A while back I wanted to see every tweet a specific twitter users posts, but clicking on that user specifically was like watching blogs pre RSS reader days.

I had an idea that was born from playing with the html5boilerplate as I rebuild an existing site. The current site is multi-homed with different TLD’s for english content and we also use a translation company that translates the site as is and hosts it at a site closer geographically to where the users would come from. All …

My tutorial is up at Mobile Tuts+, Building a Mobile Web Application with the Google Reader API.

It’s been a long time since I last posted. I’ve re-engineered my python code to go against Google Reader for the data and sync back. I plan to post the python code and the database structure to my punchingsoup website. I’ll transition posts about my RSS stuff there and use this site for more general ramblings.

There are a number of search engines that are exposing their results as RSS feeds. From this I had an idea and built a little app at work that collected RSS posts from about 40+ search engines to help track brands across the internet. It occurred to me that others might want to do the same thing so …

I’ve been making tons of updates to my RSS Reader but I’ve been very lax in updating on this blog. So here’s a Flickr Slideshow of the work as it stands.

I’ve annotated the screenshots on Flickr. You can view those here RSS Reader Set

This was the first idea I had when I saw the mini-window real-time friendfeed. It moves the main content of twitter over a bit and puts a friendfeed window on the left. I also got it to put a search bar over the home section.
Get it here, friendfeed_on_twitter.user.js
Here’s just the search bar script, twitter_search.user.js
I also found out that …
