remote post Thoughts

remote post should function almost exactly like Trackback does right now, with one or two major exceptions:


  1. A remote post ping would send the entry in its entirety, not just the excerpt

  2. A remote post ping may have an additional field to transmit: a ComeBack link

The need for a ComeBack link depends on whether or not I decide to go ahead and implement ComeBack auto-discovery, which should be easy enough to do once I get off my lazy butt.

Was thinking maybe there's a site out there where you could post your thoughts instead of losing them as others take their place before they're recorded.

I mean, doing all those things simultaneously. And it does feel like a lot . Stop. Can we have you watching the letters as they appear, but not interfering of course, like those wired up teen-agers. How many loads of crap do they have to throw at each other...
OK. Tired. will now post this.
My e-mail is there, so yeah, react. I got a lot to tell you, show you too. Yes, I mean fishbowl. Yes I do mean it.
Ciao
