Although I am usually loathe to say anything about television

in this space, I feel it is important to point out to Americans that, despite what their televisions may tell them, Ontario does not border Vermont. If it makes you (Americans) feel any better, I went to visit my high school History teacher, a couple years ago, and he told me his then students were saying that Mexico was directly south of Canada...

Dear Apple : "There are a lot of us perl programmers out here

who'd love to bring our applications to Mac OS X. Rumor has it that Apple can bridge Perl to Cocoa, much like the Java to Cocoa bridge, and were that to become available to us, we'd find it enormously useful. We realize that adding it as a "supported API" would be a big deal, so we won't even ask for that (although it obviously would be cool). If you could somehow donate the Perl code you have for this to the community, then we already have a group of talented people who'll be happy to maintain it. Mac OS X already has very good Perl support and with a Cocoa to Perl bridge there would be no end of cool applications for X we would make."

Me : weblogUpdates.xsl 0.3

This version allows a user to define variables for the number, and timespan, of units/lists to display. For example, weblogs.com displays 3 1-hour lists; the example [below] displays 3 10-minute lists. Next up, some kind of hack to import a list of user-defined weblogs to watch for and a filter to ignore all others. see also fetch-weblogUpdates (src)
