I've been putting together a new site called Meta Poison that's basically just a top level view of what's happening in the news on this site. But I've also added a few other RSS feeds to it, namely Sedalina, Stiletto Philosophy, David Grenier and Gizmodo. I would have added some others but it would appear that not all that many folks are syndicating yet and NorCal Bikers syndication doesn't work right for me yet.
Since I know virtually nothing about coding and literally less than nothing about Java aside from the fact that it still bogs my Mac down if I've got too many other apps rolling at the same time. So, instead of learning how to do it myself, I did the next best thing and looked for someone who'd already done the hard work for me and created a nice, easy to use interface.
Enter, Easy Java RSS Feeds, a simple interface for creating instant Java based feeds for your site. Its configurable, modifiable and easy. All good things and the resultant code is simple to cut and paste into your sites.
And, if the Button Maker were functional then I'd already have a sweet little IP | Meta button along with all the others. But its been busted for a good week now and I'm not sure if its ever coming back so I may just Photoshop the button myself. But check out the Easy Feeds link, its good stuff if you're looking to create a feed page. There's also a cool and easy way to add RSS feeds to your MyYahoo pages too!
New Words, Not One, Not Two but Three New Words at Once
As usually happens, I get some of my best thinking done on the way home while sitting in traffic that crawls along for no good reason. So I either people watch or think. And last night was a thinkin' drive. Two new words in fifteen miles and one left over from a draft post yesterday.
confidensing - getting somebody to agree to one secret to be held and then cramming in a couple more before the contract is set.
supraman - someone who's invincible only in their own mind.
rodification - as in, "Yeah, Bob, your project that you're about to deliver and have been putting in 90 hours a week on for the last fourteen months, yeah, the board decided to make some changes. We're going to need to switch it from a Java based tool to XML with a five layer security encryption and retinal scans." Basically, you get shafted by some executive's arbitrary additions to a project just so he can say he was a part of it without considering the thousands of hours already put in on it.
