Updated my personal site to use the Firefox/IE7 feed icons...
Friday, December 30, 2005As per the blog entry "Feed icons" and using icons pulled from the new feedicons site. Hopefully MSDN will follow suit as well, which would probably be pretty easy... it looks like they are mostly linking every instance of the 'old' RSS icon to the same graphic. I'll suggest it and we'll see what happens. [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
With all the press around 'Munich', I remembered seeing another movie about the same events...
Monday, December 26, 2005Turns out it was a TV movie (Sword of Gideon), but still... I'm surprised that it isn't mentioned in any of the reviews/articles about 'Munich' that I've read so far.... (IMDB info). Any one else seen the TV movie? [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -

Immediate Action Feeds
Friday, December 16, 2005Kent pointed me to this article on xml.com, talking about the benefits of having direct actions available as links in your feeds. This is a good idea, but it is a good idea for any HTML content. If you are going to have a link at the bottom of a MSDN page saying "give us feedback", it would be best to either make sure that link takes the user directly to a form to enter feedback or instead to let them enter their feedback right there on the page. Good stuff all around, but in the context of feeds [read more...]Share this -
I'm making a change... (a rambling post that contains some nuggets of information)
Friday, December 16, 2005I've recently accepted a job with the Channel 9 team (working for Jeff and working with Adam, Erik, Robert, and Charles), and ... because I'm mostly a one-job kind of guy, that means I have to stop working at MSDN. So, come January 16th, I'll be over in a new office at Channel 9, probably not coding anything yet as it always take a few days to get ramped up, connected to the right source trees, etc... This is quite a big move for me, even though it is still within Microsoft. I joined the company back in 1999, working [read more...]Filed under | 3 comments »Share this -
Beta versions of the MSDN home page now available...
Wednesday, December 14, 2005I've been working (as part of a large team!) on the new platform for MSDN, which is up and running at http://msdn2.microsoft.com... and now you can see prototype versions of the MSDN home page ontop of that same platform. Check it out here [http://beta.msdn.microsoft.com/default.aspx]. The new home page demonstrates some of the personalization/profile features that will end up on the final MSDN site in the near future. [read more...]Filed under | 5 comments »Share this -

application/rss+xml vs. text/xml
Monday, December 12, 2005I've been working on some feed support in MSDN's new online platform (a beta of which is running http://msdn2.microsoft.com) and I had to decide what content-type to use when outputting a RSS feed. I knew this was a contentious issue in the past, but I thought it might have been resolved so I did some browsing of specs and discussions and ended up with the following links: A discussion on Sam Ruby's blog around content-type (the comments are the interesting part) This post by Dave Winer I'm sure I could find more, but it appears this was never really resolved...
