Other Stuff Blog

Congratulations to the winners of Indibloggies 2004. Three of them received their copies of BlogJet as prizes yesterday.

Google implemented the way to prevent comments from spamming. Yahoo! and MSN followed.

BlogJet today received “100% clean” award from Softpedia:

This software product was tested in the Softpedia labs on: 09 January 2005

Softpedia guarantees that BlogJet 1.5 is 100% CLEAN, which means is does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to: spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.

Please, if you made, make or going to make software which works with dates in ISO 8601 format, remember this:

1. YYYYMMDDThh:mm:ssTZD
2. If it has Z in the end: 20050109T01:44:10Z then the time is UTC.
3. If it has a timezone in the end: 20050109T04:44:10+03:00 then the time is local time.
4. The time on your server is not necessary the UTC time.
5. Test it with different time zones!

Thanks for your attention. Have a nice rewriting.

Sorry everybody, I forgot to update release notes  – they were for the previous version. Now they’re updated.

Six Apart, makers of Movable Type and TypePad, bought LiveJournal. Great news, guys. I hope that they will enhance LiveJournal’s support for blogging APIs.

Dear BlogJet users, Happy New Year! I wish you luck, and hope you’ll be with us in 2005 year. Thank you!

In response to the disaster in Asia, all revenues earned this week from our products will be donated to the Red Cross.
