WordPre.cio.us 1.01 released
Friday | December 22, 2006 | 11:58 pm
It’s a bugfix release — it should now handled UTF-8 characters properly.
The issue was in the Magpie layer, and if anyone’s wondering how to handle it in their code, the answer that seemed to work for me was:
define("MAGPIE_INPUT_ENCODING", "UTF-8");
define("MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING", "UTF-8");
$rss = fetch_rss($rss_url);

Moron of the week: Republican Mike Daniel
Sunday | July 23, 2006 | 9:45 am
From this Sundays’s AJC editorial page:
If you don’t have your photo ID, you should not be able to vote. Voting is a privilege, not a right. – Republican Mike Daniel, who voted at Dunwoody High School in DeKalb County
I’m no Constitutional scholar, but the 15th Amendment, 19th Amendment, 23rd Amendment, 24th Amendment, 26th Amendment and the Votings Right Act of 1965 pretty much make it clear that it is a right.
You’re free to have whatever opinion you want about Georgia voter ID issue, but at least get the facts right when you make an argument.

Amen! Can I get a witnes?
Publisher, be very, very afraid?
If it is true that there will always be middlemen, even on the Internet (and he makes some good points), then is it good news for traditional publishers, like newspapers? And, subsequently, is it bad news for bottom-up publishers like independent bloggers
