Jake first found and posted this: the Bend Bulletin has their own official, bonafide RSS feed. It’s about time! That means I can finally take down my hacked-up RSS scraper feed for them. So, this is official notice that I’m deprecating my Bulletin RSS hackfeed, by implementing a redirect to the official feed, and then… Continue reading Bend Bulletin’s RSS feed

Bend Bulletin RSS feed
Quick public service announcement: I’ve hacked together an RSS feed for the Bend Bulletin. It’s a first-pass, I’m scraping their Local, Business and Sports pages and building a summary feed only. If I have time, I may go one step further and pull each article on those pages, and provide a full-text feed. Either way,… Continue reading Bend Bulletin RSS feed
RSS Comics Feeds
“Tapestry is a series of RSS feeds for online comics.” Very cool. I’ve just subscribed to a bunch of them, now I’ll get the day’s comics delivered right to my computer automagically! Update: Forgot to give credit to Jake at UtterlyBoring.com for the link.
RSS Feed
I’ve enabled an RSS 2.0 feed, which you can view here. Consider it experimental or even beta if something gets wonky.
Excluding a category in WordPress
Over on my beer blog I have an entire section of "Press Releases" that I post but which I don’t want to show up on the main page or in the RSS feed—I don’t want to spam readers with excessive marketing but I like have the repository. Since I’m now using WordPress, I figured I’d… Continue reading Excluding a category in WordPress
Oregon Coast travelogue
We spent the weekend on the Coast, and while I don’t feel like writing a 2000+ word recap like I did for our Ashland trip last year, I wanted to highlight some of it—the (shall we say) less obvious things. So I thought I’d present it more travel guide style. (Inspired largely by the Fodor’s… Continue reading Oregon Coast travelogue
Fiction: The Blue Seagull (complete)
This is another of the (few) completed stories I’ve written. It goes way back… to the first creative writing course I took in college… about 16 years ago or so. It’s been ages since I’ve looked at it, but I can tell you it’s rough, not very polished. I remember being inspired by Stephen King… Continue reading Fiction: The Blue Seagull (complete)
Growing Up in Central Oregon: Livestock
This is part of an ongoing series of articles that I’m writing on Central Oregon and growing up here; you can view the introduction here and the series as a whole here. Living relatively self-sufficiently on five acres, we always had some livestock. For all intents and purposes, we had a farm, but it was… Continue reading Growing Up in Central Oregon: Livestock
wikinovel
I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later, but I don’t quite get how this is going to work: Publisher launches its first “wiki” novel. It’s: …a Web-based, collaborative novel that can be written, edited or read by anyone, anywhere thanks to “wiki” software, the technology behind Web encyclopaedia Wikipedia. The novel, “A… Continue reading wikinovel
The truth about vampires
I realize I’m about a week late blogging this item (should have been around Halloween), but I just can’t resist: Count Dracula not in the numbers, physicist says. A scientist is playing Scully to scientifically disprove the existence of monsters—vampires, zombies, ghosts, and so on. Articles like this make me amused and irritated at the… Continue reading The truth about vampires
