26,747 New RSS Feeds Available Taking to heart what Paolo said yesterday about aggregators not just reading news I sat down and wrote some PHP to turn all 26k+ artists on discogs (the most comprehensive electronic music database) into RSS feeds. You can use this page to find an artist, I've provided auto-subscription links for both Radio and AmphetaDesk users. So when a new release is added to discogs.com by an artist you are subscribed to it will show up in your aggregator. The next step is to tweak this a bit and allow you to subscribe to the 6,000+ record labels. 9:41:55 PM    comment []  Google It!

Less Email == Good Yahoo groups in your news aggregator. Somehow I had totally missed this feature of Yahoo Groups. In the case that somebody else might have missed it too, if you submit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Group_name/messages?rss=1 to your aggregator, you will get all posts submitted to that group in your favourite news reader. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog] Cool, I subscribed to klog and will probably subscribe to a few others as I figure out which email lists I'm on use Yahoo. 5:33:23 PM    comment []  Google It!

IRC Quotes in Your Aggregator deus_x has set up some rss feeds to the IRC quotes database. I've subscribed to latest 25. 5:15:16 PM    comment []  Google It!

Linux at ILM Linux Journal has a story on how Industrial Light and Magic has switched over to Linux. Cool! Mental note: get my brother who works at Skywalker Ranch to get me a Linux system administration job at ILM. 4:52:41 PM    comment []  Google It!
