<p><strong><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-ObjectDriver/lib/Data/ObjectDriver.pm">Data::ObjectDriver</a></strong></p> Benjamin Trott’s Perl ORM, with built in support for both caching and data partitioning. I think this is what Six Apart uses for Vox. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ben-trott">ben-trott</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/orm">orm</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/perl">perl</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scaling">scaling</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sixapart">sixapart</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/vox">vox</a></p>

<p>The Pingback 1.0 specification is getting some serious attention. <a href="http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/09/23.html#now_heavily_medicated" title="Now heavily medicated">Mark Pilgrim</a> and <a href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2002/09/24#When:8:14:24PM" title="Form opinion">Dave Winer</a> have linked to it. Ben Trott (co-author of Moveable Type and creator of TrackBack, the system that inspired Pingback) has <a href="http://www.stupidfool.org/archives/2002/09/000211.shtml" title="Pingback">objected</a> to Hixie's <a href="http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1032794857&amp;count=1" title="Pingback 1.0">suggestion</a> that Pingback is more transparent than TrackBack, claiming that TrackBack could be made just as transparent by the right blog tools. Ben <a href="http://www.stupidfool.org/archives/2002/09/000212.shtml" title="More on PingBack and Transparency">blogged</a> some further thoughts which lead to the following comment by Phil Ringnalda:</p> <blockquote cite="http://www.stupidfool.org/archives/2002/09/000212.shtml"><p>I've avoided saying anything about PingBack until now, since I like and respect the people who've developed it, but it is *not* TrackBack. When you send a TrackBack ping, you are saying "I responded to this, and I think that your readers would also like to read what I said." You are leaving a remote comment. When you send a PingBack ping, you are saying "I linked to you", nothing more. It's a "show referrers" script that filters out non-weblog referrers, a way to avoid having to click your own links to be sure you send a referrer. It is *not* TrackBack.</p></blockquote> <p>This is an interesting perspective, but I can't agree with it completely. Firstly, Pingbacks are meant to be sent by blogging tools. If you have blogged a link to someone else's entry you are linking to them for a purpose (which is almost certainly some form of comment on their entry) - this is why my Pingback implementation grabs an extract of their page from the text surrounding the link.</p> <p>michel v has some <a href="http://tidakada.com/archives/p/1876/more/1">further thoughts</a> on the differences between Pingback and TrackBack.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ben-trott">ben-trott</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dave-winer">dave-winer</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hixie">hixie</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mark-pilgrim">mark-pilgrim</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/phil-ringnalda">phil-ringnalda</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pingback">pingback</a></p>
