Good IM, RSS, and FTP Software
• July 23, 2004 • Apple, Software, Syndication, Technology • 5 comments
It’s almost 2am, so I really need to get to bed. Before that, however, I’d like to share some really good new software I’ve come across lately. The first is Gaim. Gaim is an IM client for Windows/Linux that can log into AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, and others. I know that a lot of [...]

Have you ever wanted to create your own online RSS/Atom feed reader? Did you fiddle around with other solutions that just plain sucked? Did you try to use the awesome Magpie RSS, and just couldn’t get it to work like you wanted? Personally, I’m still fairly new to PHP, but I have a solid understanding [...]

Jumping Ship

I stumbled across a link for a CMS called WordPress today. With all of the rebuilding problems I’ve been having with Movable Type lately, I figured I’d at least take a look. From what I can tell, it’s a pretty solid system. There are a few blogs who use it, and I like the idea [...]
All Automated, All The Time

I recently posted that I was going to begin redesigning my site. Beyond just a change of colors and images, I wanted to create a more powerful underlying system. Movable Type offers a lot of options and features that are built-in to the CMS, but I get a few too many 500 errors to stay [...]
RSS/Atom Feed Changes
• February 12, 2004 • Software, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments
After doing some thinking and such, I’ve made some decisions about my syndication feeds. From now on, RSS 0.91 and RSS 1.0 feeds will contain summary posts, and the RSS 2.0 feed will contain full posts. That way, people can pick and choose which they want. My Atom feed contains both. It’s pretty simple, I [...]
Tweaking My RSS/Atom Feed Reader
• February 11, 2004 • Code, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments
I spent about five hours last night playing with my RSS Reader. I think I’m beginning to get the hang of some of this PHP stuff. Anyways, I’ve made some tweaks here and there to make iot a bit more friendly. The first thing I did was make it more error-friendly. If someone mistypes a [...]
The Power of Feedback
• February 2, 2004 • Code, Software, Syndication, Technology • No comments
I’ve been using the Feed Demon RSS reader since 1.0 rc4, which was around November-ish. I liked it so much, that when 1.0 went final in January, I bought a license. This was the first time I’d ever actually bought shareware, and it kinda made me feel good. Wierd. Anyways, the only real problem I [...]
