Parsing RSS At All Costs Mark Pilgrim writes for xml.com: “On average, at any given time, about 10% of all RSS feeds are not well-formed XML... There is also a technical solution to this problem: don’t use an XML parser.” Thu, 23 Jan 2003 03:12:59 GMT

What is RSS? Mark Pilgrim writes for XML.com: “It’s not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the ‘recent changes’ page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.” Thu, 19 Dec 2002 18:20:03 GMT

RSS Validator By Mark Pilgrim and Sam Ruby. Very cool. Now I have some place to send people when they email me asking why an RSS feed doesn’t work! I may even add a Validate this Feed command to NetNewsWire. Tue, 22 Oct 2002 17:02:57 GMT

Wrapping Web Service APIs O’Reilly: “There are many approaches to writing XML based web services: SOAP, XML-RPC, REST. If all you want to do is use a service, and there is a Python wrapper for it, you might not care what it was written in. Mark Pilgrim has wrapped the Google SOAP API. Load up his PyGoogle module and google away. The wrapper takes care of the SOAP for you.” Fri, 03 May 2002 16:30:08 GMT

DiveIntoOSX Mark Pilgrim: “This site is a repository of information for Mac OS X and OS X Server administrators. It is not a discussion forum, a bulletin board, or a place for topical Mac news. It is a wiki, free to all and freely editable by all.” Fri, 12 Apr 2002 16:49:48 GMT
