Damn RSS and other Complicated Scripting
Okay. I wasn't a freaking computer science major in college. It's true. But I figure that I do pretty well for myself. I've set up this blog, inserted things into HTML without any training in it what so ever. Not too bad. Yes... I'm patting myself on the back. That's what you get to do when you do something difficult. So recently I've had this idea that I want varied content on this Blog witout my having to enter it in all the time. Not that I mind, I mean...hell.. it is a blog, but I was thinking that I could add some RSS scripts (think of it as Tivo for the web) so that I could put a script in and have all the daily comics from "Get Fuzzy" (the best comic in the world if you weren't aware) and have it automatically post.
Anyway.. I spent like two hours tonight looking around for an easy way to do it and I've yet to succeed. Tried a few programs here and there, but nothing really works all that well.
I did find a neat program called FeedDemon that allows you to have RSS feeds go directly into the program, so now, instead of going to Sports Illustrated, Slashdot, Engadget, ESPN, and Beer Advocate I just load up that program and it brings me all the newest content right in one simple window. Saves time. Not that I don't have time to burn, but hell, always gotta be efficient, even if it is an efficient way to burn time.
Poor Laura is sick right now, so she's in the other room chugging Miso Soup and ODing on Orange Juice. I hope that she feels better.
So last night I had an intimate encounter with a woman. Laura wasn't home, and I got home and she was laying out in my back yard. Totally naked. Yeah...that's right...nothing on. When I opened the back door and walked out with my camera to take some snap shots, she quickly got up and darted away. Anyway...here are some pictures of her... after I went in and got her a bite to eat.
