreshing change to see a reasoned debate about an issue, as opposed to the mud slinging matches that are often found online.

Measuring Activity on Planet WUGLUG

Follow-up to Activity on Planet WUGLUG from The Utovsky Bolshevik Show

Having posted this earlier, I decided that historical statistics would be a good idea. An afternoon of wrestling with gnuplot and a hacky Python script later has left me with this graph which should update at 5 minutes past every hour (as the planet updates on every hour).

There’s also http://oddbloke.uwcs.co.uk/planet/stats which gives the latest count and http://oddbloke.uwcs.co.uk/planet/history which is what the graph is generated from.

Warwick Blogs URLs

I’ve noticed while writing my ‘Bible In A Year’ blog posts that Warwick Blogs appears to have a rather interesting way of dealing with name collisions.

My very first post, in which I declared my intentions, had the URL: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/dwatkins/entry/the_bible_in/

The first of my posts containing a reading had the URL: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/dwatkins/entry/the_bible_in_1/

The second had the URL: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/dwatkins/entry/the_bible_in_1_2/

The third had the same with _3 appended.

And the fourth and most recent: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/dwatkins/entry/the_bible_in_1_2_3_4/

It makes me wonder what the URL of my last reading will look like…
