Enter the LizardFeeder

Behind Firefox is Mozilla, and behind Mozilla is a community. And the Mozilla community acts a lot like an ecosystem, which can be visualized as a kind of living tree—not to confused with the mozilla-central tree. Oh yeah, and Mozilla is the name of both a Foundation and a Corporation. Confused yet? If [...]

OPML reading lists in FeedMagick2

For anyone who’s interested: I’ve been hacking a little bit on FeedMagick2 again, with the latest addition being an OPML reading list feed blender. What’s an OPML reading list? Basically, it’s the same as as OPML export of a feed reader’s subscription list – only rather than doing a one-time import into [...]

Say hello to FeedMagick2

Yeah, things have been basically silent around here thanks to post-work brain fryage and a general lack of things to say.

Thoughts on Pipes on the Web – Part II

In the last post, I expressed concern for my own well-being over a lack of head-over-heels love for Yahoo! Pipes. On the surface, I think it’s because it’s not a freshly discovered concept for me, and also probably because I’m tired and a bit hacked out right now. But, I think there’s a [...]

Thoughts on Pipes on the Web

By way of my meme tracker, I found something like 15 entries linking to Yahoo! Pipes from my feed subscriptions. That’s crazy — I’ve usually never seen more than 3-5 feeds linking to anyone thing, maybe as many as 8 if it’s something really hot. I read about it over morning coffee and [...]
