RSS Craze
Thursday, June 17th, 2004When I do a lot of things, I go through the phases. Like dinner for instance, I go through the noodles phase, rice & stir fry phase, spaghetti phase, etc. Well, on the technical side, I’m going through the RSS phase. It started with a discovery of the convenience RSS brings. Find the RSS feed I like, and just drop it in the aggregator, and I’m done. Neato!
Then came the re-build stage. When certain aggregated announcement site took a plunge recently, I decided, I will make my own script, so 1) the stuff I create with Froth-Bite will be on our own feed; 2) to take the data displayed at another web site (baka-updates.com), and create my own feed. Both of them were pretty simple task, and the effect is great. I love doing the simple programming that simplify the life.
