So the usual company sends a nice xmas card to their customers; the eccentric people at iChameleon Group decided to send out a candy cane smackdown xmas card instead. You can unleash your rage beating down the key people of our company with a candy cane.
It’s actually very funny. I know some of our clients were beating me for ten minutes when they got this email… j/k, not me, our project managers.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Happy holidays.
I took the liberty to completely rewrite blocCFC's ping component. I wrote a generic XML-RPC function, that takes pings and extended rpc pings, added a few more aggregators, and modified the timeout for the responses because they are not really important...
I tested every single aggregator and they all work except blo.gs ... but I left it in there because I think it may be temporary. You can ping now @technorati, @weblogs, @icerocket, @blogdigger, @yahoo, and @moreover
I also couldn't get feedster going ... you're supposed to ping http://api.feedster.com/ping, but it seems that the page has been moved or something; I’d appreciate if someone could provide any information on feedster.
I attached the modified ping.cfc to this post. I sent Ray the update, and thus far, he has been great by adding them to new releases.
Thanks again Ray!
You probably know how I love sys-con magazines, especially the CFDJ… now there’s a new player that you can’t miss: ADJ! There’s a new magazine out specialized on AJAX! How cool is that? The first issue will be out soon, but for now you can check out all the latest news at http://ajax.sys-con.com/
Enjoy.
Business software maker Oracle won permission from the European Commission on Thursday to buy rival Siebel Systems in a $5.8 billion deal.
Since January, Oracle has closed seven acquisitions, including its recently completed $10.6 billion hostile takeover of PeopleSoft.
If the deal closes, Oracle--the No. 1 database maker--will be running neck-and-neck with SAP to lay claim as the world's biggest CRM software seller, market researchers IDC and AMR have said.
