One of the things that people often ask me to add to TwitRSS.me is support for generating an RSS feed from a Twitter search. In fact some of the code that I originally used to build it was targetted at achieving exactly that objective. I am now working 90% time at my day job, so I had a rare after …

Making a service that lots of people use is always an interesting thing to do. And sometimes and exciting experience too. This month has been especially exciting for TwitRSS.me one way and another. Here is a quick roundup of some of what has been occuring.The bi …

I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with RSS. Its just simple enough that you can make something in an evening. But just complex enough that the thing could potentially be a bit interesting. So, I set out to learn a bit more about Drupal, especially about theming it. I wan …

Update 2011-01-31: Well, life got in the way of getting this out in January, let’s see if it will come out in Feb! I’m currently coding a project using the Catalyst Framework. The project is called feedmash and is partly inspired by paper.li along with the UK Indymedia agg …
