Nerd.
Is it just me, or is something going on with Reddit or Google Reader? I tested it with Camino and Firefox on a Mac.
Reddit isn’t acting wonky… nor is Google Reader in any other aspect… weird.
Anyone else having issues with the heading for each item not being a link?
Leaked Google Video Discusses Google Reader, Social Efforts
Yes, I know. I would be planning the same exact thing had I been working on Google Reader.
Lots of these things came up while I was talking with Amir on the features we needed to implement to make this social feed reader work. Of course, they are indeed still missing some of the key features that will make Cowbell shine.
One of the more interesting things was:
Google will work on a standard for feed publishers to tell aggegrators about changes in the feed (’this post has been deleted’ etc.). Such a standard doesn’t exist yet. They will be working with blog tools like Blogger and MovableType.
This is the awesome thing about having the resources as Google does. I was wondering how Cowbell would work around the way RSS and Atom behaved with deletions and updates to an item (by the way, I hate such occurences… they happen quite a bit). Google’s solution: create a new standard. Awesome!
Competition’s heating up before nothing’s been released. But the advantage here is that Cowbell is able to change faster, without any of this legacy code. And yes, for the 80th time, I cannot stand legacy code, even though about 95% of my career will be spent on it. (I hope less, if not less.)
In other news, I’ve decided to buckle down and start back on some client work. I feel like I’m going to put aside freelancing after I’m done with these two projects for a while, seeing as how I really really really want to get back to Rails land.
On a lighter note, remind me to avoid Vietnamese food; at least, from this one place in Minneapolis. Their rolls were amazing when going down, but for some reason, it didn’t want to get digested at all. I had problems going to sleep because my stomach was going insane.
This post has been brought to you by deliriousness.
You know, it took me long enough… seeing as how much I read the feeds on a daily basis:
From your 179 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 13,522 items, starred 296 items, and shared 0 items.
Finally, the site has list of the most recent starred items I found to be interesting. I’ve always wanted to share my recent feed links with the rest of the world. Think of it as a JK filter.
I thought that this was available through a Wordpress Plug-in (I think it was called “hacks” back in the day), but actually, it’s just two script tags that you can add to any page on the Internet.
Just go to settings, and click on “add a clip to your site”. Whoo hoo!
Now, get to reading all those lovely posts on the iPhone and Facebook’s platform.
Where the heck did my feeds go?
I was reading through all these posts on the Apple announcement (including the AAPL dip)… and then suddenly, when I logged back on, all my feeds were gone. Just… bampf. Gone.
Is this a sign? Let’s wait and see if my feeds do come back…
EDIT: Thank goodness… they’re back. That really scared me.
