"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension
"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension
09/20/2004 10:22 AMWhen Firefox add
ed RSS support, I had mixed reactions. On the one hand, I was
excited by the boost RSS would receive by being supported in a popular
browser. But on the other hand, for obvious reasons I wasn't wild
about how Firefox built RSS into the browser without enabling users to
choose an external RSS reader.
So, I was glad when several FeedDemon customers talking about building an extension to enable FeedDemon
to take advantage of the new Firefox RSS features.
Michael Koziarski rose to
the challenge and created F
eed Your Reader, a Firefox extension that enables you to subscribe
to feed in FeedDemon - or any other RSS reader that supports the feed:
// protocol. Which means that even though the extension was
designed with FeedDemon in mind, it's not specific to FeedDemon.
Initial tests show that it also works with NetNewsWire on the
Mac.
Once this extension is installed, you'll see an additional "FYR"
icon in Firefox's status bar right next to the existing RSS icon.
Clicking the FYR icon displays a menu of auto-discovered feeds, and
clicking one of these feeds will display FeedDemon's "New Channel"
wizard to subscribe to it.
Details on Feed Your Reader are h
ere, and the project page is here. If you're viewing
this in Firefox, the download link to the XPI (extension) is here

Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was
Maybe women wouldn't want to get married
if they knew how time-consuming it was
03/17/2005 03:24 AMA 40ish friend he told me about life with his twentysomething
girlfriend:
- "I plan the dinner, shop for all the ingredients, choose and buy
the wine, cook and clean up."
- "We were staying at a friend's house. When it came time to
leave she was relaxing while I cleaned up and put the sheets and
towels in the washing machine."
- "We earn about the same amount of money and yet I pay for
everything."
- "She seems to think equality means doing less than
half the work so she won't ever have to feel mid-twentieth century
housewifelike."
At the same time we know a huge number of women who seem to be good
at everything except holding onto a guy long enough to get married,
something that they claim to want. Could it be the case that in
the old days mothers sat their daughters down and explained to them
how selfish and spoiled most men are and what they needed to do to
keep the guy happy? Whereas now young women are exposed to
wisdom from Jada Pinkett Smith, a popular actress:
“Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving
children, a fabulous career,” she said. “They say you gotta choose.
Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new
standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All
you have to do is want it.” (speaking at Harvard, a talk that got her into
hot water for being too "heteronormative")
The implication of Pinkett Smith's remarks was that a Harvard
girl, in virtue of being bright, well-educated, and ambitious, was
entitled to these things without doing too much work except
maybe on the career part. She never added "if you're
willing to do the laundry, plan and pay for half the evenings out,
straighten up the house in between visits from the cleaners."
Some of our women friends do seem to have figured out what
compromises and efforts are entailed but they suffer through many
inexplicable (to them) dumpings and are into their late 30s by the
time insight is acquired. This wouldn't be a problem except that
by this age they are past their best reproductive years and are often
rather embittered toward men.
A potential solution:Find couples where the man is satisfied and
not thinking about walking out. Do time-and-motion studies of
the female partner in these couples and figure out how much effort
they are putting forth. Report the results so that single women
can decide if it is worth the bother. Perhaps when they see the
data they will come to agree with Isabel Archer in Portrait of a Lady, who,
when all around her were trying to marry her off, thought
"she held that a woman ought to be able to make up her life in
singleness, and that it was perfectly possible to be happy without the
society of a more or less coarse-minded person of another
sex."
[Update: Some (married) friends pointed out that
there are quite a few books targeted at women who want to get married,
offering advice. However this advice is anecdotal and not based
on hard numbers gleaned from surveys. A friend in her 40s
pointed out that perhaps by coddling our kids we've produced an entire
generation too selfish to make a marriage succeed. This afflicts
both young men and women equally with the difference that men have the
biological luxury to wait until they are 40 or 50 to figure it
out.]

12/17/2004 06:36 PMIn Oaxaca, as in most of the places that I've visited in and out of
the U.S., it was nearly impossible to find someone who admits to
favoring George W. Bush. Yet the guy won 51% of the popular
vote. Even here in Massachusetts fully 37 percent of voters
supposedly chose Bush. Perhaps voting for Bush is like being a
consumer of online porn. Statistics show that it is popular but
nobody will admit to doing it.

though and tweaked the link colours a bit, as well as making a few
other small changes such as a darker green for the header and a 1em
margin around the page.
In an attempt to satiate the voracious appetite for RSS displayed by some of
my visitors I've set up two new feeds: Blog comments and Blogmarks. I don't
use an aggregator myself so I'd appreciate feedback on how well they
work. I've also put together a blogmarks archive - no
search engine yet, but it's on the list.

Feed 0.6.4
04/08/2005 12:00 PMFeed is a RSS and Atom news reader, with the latest version released
in February 2005. The developer wrote this application because all of
the existing freeware RSS readers were more of a "hybrid between
iTunes and a web browser," and he wanted something that was more like
an email client.
The application is described as being "simple and familiar" including
a single window interface, and it lives up to that claim. Because
Feed is designed to work like a mail program, individual articles are
displayed directly in Feed.
The latest version of Feed now features drag and drop support,
allowing the user to drag text and URL clippings directly into the
Feed drawer from any application. Adding links from other
applications is simple, and any feed or article can be dragged from
Feed to another application that accepts Text or URL clippings. The
application also features audio notifications allowing the user to
choose any of the built in sounds to play when a new item becomes
available. Articles can be bookmarked in the feed list with a simple
command or by dragging the link to the Feed drawer, allowing articles
to be grouped for later reading or to save an article indefinitely.
The user has the option to completely customize the way feeds are
managed and displayed with the drag and drop interface. Feeds can be
grouped into folders and then display all articles in the group
together. The application currently supports all versions of Atom and
RSS allowing the importing and exporting of existing RSS feed
subscriptions in the industry-standard OPML format.

Reall
y Simple Subscription, FeedDemon developer Nick Bradbury suggests
using the
feed: protocol to make subscribing to RSS and Atom feeds
easier.
I agree.
Nick also says that the solution is not perfect, and I agree with that
too. But it does work and it has broad support in existing
aggregators.
It’s just not used on the web that much yet. But, if it were
used, we’d have really simple subscription today, since
it’s already supported in so many aggregators.
(Someone will ask, “Why not use MIME types?” Answer:
because aggregators need the URL of a feed, not the content, in order
to subscribe.)
Sometimes I think the whole issue is just that we haven’t agreed
on a graphic. Nick posted a “Feed” graphic on his post.
Last year,
Bryan Bell made a
few: perhaps one of these would be good?
I think that orange should not be used, to avoid confusion with the
orange XML graphic.

How to track an RSS feed
How to track an RSS feed
08/31/2004 06:59 PMAccording to the HTTP specification, RSS/Atom aggregators should
obey the HTTP
301 Moved Permanently header by altering the stored
subscription URL
for the feed they are attempting to retrieve.
This behaviour can be used to track repeat aggregator hits
to a feed, in essence the equivalent a setting a permanent cookie. The
first time an aggregator hits the published feed address, a 301 header
is served redirecting that aggregator to a new URL incorporating a
unique ID. The aggregator permanently changes the stored subscription
URL, meaning
future request to that feed will carry the unique ID that was assigned
the first time the feed was retrieved.
At its most innocent, this could allow people to track
their number of unique subscriptions - although the value of this
would be severely diluted if people started deliberately subscribing
to the same redirected feed URL. I'm sure there are more insidious uses for this
as well.
Maybe aggregators should prompt users when a feed has
permanently moved, to prevent them from being tracked without their
knowledge.

result of the rss flamewars a few months ago and, while I couldn't
care less about XML, atom does appear to have a saner format. I also
tried out Shrook since
I've not been entirely happy with Netnewswire and found that I really
like it much better, especially the iTunes style of organisation and
navigation of the feeds.
