The secret of good UI design (well, one of them anyway) is knowing how you work and helping you do just that. The RSS feed aggregator “FeedDemon”:http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/index.asp is a case in point. As I have said before, I think FeedDemon is fantastic, this opinion being reinforced by something I noticed…
You may of noticed that posts to my blog have become more infrequent of late. This is purely down to a decision I made in an attempt to keep my blog fairly focused on Java and web-related topics. I’ve also tried to reduce the number of posts which simply refer…
My occasional aid package from Amazon arrived today. Along with a copy of “Panda Anti virus Platinum”:http://www.pandasoftware.co.uk/ and some graphic novels (the latest “Transmetropolitan(Transmetropolitan – The Official Feedsite)”:http://www.transmetropolitan.com/ and “Hellblazer”:http://www.insanerantings.com/hell/) was the latest “Trust The DJ”:http://www.trustthedj.com/ compilation by “Giles Peterson”:http://www.trustthedj.com/GillesPeterson/ and the new “Coral(The Coral’s website)”:http://www.thecoral.co.uk/ album, Magic and Medicine.…
Thanks to “Brainstorms & Raves”:http://brainstormsandraves.com/archives/2003/08/06/movable_type_tweak_for_comments_cookie.shtml for this – Adam over at “Measure Twice”:http://kalsey.com/blog/ has come up with some “fixes/improvements(Measure Twice – Remember Me, Movable Type )”:http://kalsey.com/2003/08/remember_me_movable_type/ for MovableType’s ‘remember me’ functionality on the comments page. Would of spotted this myself but forgot to add Measure Twice to FeedDemon…
Well, I liked “w.bloggar”:http://wbloggar.com/ allot at first, but now I realise I much prefer “Zempt(Zempt – Multi-platform MovableType client)”:http://www.zempt.com/. Zempt lets me handle MT specific stuff like different formatters (for example “Textile(Brad Choate: MT-Textile)”:http://www.bradchoate.com/past/mttextile.php, keywords, multiple categoriesetc. Now if Zempt only integrated with “FeedDemon”:http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/beta/…

From The Serverside: RSSU is perfect for building Java based RSS aggregators. It parses any version of RSS (.91, .92, 1.0 and 2.0) from a stream, URL or file into an intuitive tree of Java objects. If you…
So, I got home a little late with the full knowledge that I had lots to do tonight. My stereo needed packing up before I take it to the local “Rega”:http://www.rega.co.uk/ trader for “repairs(magpiebrain – My CD Player)”:http://www.magpiebrain.com/archives/000012.html, I had to follow up a couple of issues related to my…
That’s to a link I found whilst looking at “FeedDemon”:http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/beta/index.asp I found out about another blog client, “w.bloggar”:http://wbloggar.com/faq/. I like it a lot – although its lacking in two areas. Firstly I can’t find a bookmarklet, secondly there doesn’t seem to be a way to force a spellcheck prior to…
Before I started working on the aforementioned template for (N)Echo 0.1, I thought I’d better check to see if anyone else has done it. Sure enough I came across a “template”:http://remy.csoft.net/archives/000376.php by “Dan Dickinson”:http://remy.csoft.net/. His template requires the use of a couple of MT(Movable Type) plugins, namely “LastModified”:http://www.staggernation.com/mtplugins/LastModifiedReadMe.html and “MTPerlScript”:http://www.bradchoate.com/past/mtperlscript.php.…
From my forthcoming RSS-Java article – assuming it gets published! Actually this is as much to make sure the code formatting is still working…
