does not_bob_afk's blog have an RSS feed?
eyedeekay
Ah there it is
RN
indeed a feed
eyedeekay
Now if only it were much, much longer...
eyedeekay
On a lark I took not_bob_afk's rss feed, extracted all the entries which were site reviews, and re-packaged them as bookmarks files
dr|z3d
there's a bunch of crap in there you definitely don't want bookmarked :)
dr|z3d
if you want to arrive at a collection of bookmarks worth anything, drop reviews with less than 3 or 4 strawberries.
eyedeekay
Lol yeah most of it is not great but having the descriptions packaged with the sites seems like an interesting idea, using his feed was just a way of exploring it
not_bob
eyedeekay: Yeah, rss only goes back a handful of entries. It's expected that a person would subscribe to it.
eyedeekay
My strategy will be to subscribe-aggregate-update-dedupe
eyedeekay
starting now anyway
eyedeekay
In a more perfect world I suppose I wouldn't be doing this by picking data out of your rss feed though
dr|z3d
no, you'd be handpicking decent sites and describing them :)
dr|z3d
you could use notbob's categorization to create sub-folders in your browser bookmarks folder, however.
eyedeekay
Dunno, sure I would love the subfolders in the concept, but maybe I would want site operators to provide me with a description which I vet before approving them for inclusion in my hypothetical feed, and maybe part of the reason for me wanting to organize the bookmarks locally is so that I can search/filter them locally or use them for URL completions
eyedeekay
Bookmark overload notwithstanding, descriptive bookmarks are fast and so easy to search that most people searching them don't realize they're doing it
eyedeekay
They just type a couple words into the nav bar and press down
dr|z3d
sure. keywords also a good alternative to sub-folders.
not_bob
Or, you could just gab all the articles and parse them for the data you want.
not_bob
338 blog posts in total.
eyedeekay
Sure but I was trying to be polite at least at first :P
not_bob
Ehh
not_bob
Other people scrape my site. What's one more?
eyedeekay
Lol as long as you're cool with it
not_bob
My entire blog is 14 megs.
not_bob
Yep, no issues.
