HOWTO: Setup an Aggregated RSS feed for your Friends using Google Reader

HOWTO: Setup an Aggregated RSS feed for your Friends using Google Reader

Lets say you have three friends, and you don’t really want to check all of there twitter, blogs, rss feeds all day long.

RSS Feeds:
http://danfolkes.com/index.php/feed/
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/17508497.rss
http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot

What you do is open Google Reader (Part of a Google account.)
Add all of the feeds to it by selecting “Add a Subscription”

Go into the “Manage Subscriptions” page (link in lower left)
Now, click “Add to Folder” and Create New Folder for the item

Now add the rest of the feeds to that folder in the same fashion.
Now to refresh, Click “« Back to Google Reader” then “Manage Subscriptions”
Goto the “Folders and Tags” Tab (near Manage Subscriptions)
Select your new folder, and select Public from the “Change Sharing…” drop down list.

You should now have “View Public Page” button.
That page contains a nice looking aggregate HTML view and a rss feed related to the page that you can add to any feed reader.
Here are my links: HTML and RSS

I hope this helps someone! Leave comments if it did.

Wiki Based Directory of Online Free TV Shows

Daniel — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:56:20 +0000

I really wanted to make a exhaustive list of TV shows that networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central and more have listed for free on their website.

Some of these shows have full catalogs and some have just the current season or clips.

I would love to have people contribute and add to the listing.

I have it hosted here on Zoho. It’s basically an open source version of Google docs plus tons of other features.

Thanks,
Enjoy

Purchase The Kit

WokFi – on Instructables

The parabolic Asian cooking(dumpling) strainer
is the perfect candidate for this project.

I was able to pick up 20 more access points
in the city and connect to a network a few blocks away!

This is BY-FAR the most simple of all Wifi extensions!

Those might be Longitude and Latitude, so, and you get somewhere north of Baghdad:

If you flip the numbers, you get the Black Sea, above Turkey.

I guess we will see if I am correct.
