Man do I wish I knew how to program better. I’ve been playing around with ways to publish a sort of daily ‘stream of conciousness’ page where I could instantly publish phrases, thoughts, links and so on in one contiguous stream. So I started block diagraming how I would go about doing it, kicking around various techniques and so on and it occured to me that the coolest thing would be to have it be possible to post via an instant messenger client, which in this case would have to be Jabber. The problem is getting it running would require my getting a number of things installed onto the server, including xerces and Xalan and so on, and put simply, I suck at getting things installed on linux, and even once I had everything installed I would still have to figure out how to parse the incoming xml from Jabber and…..and…and a lot of stuff I don’t know how to do. Still, I’m going to dig into this further, I really like the idea.
