RE: pDNS pros and cons (was Re: [rdfweb-dev] PPD.replaces.PPD)

Coolio dudes - I'm gonna pass this long to the rest of the PeepAgg team
- by way of our mail list.

:-)

Just got back from a 4 hour Drupal tutorial with Jonas.

:-)

Time to change diapers and think about Drupal and Smarty templates.
Joel suggested not using Smarty - anybody else have an opinion on that?

Marvellous - sounds loosely related to Maciej's work with Bloom filters:

I know the feeling well...there's just so much that could be done if=20

Thanks.
Please keep me informed of how you're getting on - it does sound very=20
interesting indeed.

There are a couple of people I know of that are in the late beta stages=20
of Semantic Web Service tools, there might be potential for sharing of=20
notes/exchange of data I wonder if I could pass on your address? : Reto=20
Bachmann-Gm=FCr's, he's got n RDF/OWL-based RSS aggregator thing =
together=20
(http://www.gmuer.ch/), Geoff Chappell's got a search engine - better=20
not give you an address right now, they've not gone public yet (in the=20
next week,  he reckoned). You might also want to take a look at what=20
Semaview are doing with iCal/RDF data - that might be smushable too, and

Paul Cowles seems a nice bloke.
