play with the machine: "rss makes the world a smaller place. take a simple concept, aggregating rss feeds (parss), throw in some vendor-agnostic exchange syntax (infx), mix it up weblog-style (rss.antville.org) and you get something bordering closely to the winograd idea of grassroots. it's taken nearly seven years to see his ideas come (almost) to fruition. i can't wait for the rest". via schockwellenreiter via traumwind.

yesterday, this song made my day. twice.

nice side-effects of parss: chris langreiter provides a proposal how feed subscriptions could work in the future and finally an rss feed of his weblog.

thanks for the flowers!

was für ein einsamer samstag, so allein unter all diesen samstagen. jetzt sitz ich immer noch hier, höre ausnahmsweise funky kinderlieder auf fm4. gleich tanz ich vor dem spiegel!

das wollte ich schon vor jahrhunderten fragen, doch dann fiel mir was anderes ein – oder das netz aus: ist die couch nicht die schwester vom sofa?

i'm going down to la-la-land...

an experiment with rss and antville.

i installed the helma rss application at hopdev and configured it so that everyone who is a registered and logged-in user at antville can directly post rss stories to rss.antville.org.

you can try it out by going to hopdev, registering as user there (which is still necessary and annoying, but hapiness is just around the corner) and choosing one of the channels.

the list with items probably is familiar to those who already know radio userland. when you click the "post" button, a summary of the corresponding story will be transferred to rss.antville.org (be sure to be really logged in at antville).

you also can subscribe channels (check the marks of a check box and click "update") and you also should be able to post new ones (which will be available for everyone then).

me, too, i like the flash interface for browsing the works of hubert schmalix (via michi.tv).

le sofa blogger is now "permanent resident" at antville. now that's nice. even nicer is the ultimative lobhüdeley for the makers of antville. they definitely deserve it!

btw. this is my first posting directly derived from the rss aggregator: click the post button, edit the default text – et voilà!

hey, i just checked in the files of the completely rewritten helma rss application!

currently, the app is using a user/membership management i have stolen from another app (sorry, i forgot which it was – but thanks to the creator, anyway :)

next steps:

1. defining an (xml-rpc?) interface to weblog tools (antville!) so that the disabled post buttons in the channel/news view make sense and take the user directly to his/her weblog story form containing the corresponding title, text and source link of the aggregated item (i think that will be pretty cool!).

2. integrating a javascript viewer as seen at publish.curry.com

3. more ideas?
