The Bloglines Plumber
If you've used Bloglines lately, you've met the Plumber. The Bloglines Plumber is what you get on Bloglines when they have some sort of technical error, down for updates, or etc. The Plumber is interesting, because he isn't just an error message. He puts a human face on the ...

Bloglines Subscriber Numbers
I've started reading RSS feeds in Bloglines (and loving it, but that's another post). Bloglines has a snazzy feature which shows how many other Bloglines users are subscribed to the same feed you're looking at. The winner among my feeds? Slashdot, with 23,001. Second is Boing Boing with 14,767. Gadgetopia ...

Googlines?
Google has launched Google Reader, an online feed reader. As expected, it's a fairly slick and AJAX-ized reader interface that seems at home alongside Gmail. I imported my feeds from Bloglines, and here are my first impressions: Google's reader takes the approach of focusing on aggregating all the posts into ...

Site Traffic
I just pulled a log file for the last week and cranked up Webalizer. It took me 30 minutes or so to screen out all the spiders I could find and all IP addresses that might be someone associated with this site, but after finally getting some clean stats, the ...

We're #265 on Feedster...Sort Of
Feedster Top 500: We appear as the 265th most popular site on Feedster, but for some reason it's the comments feed, not the actual site feed. I can't figure that out. The comments feed only has 11 subscribers on Bloglines, compared to 606 for the main feed, so I know ...

What Free Services Would You Pay For?
There are a lot of free services on the Web -- we all use one. But which ones would you pay for? Of the free services you use, let's say they all decided to charge $30 per year. Which ones would you go without and which would you shell out ...

RSS and the Waning Mystery of the Web
Is it just me, or does RSS suck all the mystery and joy out of the Web? Does it make the whole concept of "sufing the Web" just a little more disappointing than it used to be? Once or twice during the course of an evening, I'll tell my wife ...

Drinking From a Fire Hose
Are there RSS feeds you can't keep up with? I have a few that I just can't stay on top of due to posting volume. A friend of mine called it "drinking from a fire hose." They are: DZone (yes, I know I love it, but I just can't keep ...

Feedburner Subscription Number
The Feedburner subscription numbers have settled over the last 36 hours or so since we switched the feed over. The final subscriber number is about 2,250 people sucking down the RSS feed. Of course, I have no idea how that number is being calculated, but a lot of other people ...

dzone
dzone.com - fresh links for developers: I do not add RSS feeds easily to my aggregator. The last one I added was Solution Watch, several months ago. I added dzone again last week. This is like Digg, but just for developers. Now, I know, Digg-ish sites are a dime a ...

Time Management for Geeks
Fraser Speirs on "Time Management for System Administrators": You know time management is in short supply when O'Reilly is writing books about it. Thomas A. Limoncelli's book Time Management for System Administrators is perhaps the first example I've seen of a book which advocates a GTD-style workflow with some modifications ...

Greasemonkey Script Library
Userscripts.org - Universal Repository: Here's a site full of Greasemonkey scripts for about everything you could ever imagine. I like this one, that automatically switches all Amazon affiliate links in the page you're viewing to your own affiliate ID. Sneaky. This one for Blogines continually checks your feeds in the ...

The Problem with Caching RSS
My content, my readers, my numbers, damnit: Here's a funny rant that points out a very real problem: it's virtually impossible to figure out how many people are subscribed to your RSS feed because of feed aggregators and cachers. If you took a song and cached it and fed it ...
