After discussing how suprglu sucks with Chip last night, I put in the effort to switch over to a different feed splicer: planet planet, kind of recommended by Simon Phipps…I’m using the python version. Maybe the Roller port is better. I’ll probably test out Planet Roller by creating a planet for my Work Alumni Network. You know, that group of friends and co-workers who always end up working at the same places, your social-network Katamari Damacy.
Everything will stay the same as far as the DrunkAndRetired.com feed and site go. But, the feed should be updated hourly with items spliced in from flickr, del.icio.us, PeopleOverProcess.com, and DrunkAndRetired.com. I also switched over the moribund CoteIndustries.com to display the HTML version of this splicing.
In summary: updates to the DrunkAndRetired.com will be faster, and you don’t need to do anything.
Also, if you’re in the same multi-blog, multi-feed situation I am, I recommend planet planet (or Planet Roller?). It requires some coder know-how — running python and creating cron jobs — but it works well.
eh.
woe betide the college student who has loved programming since he first got a computer at age 12 and was shocked at how lousy the java language was, especially at first. imagine his horror when he realizes that he’s been hurting himself by using nice languages like lisp, ruby, ocaml, smalltalk, and python instead of java – he gravitated towards languages that challenge the programmer to write elegant, beautiful, brief, robust code. to him, biologically inspired pattern recognition and optimization technologies were much more concrete and exciting than the meaningless term “data mining.” imagine his chagrin when he learns that people rejected JIT compilation and virtual machines in smalltalk in the 1980s but enthusiastically embraced it in the next decade.
woe unto him, that poor bastard.
i hate java and the corporations who have a vested financial interest in everything j2ee-related being complex for complexity’s sake.
p.s. GOOG is still way the fuck overvalued. cheers.
Well, thanks for the comment ;) Got a URL?
