Weiser Books Link Goodness or Why You Should Be Subscribed to the Feed

By Giania • Dec 22nd, 2008 • Category: Literature

Hot:

Those who are already subscribed to the (feedburner) RSS feed may have noticed a particularly large link dump post, brimful of esoteric whatnots and occult herbal do-dads.
Those who aren’t, I’d like to direct your attention to the great big purple box in the upper right hand corner. Exclusive to the feed is my del.icio.us activity [...]



The Time Has Come, The Walrus Said

By Giania • Nov 2nd, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot:

Gentle readers, I awoke this morning with renewed vim and vigor, or at the very least, with a bit of a realization. I’ve let you down, gentle readers. Let you flounder in an unending sea of Twitter reposts, in which you silently, patiently await real content from me or one of my contributing writers. By [...]



An Opera and Chrome Memory Usage Comparison Shot

By Giania • Sep 4th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot:

I realize that everyone’s probably already sick to death of hearing about Chrome, but I thought I’d chime in anyway.
Here’s a memory usage shot of Chrome versus Opera.

It’s not really a fair comparison, as the same things aren’t open, but I realized that with the way I [...]



Good News! Multiple Language Support for RSS

By Giania • Aug 7th, 2008 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot:

Do you have RSS feeds for sites that you like, but they aren’t in your language? Don’t you wish you could get those feeds translated and delivered in the language you’re most comfortable reading? Of course you do! Well, the internet is full of surprises and helpful little whatnots, and one of those items is [...]



An Event Apart Day One Conference Notes Part 1

By Giania • Jun 27th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot:

Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall. That said, [...]



Opera and Web 2.0

By Giania • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot:

As an Opera desktop edition user, I am part of a browsing minority.
I started using Opera years ago, back when they still had banner ads to support their desktop offering. Some friends recommended it to me as a browsing alternative, if I recall correctly. I was getting sick of IE, and all the Netscape [...]



Feedburner Feed Update

By Giania • Mar 25th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

If anyone is subscribed to the straight up site RSS feed of RKNet, I’d encourage you to hit the RSS link in the header of the site for the Feedburner feed, because I just added:

Flickr automatic updates – which I promise to try and make interesting!
del.icio.us automatic updates – a once-per-day summary of what kind [...]



Web App Day for RKNet!

By Giania • Mar 18th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot:

Today I put a click mapping app on RandomKitty.net. It will give me “heat maps” of where people click when they are on the main page of the blog. I may add it elsewhere, but the home page needs an overhaul before I do that. If you’d like to view the current heat map of [...]



Bookmarklet to Enhance Your Flickr Experience

By Giania • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Traipsing about my collection of RSS links, as I am oft wont to do, I discovered one labeled Blackr. Despite the obvious Web 2.0 name, it struck me as curious and I proceeded.
Blackr is described as a way to view Flickr content without all the noise of navigation, comments, and various whatnots. There weren’t [...]



del.icio.us’s super fun rss feed

By Giania • Oct 22nd, 2007 • Category: Browsers

Hot:

Only the del.icio.us RSS feed can produce such gems as:
http://ascii.techhappens.com/ – An ASCII art generator.
http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/10/10-surefire-ways-to-kill-your-crabby.html – Seen near a lifehack.
http://www.myscienceproject.org/j-shot-3.html – Located in the vicinity of jello shot instructions.
http://link.ezer.com/tools/google_serps_rank_checker.asp – Nearby a SERP rank checker.
It’s such an endless treasure trove of stuff. I would recommend subscribing, and not necessarily trying to review all the links [...]
