Jeff's started teaching in Prague and his early observations indicate that the tech culture is about the same as he experienced in the US. Hmm...

Jabber Web Page Presence In Perl
I've been looking for a way to handle displaying my jabber presence via a web page for a while. DJ Adams talks about jabber presence and perl in this article. I basically started with his headline delivery perl script and stripped it down to just the presence stuff. I use a surrogate user to subscribe to my presence so that the presence can be queried from the web page. You can see my stripped down script here, only 54 lines of code! My HTML page is using javascript to make the CGI call and in turn the CGI script uses javascript to write back into the calling document. The output is visible in the navbar on the right side of the page that you are reading. I would hope that it could be done with less code but this is working for now, so I'll wait to discover new and better ways. If you've got any, please post them here.

Max Dornseif Has Trackback Server Working In Radio
I received a comment on my blog this morning from Max Dornseif. He's got the standalone Trackback server from Movable Type working in Radio. I'm pinging on this entry to check it out. Great work Max!
I especially like it when the community routes around the person who's dragging his feet to prevent interoperability from happening. Awesome!
Update: Max has even more nifty automagic trackback coming soon. Holy Macarel. That's what I call prolific!
