Rory’s Another Simple Syndication

[ Editor’s note: the following post has been edited so that it can make it thru the toughest corporate firewalls]

If you read my blog, and don’t subscribe to Rory’s then what are you waiting for?  Did you read Rory’s post on his solution to the RSS versus ATOM fight that has been going on for what seems like forever?    If you haven’t done that yet, go there and then come back to this post.  It's alright the post will still be here when you come back.

Alright, I’ll assume that if you got this far you’ve read his post.

Why did Rory wait until well after the PDC to come up with this great idea?  He could have dropped this bomb at the Blogger Birds Of a Feather session, and saved us from the ATOM versus RSS fighting that went on instead of discussion stuff like why we blog.  Maybe Rory had a problem hearing himself think since I kept yelling “Give Clemens another beer”.

Maybe Rory actually come up with this idea before the PDC, and since he is concerned that people think he is gay, so he probably didn’t want to see the following in the PDC’s Birds Of a Feather list:

BOF Rory’s Another Simple Syndication

If they held that session who would [edited for stupidity]?

If Rory donated his idea to the community and made it everyone’s format, would you have to change the session title to:

BOF Your Another Simple Syndicaton


I guess it is time to clean up all the coffee I spewed over my desk while reading Rory’s post.

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
