Ok, Fixed the Feed

5.25.2007

But first as always, plugs.
Sunshine number 39 is up, and as usual, totally true, but there are even worse situations.

Hey, guess who got the number one comment on Schilling's blog.

Ok, my RSS Feed.
So here is the problem. I use Ice Rocket RSS Feed Builder to build the feed, love their feed builder. Here's the problem, I use Feed Burner to promote the feed, they are awesome also. Basically Ice Rocket sends this to Feed Burner, and you end up with something translated, plus Feed Burner has all sort of cool feature thy provide with, one of the big ones being this.

So here is the problem. I have been using a feed since 2003. That feed got so huge, Feed Burner no longer supported it. To top it off, Ice Rocket has no way to archive or easily edit your feeds so it won't get bigger than the 512K that Feed Burner accepts.

So this left me with a quandry. I love both Ice Rocket and Feed Burner, but I need Feed Burner more than I do Ice Rocket. So I came up with and idea. Why not just use the .xml that come with this blog? So I did. Blogger feeds are easy to regulate so this won't happen again. Also I am not totally convinced someone registering for my feed nowadays wants to read through 2000 old feed updated dating back to 2003.

So, my new feed will look a lot different than the old one. It will contain these blog posts, so the 40 or so of you that subscribe, don't be shocked. Also if you just subscribed for site updates, I do put those in a section right at the beginning of every blog called "Plugs", so you won't miss an update, you will just get them once a day all at once. And to top it off, the feed address did not change and it also contains categories, and I don't have to manually update the feed. We will see how this works.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
Day off yesterday, now a rain delay in Texas, and from what I understand it is only about 65 there. It was 95 here all day and still in the 80's right now. Mood: Hot.

Ok, when I was in high school.
Someone left a carton of milk inside one of those old huge steam radiators and it took them about 2 week to find the nasty smell.

Can the little man fight Big Oil?
Suprisingly this could work, most small gas station make a silver of profit per gallon of gas, my father used to own one. Of course just wait until Wal*Mart start selling gas.

Damn the Man!
It is the 1960's all over again brother! I can just picture Just Me out there protesting!

Advice for those of Death Row.
If you are going by Lethal Injection, get really fat.
