Friends’ Blogs

My friend Tristan has got his blosxom powered blog up and running again. He’s also set up an experimental public aggregator of feeds from a small group of friends from Uni, using blosxom’s companion aggregator blagg. I think public aggregators are going to become a popular end point for RSS in the near future: they’re a great way of creating an instant community from existing weblogs. The Python Programmer Weblogs page is a great example of this in action.

Oh, and Richard finally got himself a RISC PC. I think he likes it.

  1. Blagg is quite easy to set up and use. Use just create a list of RSS feeds and then make a cron job to run it automatically. It drops the stories it finds into a directory, where they are found and displayed by a blosxom blog. It all works together rather well. The only problem I have noticed so far is that it does not work correctly for all RSS versions, which is why the links back to your stories do not work correctly. I'll have to have a look at that and see if I can fix it.
