I’ve been doing a bit of development on this site lately. A little bit of knitting, but certainly more developing. I finished writing a script today that lets me track my favourite blog posts with the click of a button. Based on the recency and frequency of posts I deem awesome, the script produces a custom feed of my favourite blogs. While doing this, I learned:
- How to deal with date and time functions in PHP
- How to generate an RSS feed
- How to make bookmarklets
- I have too much time on my hands.
Just FYI, I only recently implemented this and barely any times have been recorded, so don’t be offended if you have a zero next to your blog.
Aren’t you talented? I have no skills with stuff of that nature. Hope you’ve found some time to knit in between the blog tinkering and creating scripts.

I’ve been wanting to integrate this with an RSS aggregator so I could preferentially check out the blogs that are most likely to post something I’m interested in, but I couldn’t find a way to do that without writing my own aggregator. Most online readers (and I wanted an online reader so I could maintain the read/unread status of posts across the four different computers I use) will let you import OPML but won’t let you include dynamic information (like ratings and such). So I had no idea what to do until I found reBlog. [...]
