Scripting News: Sunday, November 9, 2025

Sunday, November 9, 2025 My religion is Working Together otherwise known as interop. # WordLand is one of the few products that works hard to make sure that it has effective competition. It lays out a welcome mat for competitors. That's what DemoLand is all about. I think I finished it today, have to do another review, maybe two, before making it public. It is the opposite of a product that's meant to dominate. It's more like MacWrite , to fill a niche as an invitation to others to come play. Remember in the web, all parts are replaceable. # Linkblog items for the day But AI is not intelligent, it simulates intelligence. If you actually try to work wit it, you learn this eventually. nytimes.com This is the new frontier — AI impersonating users, without permission, by Google. Amazing this story isn't in all the big news orgs. scripting.com Most people detained by ICE are being housed in sprawling complexes in rural a...

Saturday, November 8, 2025 Screen shot of DemoLand a new thing I'm doing that shows a developer how to hook an editor up to WordPress using the same server I'm using for WordLand. If they do, our products will work on the same data, in Markdown of course. The user will get to use two different editors to work on the text. This is important because in the social network I'm imagining every part is replaceable. It takes work to make that real, but I have done the work. In this network the user will have choice of writing tools. Unlike products like Substack, for example, where you're forced to use their built-in editor. # I need to have my posts from scripting.com flow through the daveverse site, because the WordPress view of my writing is becoming more important. I find myself copy/pasting again, and I have to start viewing every one of those as a bug to fix. That might be the biggest mess of all of them, the idea that humans are intended to do ...

Friday, November 7, 2025 The kind of email I like to get. From Manton: "Just wanted to let you know that I added source:markdown to all Micro.blog-hosted RSS feeds by default this week. You can see it in my feed." That's one nice lookin RSS feed . He added: "NetNewsWire support was the last nudge I needed to add this." The Power of Brent. It's good to stay on Brent's good side. ;-) # ​AI changed the basic capabilities of computers. Some technologies will do fine in the new world, like SQL databases. But the stuff we do — that's going to change radically. Will anything be left? No one knows, imho. Best thing we can do is keep going on the path we were on, and look for ways to involve AI tech in a way that will bring the power of AI to writers. # The previous post appeared on my daveverse blog which is something I'm especially proud of because it's the result of a fantastic collaboration between my codebase and Matt...

Thursday, November 6, 2025 I went to NYC yesterday, drove both ways in the same day, which is a lot of driving. It was exceptional for me, two big cities in three weeks, Ottawa and New York. Had time to sit in Washington Square Park, then I rode a Citibike up to where I used to live near Columbus Circle. On the way I shot a video of a woman on West St with a sign that said Honk For Democracy. I thought it was a nice shot, and typically NYers drove right by her, no honking, unfortunately. I also shot a video in Washington Square Park . NYC is photogenic, interesting, and still where I come from, proudly. # I went to see a discussion between Matt Mullenweg and John Borthwick , two people from tech who I have worked with, but hadn't seen in a while. I wanted to chat with both of them, and did, which was well-worth the journey. I liveblogged it. My chat with Matt helped me understand what we're doing. One of the things we talked about is an idea I thought ...

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 I liveblogged a chat between John Borthwick and Matt Mullenweg tonight in NYC. # Don't forget the new WordPress News . # Every FeedLand timeline has a link to its OPML subscription list under the traditional white on orange XML icon . # To people who do WordPress plug-ins -- have a look at the feedlandSocket repo . It sends notifications of news items to any subscriber, via websockets. News items are simple JSON, and contain information in the feed item, and system info like id and when it was received. This makes it easy to stream news to a plug-in running in a WordPress site, that can then do anything with the news they like. It's incredibly simple to use, and we provide all the JavaScript code you need to embed in a browser-based app. Here's a place where you can ask questions. # New release of FeedLand , v0.7.9. It's a Node.js server app, using MySQL, and I think it's stable enough that I can start link...
