That Maholo search is nice but it looks like it will be a race between them and http://www.spock.com/ Guess I'll have to use both until there is a winner! See you in Chicago. pretty cool, thanks for the links. oh and thanks for giving me something todo in between meeting lol.

I signed up a few days ago and it is a lot of fun. The discussion threads in the Greenhouse are really hot and Mr. Calacanis is an active participant.

Which can’t happen if Kramer is no longer being actively updated.</blockquote> Kramer is GPL, open source. Anyone who has time to dig into the Technorati API a smidge can fix the date issue pretty quickly and distribute the fixed version. Note I said anyone who has time... Work commute and child care are 13 hours daily, plus 2 full weekend days of child care a month when my wife works, and sharing child care duties the remaining weekend days. On top of this I'm moving 8 sites to new servers before the end of the month, trying to put together my audition video for "The Next Food Network Star", maintaining three other sites, and preparing for out of town guests who will kill all my spare time next weekend. So do I have time to dig into the Technorati API anytime soon? No. But I hoped that providing that analysis of what's causing the problem might encourage one of your other readers who knows PHP to pick up the ball and carry it the rest of the way. Still, if you don't mind the timestamp being the time that the script ran instead of the timestamp Technorati provides, I can have you a fixed version by Monday.

So if you want Kramer fixed, someone needs to sync it up with whatever changes Technorati made to their API, or get Technorati to unbreak Kramer by backing out those changes so the date is in the format that used to work well with Kramer.

The only place it formats timestamps into date strings is in a header and in a log it writes. The date it puts into the database seems to be extracted in plaintext from XML it receives from Technorati. Because it's either receiving "December 31, 1969 3:58 p.m." or "-120" from Technorati (negative 120 is the Unix timestamp for 12/31/69 15:58:00).

It's interesting to note that while you seem to be indicating you're against the term POSH, you're actually listed on the POSH site as someone who has advanced the state of POSH.... in fact, this is apparently a POSH blog. Semantic HTML? I reckon so. Plain? Surely not! ...and on that note I'll be tactful and exit quietly :-) Hmm.

Tartans == Web 3.0, that made me <strong>laugh</strong>. Thanks for that. As a new resident of the tartan happy province of Nova Scotia, I predict Web 3.0 will be very popular here in the Maritimes. There's a guy in the local farmer's market doing it the old-skool way: hand-painting them, along with family names, on wood strips from old apple barrels. Ah, I needed that laugh, good one. Ha!
