to hell with long urls, he (could have) said

Simon Willison has a new url, much shorter and easier to remember than bath.something.uk/somethingsomething/blog.
And more pingback goodies.

I decided not to include pingback in b2 0.x, not because it couldn’t be done (I could do it the same way I did for trackbacks), but because I couldn’t be arsed typing in 0.x code anymore now that I’m in 1.x development.
Although anyone who can check b2’s CVS, understand how we handle trackbacks in b2 (see b2trackback.php and b2trackbackpopup.php, a trackback is basically a comment prefixed by a <trackback /> tag that’s stripped on display), and can code the required functions in xmlrpc.php to store the pingbacks as comments (prefixed by <pingback /> for example), anyone is welcome to code that and submit it for inclusion in b2.

Someone teach me how to write shorter sentences with fewer parenthesis.

Your comment may be moderated or considered as spam by the leprechauns running this server. If you get a 412 error or a mean message, it may be that they thought it was spam: try wording the comment differently or remind me to put up a contact form so you can warn me about the problem.
Of course, once the leprechauns are done doing their magic, I reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason.
