Enter the LizardFeeder

January 5, 2009 – 7:01 pm

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

October 17, 2007 – 3:22 am

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

April 29, 2007 – 11:06 pm

Yeah, things have been basically silent around here thanks to post-work brain fryage and a general lack of things to say. Really, everyone else around the blogosphere seems to be covering things satisfactorily. However, I have been idly working on a new project over the past few weeks, namely a total rewrite and [...]

Ficlets enhanced author feed, an XSL scraper hack

April 5, 2007 – 1:37 am

I’ve been trying to get myself serious about writing and even set up a personal slush pile for my output. Then, I found Ficlets, and spewed a few quick starter stories there. And then… I stopped. I’m hoping to pick it up again very soon, but I guess that’s the nature of [...]

Thoughts on Pipes on the Web – Part II

February 15, 2007 – 3:49 am

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

February 15, 2007 – 3:09 am

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 [...]

rss feeds of bookmarklets?

January 3, 2007 – 3:29 pm

Hmm, a quick idea: Has anyone yet tried making an RSS feed of bookmarklets? I’d use it by dragging it to the Firefox bookmark toolbar to get a drop-down menu of usable bookmarklets, dynamically generated by an online app. In particular, say I had an outline in XoxoOutliner, and I wanted to [...]

Vienna is now my weapon of choice for feeds

January 2, 2007 – 4:37 pm

In the last few days, I’ve switched news aggregators again – this time to Vienna. I’ve got a long, long, long history of doing this – partially because of my serial enthusiasm, and partially because none of the aggregators I’ve used so far have satisfied all of my itches. Some tie up my laptop in [...]
