augiemania ORLY?

I needed to move all my RSS feeds from Mail.app to Safari.app because whenever I was checking my email (productive time) I would be checking feeds (non-productive). Safari happens to be my leisure browser and Firefox is my work browser (anal enough?) so I needed to move this dump of rss feeds into Safari. Luckily, I found out exactly how to do it.

With that said, I realized I had a lot of great sites, and good friends on my feed dump. So I’m gonna post the dump right here. SUBSCRIBE TO THEM ALL!

Often feeds come and go. So think of this as a snapshot of sorts.

Here’s the deal, I set up 2 wordpress blogs, each with a wp-o-matic plugin.

They are pulling each others RSS feeds and checking eachother every 10 mins. Hopefully this works out the way I planned.

Update – EPIC FAIL. I’ll work on it more tonight.

In case you weren’t aware, my twitter is just a replication of my blog. I figured it would be nice to let ll you twitter folks know as I have seen a “surge” in my followers over the past few weeks.

UPDATE: I ended up baleeting all my posted items stuff and the feed. Sorry charlie! It’ll be on the DAPS site this week though (hopefully).

Because I post a lot of items on facebook’s “Posted Item” feature.

Some days I find 20 really cool things that I wanna share. I find facebook to be the easiest. (I never got into delicious, digg, or any other bookmarking site.) The personal feel of facebook really allows me to be comfortable sharing my findings. (Which all come from RSS feeds.)

For the past month I have been trying to pull my facebook posted items feed into this site, which is obviously wordpress. I tried a few Plugins, but facebook has a funny feed url or something. FeedWordpress is the one that finally worked.

Today, as stevie and porknbomb pointed out, I had a lot of posts today. BUuuuuuuuut they were mostly all from facebook. (except the cell phone pic, that came from flickr from my phone, and this post.)

I dunno if I like it.

I mean on one hand, it’s more posts, more stuff, more of what I do during my day.

On the other, it feels cheap, it feels rushed, it buries all the vids and pics and stuff i make.

Am I more important than the stuff I take pride in, or is the stuff I take pride in more important than me? Tough question.

I learned a lot about the internet today. I usually put more value in the exchange of information when on the internet. I tend to undervalue the actual person to person communication that really does happen in every exchange of information. Grrrrrrr I’m a robot again.

So I have this meebo account from when I was still in college. The campus blocked all p2p ports so I needed an alternative chat app. (it wasn’t till later that I began using adium for this purpose)

Meebo gives it’s users the ability to embed a chat room in their blog/myspace. Being the sucker I am for silly blog tools, I made a “chat room” page on augiemania. No one has ever used it besides me for screwing around.

This got me thinking about other worthless gadgets people put on their blog. Now your miles may vary, but I don’t get much traffic on this site at all, so the idea of people using these things is sort of absurd.

I go to blogs to read, not play with your silly flickr slideshow. Just put the whole gallery on a page, I would rather see them all than like 5 of them. Also your photos suck. (mine aren’t any better)

I use Youtube a lot, so I like the idea of a multiple video player. In fact I use one on my videos page to avoid unnecessary clicks in case someone wants to see a bunch of my vids in a row.

I also used to belong to a few of those “read my blog I’ll read yours” sites, but those are stupid. BlogExplosion sucks stop being an attention whore.

Okay, now that I’ve come to my point, we can get to the good stuff.
