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.

You can also donate yourself.

Microsoft announced the launch of their own free hosted blogging service – MSN Spaces. They do not offer API at this moment, so you can’t use BlogJet to post to Spaces.

Today doctors discovered that it was not chickenpox that hit me on September — it was some sort of viral hemorrhagic fever with kidney failure. Luckily, I almost recovered, while 5 of 100 people dies of this fever. 

The virus is carried in rodent reservoirs, so I wonder if it was my computer mouse who infected me  Anyway, now I try to use touchpad instead of mouse since I bought a laptop to code BlogJet while lying in bed. The new version — BlogJet 1.2 beta — will be available this or next week.

Wow. I never expected Green Day would put out an album as great as this. I've been listening to it practically non-stop for three days.

Wow x 2. I never expected Nick likes Green Day too . Didn’t I said that I was the creator of the most popular Russian websites about Green Day a few years ago?
