I’ve noticed in some RSS that they use relative URLs, it works fine for the website but it make no sense when we talk about feeds. Imagine you link “download/somefile.zip”, from a desktop feedreader you’ll get a link like this “file:///C:/…./download/somefile.zip” while it should be linked to the website.
Two cases to avoid this problem :
Christian Stocker posted slides of his XSLTAL talk . TAL is the main templating language used in the Zope world and belongs to the larger concept of Zope Page Templates and XSLTAL is the transformation of the TAL template engine to XSLT.
The talk itself was hopefully interesting and XSLTAL will be useful for some or it was at least an inspiration to some common problems
Bertrand announced also the immediate availability of XSLTAL in Cocoon 2.1.x. Cool, even more people can now use XSLTAL very easily.
Great news, I’ve see it before but neve have the occasion to use it. If you’re a Zope user it will be very easy to transform templates from TAL to XSLTAL, and it will be easier for php dev. I’ll try to benchmark it to see performance compared to others templating engines in the next days.
WebDevRadio posted its first podcast, it cover a few new products/programs which may make your life a bit easier, and cover future topics. Thoughts on AJAX, Web services, internationalization, XP, performance, unit testing and more
I remember I send Quraan translations years ago to a friend in
arabeyes, but I can’t find a copy today. Anyaway I’m just using the XML file
from Arabeyes (Arabic version). Then I’m trying to see for translations, tafsir
… etc. I found an English XML version of Tafsir Quraan in a wiki. I was
interested coz I read in the XML "A Summarized Version of At-Tabari,
Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir with comments from Sahih Al-Bukhari By Dr. Muhammad
Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali, Ph.D. Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan" but have a look what
I have found at first parse :
parsed (115 Surah) / 114 and (6372 Ayah) / 6236
Wallahi I was leaving my pc and don’t know how I opened BlogStreet.com to see their SQL queries :
insert into rssitems (rsskey,title,link,description,htmldesc,time,sort)
values
(57303,’********’,'*********’,'********* ‘,’*********.’,1120941538,294)
How to simulate this, just go to any website that link to BlogStreet.com and then click on the profile link, simple and easy. This website used to do what Technorati is doing now, but it have just 102855 blogs indexed (not really). And this is a Ping so you can see me and see your Bug to fix it 
PHP Podcast is doing really great job (until now) hope it continue and get real support. This is already the #5 Episode
In today’s episode, Chris talks a bit about PEAR and the XML-RPC bug, the discussion of a String object in PHP, the new SecurityFocus newsletters from the PHP Security Consortium, Wez adding native prepared statement support to PDO, Why PHP doesn’t suck, and a new article from OpenEnterpriseTrends.com that talks about PHP developers looking more at ASP.NET.
[[lists:thingsyoucandowithrss]] is a very complete list of things you can do with RSS.
Just don’t stop your imagination, the list is more large than that. I’ve underlind things that I’ve already done before or still doing with RSS 
A bunch of popular PHP-based blogging and content management apps are vulnerable to a security hole in the PHP libraries handling XML-RPC, which could allow a server compromise. Affected apps include Wordpress, Drupal, PostNuke, Serendipity, phpAdsNew, phpWiki and many more. The presence of the security hole in a large number of programs is among the factors leading the Internet Storm Center to warn that the environment is ripe for a major Internet security event
PEAR XML_RPC 1.3.1 have been just released to fix a security bug.
PEAR XML_RPC is vulnerable to a very high risk php code injection vulnerability
due to unsanatized data being passed into an eval() call. Let us have a look at
the code that allows the vulnerability to present itself.
