A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

What’s next?

John Tropea has a blog post that discusses, among other things, my Technorati OPML tool. He’s made a good suggestion: a bookmarklet that will scrape feeds from a given page and display them in a Grazr.

That’s easy enough. I’ve got a function that does some of this.quite easily. I want to add a few things to it, like a very cool little hack for sites running WordPress. I had been planning to display this stuff in HTML, but I might as well make OPML out of it and let people have a pop-up Grazr.

I may get around to it today, but I’m going out for lunch to celebrate my mum’s birthday.

Grazr in YubNub

Developing lots of OPML stuff, it’s useful to be able to test them easily. I’ve never been much of a YubNub guy, but I just added a new command to YubNub. It’s “grz”. Type in “grz” followed by a URL and it’ll load up in Grazr.

Adding a ‘globe’ to your PDA

If you are using the PDA version of NewsRiver (including Portable Rivers), you can easily add a “globe” icon to your display.

I’ve put the instructions in an OPML file. Just open it up in your OPML Editor and follow the instructions contained within.

Here is the file.

I’ve just found Yelp Mobile. It’s pretty cool - you can find local businesses in most major US cities.

I’m sorry to give this story more fluff, but isn’t this just vindicaton for all us folks who’ve been saying that the JonBenet Ramsey story is nothing but a media circus. Still, Google News is saying that 1,113 news outlets are reporting this non-story.

The Alabama Democrats have told Larry Darby to piss off. I just wish some of his old friends could do likewise.
