I’ll be speaking about HTTP Caching and Cache-busting for Content Publishers at ApacheCon 2004 on November 17, 2004. This will be a revised version of the talk I gave at OSCON this summer with some new content and a better overall flow.

Westminster Leningrad Codex Tanach
I was reading YudelLine today and was intrigued by a pointer to The Internet Sacred Text Archive, and started following some links until I stumbled across the The Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) Tanach. It’s an incredibly well-annotated copy of the Hebrew Bible, and this online copy is easy to navigate. From a technological standpoint I’ve […]
Amy’s Kitchen Kosher Certification
I’ve often seen Amy’s Kitchen vegetarian frozen meals at supermarkets but haven’t purchased them in the past because they didn’t display a hekhsher. Ariella sent email on Sunday to ask if they’d consider getting rabbinic supervision and they replied back with some good news: Amy’s Kitchen’s Kosher certification is from Rabbi Dov Hazdan of Ner […]
Biking to work
I rode my bike to work today for the first time in 4 years. It felt pretty good. I really love that Italian steel frame. After staring at the Santa Clara Valley Bikeways Map for several hours, I decided to take Middlefield Road for most of the way, and then hop on the VTA Light […]

Palo Alto Green
We went to Mitchell Park last night to hear a jazz/swing concert and stopped by the Palo Alto Green Energy booth. We just moved in on Sunday and didn’t know that the municipal utilities offered a wind and solar energy program. So we signed up on the spot (and got 3 free compact florescent light […]
OSCON 2004 Sessions
I haven’t attended too many tutorials or sessions this year. Yesterday I saw Jim Winstead’s Practical I18N with PHP and MySQL and David Sklar’s Cleaning Up SOAP. Right now I’m sitting in Adam Trachtenberg’s PHP 5 + MySQL 5 = A Perfect 10. He quipped that it really should’ve been called PHP 5 + MySQL […]
HTTP Caching and Cache-busting for Content Publishers
Slides are now online (HTML, PPT) for today’s talk on HTTP Caching and Cache-busting for Content Publishers. Abstract: A user’s web experience can often be improved by the proper use of HTTP caches. Radwin discusses when to use and when to avoid caching, and how to employ cache-busting techniques most effectively. Radwin also explains the […]
OSCON 2004
I just arrived in Portland, Oregon. I’ll be speaking about HTTP caching and cache-busting at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention tomorrow. If the talk goes well, I’ll propose it for ApacheCon this fall. The conference hotel was all booked up by the time I made my travel arrangements, so I’m staying at the closest available […]
