    RSS Zero isn't the path to RSS Joy

    There’s nothing special about reaching Inbox Zero in your feed reader.
    It’s not noble nor enlightened to get to the bottom of your β€œunread” list.
    Your πŸ‘ feed πŸ‘ reader πŸ‘ is πŸ‘ not πŸ‘ an πŸ‘ email πŸ‘ client. πŸ‘

  • From Feed Proxy To FreeMyFeed

    As those of you who use my Feed Proxy service to get your LiveJournal friends' blogs (including friends-only posts) into Google Reader or a similar service know, the service hasn't been working for the last few days.

    I made all of the changes that LiveJournal's bot policy required of me. I e-mailed them; no response. I …

    The LiveJournal-To-Google Reader service is back up again, rebranded as Feed Proxy. It's pretty much bare-bones right now, but I've got a meaningful framework that I can add …

  • LiveJournal-to-Google Reader v2.0

    I've just (finally) gotten around to releasing a brand new version of my LiveJournal-to-Google Reader proxy server, which makes it possible to easily read your LiveJournal friends' "friends only" posts in your Google Reader account (or whatever other RSS reader you use that doesn't normally make this easy).

  • LiveJournal For Google Reader v1.3 Update

    Earlier this year, I released my LiveJournal Atom Feed Digest Authentication Proxy (also known as LiveJournal For Google Reader Users). This tool allows Google Reader users to subscribe to "friends only" posts in LiveJournal weblogs, which normally isn't possible because Google Reader doesn't support the necessary authentication methods.

    Thanks to the hundreds of users that use …

    My previous post reminded me that I'd never gotten around to writing something I'd promised a few of you already: that is, a guide to using Google Reader and LiveJournal together effectively (Google Reader doesn't support digest authentication, which means that it's not possible to use Google Reader …
