Feed Description: I've been inescapably tagged as "the Java guy", despite the fact that I havn't worked in the Java product organization for a couple of years (I do still kibbitz). These days I work at Sun's research lab about two thirds of the time, and do customer visits and talks the other third. For more detail...
The dates and times in the Roller
version of my blog are
accurate! Except that I cheated: the dates are actually in the body of the
entry that BlogEd publishes to Roller - I whacked my blog template to get
rid of the dates that come from Roller. The only way this cheat is visible
is in the calendar on the side: if you click on dates you see the dates
that Roller understands, rather than the accurate dates.
The problem ended up being with the metaweblog API and its realization
in Roller: while Roller allows the publication date to be set manually
through a web page, there's no access to that through metaweblog. Which
leads to all the
thrashing about other blog APIs, like Atom.
I'm so looking forward to something that works...
