I’ve really got to reiterate / call out a few points from that last entry: I ❤ making feed scrapers, although they’re sometimes a pain. I ❤ Microformats, for making scrapers easy. I ❤ Ficlets for using Microformats and making it easy for me to use their site as an API using just XSL and HTTP GET. I’d love [...]

Ficlets enhanced author feed, an XSL scraper hack
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 [...]
