You know what we need in Roller, MoveableType, Radio, Blogger, etc. is a "standard" for our data stores. How sweet would it be to be able to move your site from Roller to Radio without writing an import/export tool. The quick and dirty solution is to write a bunch of import tools for Roller, but the best idea is to unite the weblogging community into creating a common database schema, or whatever it may be.
I decided to start installing Red Hat 8.0 with disc's 1 and 2 - and hopefully 1) I won't need disc3, or 2) it'll be done downloading by the time I do. The coolest part so far - they actually have a test at the beginning so you can test your CDs. What a lifesaver - I've installed Linux many times and found out on disc2 that my CD or iso image was bad.
I found the weblog of the Executive Director of the Jabber Software Foundation. I'll be adding this to my daily-reads list.
I began downloading the RedHat 8.0 ISO's last night at about 2 a.m. and woke up to
find disc1 and disc2 finished! Took 5 hours for each - you gotta like high speed internet access!
Companies that sell high speed internet should advertise this. For instance,
my provider mho.net should have this on their hompage.
Wireless High-speed Internet!*
400x Faster Than a Phone Line!
Up to 1Mbps download speeds!
Always on Internet connection!
*Free Linux distributions and MP3's ARE included.
Too bad the disc3 download dropped it's connection and now I have to get that one today.
