the day has finally come.
And announcing, the latest in the Non-Evil(tm) technologies, Google Reader!.
It's an RSS aggregator (your /friends page is a livejournal aggregator, think of google reader as one that can do both lj and the rest of the webbernet) that uses the excessively cool web browser stuff that we've come to expect since gmail made javascript and the web see eye to eye again.
It doesn't seem to scale incredibly well. It's sluggish for me when I loaded up the planet python and planet humbug feeds into it via the 'import' facility. I'll see how it goes in the coming days.
:))
I used to have something kinda like this, but ultra minimalist and run by a combination of shell and python, called 'the feeder'. Unfortunately that was horribly broken, because it didn't use indexes, and used 1 file per feed entry. By the time I decommissioned it, the 1 hourly cronjob that generated the page would take 50 minutes to run. I never fixed it because the planet thing took off and made keeping up with things easier.
In other news, I did nothing useful at the sprint, becuase threadedselectreactor defeated me, and my computer. Taking a gig of ram and a kill -9 every time you run it through trial.
that gig of ram thing is an improvement though, before I patched it, it would hang within 30 tests because it had a queue that wasn't being cleared. I've no idea why yet, and I suck at threaded thinking enough to not understand TSR at all.
