Hey Kids, Don't!

Don't build your own scripting language.

First there's the Web frameworks. And now this.

This build your own scripting language thing must be stopped, right now!

We have more than 200 of them already.

Write some decent applications, would you?

Applications! Applications!! Applications!!!

You know, something that one can click on and get some work done or have some fun.

Bloglines.com Adds Ping Support

Now my posts will show up there the minute I push the Publish button.

Ping Away, Bloggers

Here ye, here ye... Bloggers & publishers, Bloglines can now accept pings directly from you in two ways. Read more at http://www.bloglines.com/services/api. If you already ping Ping-O-Matic, or if your blog is hosted with LiveJournal, TypePad or MovableType, no need to lift a finger. We've already got you covered.

Bloglines readers, you too will benefit. Blog posts from publishers who choose to ping us will show up within minutes, sometimes seconds, of being posted.

- Your Bloglines Team

And I'll find out if it works.

[Update] No. It didn't seem to work.

[Update] Giving it another try at Fri Apr 28 22:05:07 CDT 2006

[Update] Silly me, Pebble doesn't seem to send out a ping when I update an entry. The real test will come when I post the next entry.
