Staticfree Blog

Combine GeoURL with RSS aggregation and what do you get? Localized RSS feeds. Localfeeds is an aggregate which finds all the feeds in 50 miles of a given city and displays summaries on the site. *Waves to the Rochester blog world!* It'll be interesting watching city-level events be blogged in one spot. I've certainly gotten a kick out of watching the spread of memes through the various sites I read in my aggregated feed.

My next step is to get a better system for posting posts. Right now, as I wrote my blog engine myself, the post system is written in Perl and requires me to ssh into my main computer to write entries. This isn't bad really, as I can use emacs to compose nice HTML, but It'd be rather handy to have some XML RPC methods which I can post with, and the accompanying clients on my various wireless devices. I've pondered looking into switching over to MovableType, but I don't really have the time to write a conversion engine or any such things. Just ponderings for future ways to waste time.

On an unrelated note, some day I - and my army of kitten-seeking red robots - will create a meme that will take over the world. Just thought I'd give fair warning.
