Reading over some posts at Caveat Lector, a snippet about "technogeekery" struck a chord with me.
One asked me yesterday during break in reference class how I learned what I know. "Being dropped in the deep end," I told him honestly. There's this weird sense that technogeekery is a higher calling, a priesthood. Nah. It's what ordinary people do to keep from throwing very expensive pieces of equipment out top-story windows.
Well fucking stated.
There haven't been many updates here at LAB-Y for a while. My life has been sucked down the black-hole of panic mode at work. It has gone from bad, all of the way through worse (without a bathroom break), to positively apeshit in just a month or two.
I had been working on getting RSS integrated into LAB-Y code but thanks to my job, it has slowed down quite a bit. I'm going for the path of least resistance and work, rather than trying to choose the best version for me based upon any set of features. This is yielding a solution that is shaping up to use Perl and XML::RSS to generate my feed, a crontab script to get other peoples feeds, and a PHP script with XML_RSS to parse those feeds. My feed is probably going to be RSS 1.0, as that's the best version XML::RSS supports currently.
Fixed a bad link.
