<p>I spent a while today over at <a href="http://brentashley.blogchat.com/">Brent Ashley's blog</a> chatting away on BlogChat. BlogChat is Brent's impressive <acronym title="Dynamic HyperText Markup Language">DHTML</acronym> chat system (backend in <acronym title="PHP: Hypertext Proprocessor">PHP</acronym>, front end via <a href="http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/main.htm" title="JavaScript Remote Scripting">JSRS</a>) which allows anyone visiting his blog to talk to him (and other visitors) in real time, provided he is online to host the session. During the afternoon I got to talk to people from all over the world, all with similar interests because they all had the same taste in blogs. I am hoping to install a version of Brent's system on this site in the not-too-distant future.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/php">php</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/brent-ashley">brent-ashley</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.ashleyit.com/blogs/brentashley/archives/000388.html#000388">Brent Ashley explains K-Logging</a>. K-Logging is Knowledge Logging, a technique that companies can use to help share knowledge built up over the course of a project. Generally it involves the use of blogging style tools to informally record every part of a project. Brent also points to <a href="http://dijest.editthispage.com/klogs/deadlykmsins" title="Klogging vs. the 11 Deadly KM Sins">this article</a> explaining 11 common <acronym title="Knowledge Management">KM</acronym> problems and how K-Logging helps overcome them.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/blogging">blogging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/brent-ashley">brent-ashley</a></p>

<p>Brent Ashley: <a href="http://brentashley.blogchat.com/archives/000373.html#000373">JSRS2.1 Released</a> (from June 10th - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20020921023306/http://www.ashleyit.com/blogs/brentashley/archives/000373.html">Internet Archive copy</a>). JSRS is Javascript Remote Scripting, an incredibly powerful javascript library that allows DHTML pages to communicate with a web server without having to reload the page. This latest version fixes POST suport for Mozilla. The library opens the way for a whole host of interactive web applications without the normal limitations caused by the request-and-response nature of the web. Best of all, JSRS is cross platform (at least for Mozilla, NS4+ and IE4+).</p> <p>Brent actually has two implementations available. <a href="http://ashleyit.com/rs/jsrs/test.htm">JSRS</a> uses DHTML elements (such as hidden iframes) to make RPC calls to the server, while <a href="http://ashleyit.com/rs/rslite/">RSLite</a> is an ultra lightweight version that uses cookies for communication (and even works on Opera!). Both implementations are free and come with source code, as well as example server side implementations in a variety of languages including ASP and PHP.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ajax">ajax</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/brent-ashley">brent-ashley</a></p>
