Confusion over Dave Winer's rant
Dave Winer says, "So lighten up guys, enjoy life more, and don't bother fighting battles that you can't win. Make a contribution, do something positive, switch products if you want, but don't try to control what I say. It won't work." [Scripting News]
I'm horribly confused. This would be a lot clearer if I knew who was trying to control what Dave was saying. This whole line of commentary just seemed to come out of left field and the context of left field is still in left field. I'm not in left field and thus, my confusion.
Update: Dave Winer emailed to say that the reason that he doesn't provide too much context is that he doesn't want to give any more attention to the control freaks than they already have and that's good enough for me.

Adam Curry tries RCS Proxy
Adam Curry says, "I haven't been able to get it to work yet, but David Watson is cooking up some backlinking software that utilizes RCS and Radio in combo." First, thanks for the link Adam! Second, where did you have trouble? Does the basic GET work from your browser? I tried it here and got your referer data. The part that might be problematic in Radio is where the ctFollowRedirects parameter defines how many times the tcp.httpClient command is willing to follow redirects. In my case, running inside my firewall, no redirects are necessary. However, I don't believe it'll work outside my firewall without redirects. As a result of my configuration, I am unable to test the redirect parameter so I may have horked it up in the instructions. If somebody can verify this for me, please send email and I'll update the article. Thanks!
