A couple of itty-bitty tools to make using blo.gs easier: A bookmarklet to search blo.gs for the url of the current page in a popup (test it out by clicking, or drag the link to your Links/Personal Toolbar). If you are signed in at blo.gs, then it’s just one more click to add it to […]
John Robb says “Here is an update on my friend and boss Dave Winer. He is in the hospital and will remain there until next weekend.” It’s odd, but that explanation never once occurred to me: it’s like saying “the wind isn’t blowing because it’s in the hospital” – unless I really think about it, […]
Because you can never have too much notification of updates: Simon Fell’s blogToaster polls weblogs.com, and sends you a MSN/Windows Messenger message when it spots a blog you’ve added to your list. In a self-serving-in-a-good-way way, when you check it out, you’ll need to add a blog to your list that will then update and […]
It’s a lovely Saturday night in June. Who would be updating their weblog at a time like this?
Les wants to be acknowledged by search engines for his expertise in wil wheaton monkey sex. I wouldn’t really recommend it, based on my experience with the main squeeze of a certain golfer. My poor, neglected Big Blog Tool blog is still bringing in several hundred frustrated searchers who want to do unspeakable things with […]
Just a reminder to me, to keep checking on the blogroots resources list, waiting for “ways to submit new information to be included” – given that the section on comments only includes aspcomments, cgiComments, and Reblogger (with a link!; I know people remember the name Reblogger, but since it has been an ex-comment system since […]
Update: this hack is included in Movable Type 2.6, so you don’t need to do it yourself anymore. While it’s not the truly smart convert line breaks I really want, I hacked in a smart-enough to suit me version that’s only moderately slow. The biggest drawback is that my version doesn’t convert line breaks inside […]
As Tobias notes, an RSS feed of the last 20 comments on any post can be a bit noisy, and as I’m beginning to notice from subscribing to the EmptyBottle comments feed, comments tend to need context even more than weblog posts. Right now, while I remember the post that got the comment, I know […]
The other day, I reminded myself that I liked the idea of an RSS comment feed, so that you wouldn’t have to keep checking back to see whether someone had replied to your comment on someone else’s blog. Today I followed a link from scripting.com about namespaces in RSS 0.9x (okay, I don’t really have […]
I meant to respond to whoever sent me the referrals from http://referers/are/easy/to/fake/, but I see that Les said it better: You can kick my house over, walk by, or help me lay bricks. In any case, the house will still get built as long as I still like building it. My referral script (coming along: […]
