    Coyote's written some solid words about how well Dreamwidth are standing up for user privacy and liberty against an increasingly hostile and censorship-ridden environment.

  • 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 …

  • Feed Proxy Bug Fixes

    BREAKING NEWS: On 1st October 2009, LiveJournal blocked the Feed Proxy bot. I don't know when they'll unblock it and it'll come back up: see the latest here.

    I've fixed a handful of bugs in the popular Feed Proxy tool (which, as you probably know, allows you to read LiveJournal and Dreamwidth "friends-only" posts in Google …

  • LiveJournal-To-Google Reader Back Up

    BREAKING NEWS: On 1st October 2009, LiveJournal blocked the Feed Proxy bot. I don't know when they'll unblock it and it'll come back up: see the latest here.


    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).

    I've announced the new version on the new …

  • 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 …

  • Google Reader For LiveJournal Users

    There's a new version out: click here!
    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 …

  • LiveJournal Needs To Tighten Security

    Hmm... as part of my ongoing work with Abnib v3.0, I've noticed a couple of interesting little quirks in the way that LiveJournal handles security for "friends only" and "private" posts. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've found a way to - for any given user - produce a list of the times, dates, and …

  • Hacking Around With LiveJournal

    If this all works to-plan, my recent changes to Scatmania will mean that every time I make a new entry, a link is posted to a journal on LiveJournal. This will allow my friends to monitor my blog from their 'friends lists', in AbNibs absence.

  • Thoughts Of Tuesday

    Cycling home last night I realised once again quite what a happy bunny I am. I enjoy my job, for which I am paid very reasonably. I live in a town that I love, and I'm surrounded by good friends. And, above all else, I have the love of a beautiful woman whom I love …

  • LiveJournals

    Many of my friends here in Aber seem to have their own weblogs on LiveJournal. I'm almost tempted to download the (open) source of LJ and set up AberJournal, a site for Aberites to post their journals to. Could be cool.

    On which note, please go see:
