		<outline text="I talked with my dear friend Gretchen Dianda today, she's got a new job at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnet.com/cnettv/0-1519376.html&quot;&gt;CNET Radio&lt;/a&gt;, and she loves it. She played some of her tapes, giggling all the time. So cool, years ago she was the helicopter reporter for KGO covering earthquakes and mass murders, stuff like that. Hey it's wonderful to see my friends getting back on their feet. Gretch lost a lot in the dotcom bust, but her spirit came back alive and kickin. That's the cool thing about people, we're good at moving on. There's hope for San Francisco."/>
		<outline text="I also talked with &lt;a href=&quot;http://tuxedo.org/~esr/&quot;&gt;Eric Raymond&lt;/a&gt; this morning for the first time. It was a good chat. We have a two-step plan. First, he's going to help get XML-RPC baked into the distribution of his favorite scripting language. I'm not going to get into the politics there only to say that I &lt;i&gt;obviously&lt;/i&gt; think it's a good idea. Then I'm going to write a spec that describes a simple SOAP-and-XML-RPC-based membership system and per Eric's request, license it as open source. Then we're going to work at getting it deployed in a lot of places. This is the beginning of a new level of working together. It's good it's good."/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oreilly.com/news/deathofdotcom_0601.html&quot;&gt;Shelley Powers&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;In February I returned to Boston from a vacation in Tucson. I ended up taking three different flights and was very tired when I got home. I walked through the door of my apartment and was immediately met with the news: my employer, Skyfish.com, had closed its doors.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2001/07/09/miguelDeIcaza&quot;&gt;This morning&lt;/a&gt; a rewrite and rename of yesterday's piece. I had to cut a lot to get to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2001/07/09/miguelDeIcaza#conclusion&quot;&gt;point&lt;/a&gt; more quickly. If you're a member of a non-Microsoft scripting community, your environment can be boosted to .NET-competitive status simply by making SOAP 1.1 and XML-RPC a standard part of the install. There's no reason to switch or freeze or wait. "/>
