The connection between the server and the browser is in SOAP. The server is written in Python. I know it only runs in MSIE/Win, so here's a &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/images/2002/04/04/oddbrain.gif&quot;&gt;screen shot&lt;/a&gt;. It's not Java, it's DHTML, all done with divs and borders, according to Ethan. They came from &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2000/03/16/thanksEsther#6&quot;&gt;HalfBrain&lt;/a&gt;, via Adobe. Of course I encouraged them to do a user interface for weblogs using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://plant.blogger.com/api/index.html&quot;&gt;Blogger&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi&quot;&gt;MetaWeblog&lt;/a&gt; APIs. I also suggested they do a weblog because they're natural &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oddpost.com/photoOdyssey.html&quot;&gt;storytellers&lt;/a&gt;. Now something for their testimonials &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oddpost.com/testimonials.html&quot;&gt;page&lt;/a&gt;. &quot;It's really great to see software developers pushing the envelope for the pure fun of it. I totally look forward to their next innovation and the one after that.&quot;" created="Thu, 04 Apr 2002 23:01:04 GMT"/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://scriptingnewsarchive.userland.com/1998/04/04&quot;&gt;On this day four years ago&lt;/a&gt;, without any fanfare, &quot;XML-RPC&quot; was unveiled on Scripting News. All the links are 404's, proving that even then, and at all times inbetween, &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/images/2002/04/02/notworthy.gif&quot;&gt;Murphy&lt;/a&gt; ruled our world, and it's even worse than it appears. &lt;i&gt;Still diggin!&lt;/i&gt;" created="Thu, 04 Apr 2002 15:24:56 GMT"/>

At the time the conventional wisdom was that we were irrelevant because we didn't give away all our source and developed for a non-Sun platform. The religious issues faded, Java didn't &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/1999/09/12/anEndToTheUberoperatingSystem&quot;&gt;suck&lt;/a&gt; the whole world behind its closed walls, programmers still want to be paid, and the Mac persists, as does Windows. UserLand is still here. Remember that the next time a craze sweeps the software world. It's sure to happen, as it's just as sure that success requires a good idea &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; persistence.

		<outline text="Another cherished belief that this explodes -- weblogs &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; useful. The secret to the success of both SOAP and XML-RPC is the weblog. Mail lists stop when someone posts a flame or a challenge from left field. Weblogs keep on truckin. For example, &lt;a href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0101915/2002/04/03.html&quot;&gt;James Snell&lt;/a&gt; of IBM sneers at Sun for not joining the interop process. This makes me cringe. IBM didn't join the process (nor did the people he applauds) until long after it started. But the work can continue. It's just one blog. He can say whatever he wants, believe whatever he wants, and the work continues." created="Thu, 04 Apr 2002 15:30:45 GMT"/>
