zerokspot v5 progress report

This post was written on 2007/07/17 at 12:25:52 by Horst Gutmann

Work on the next iteration of this site is progressing quite well :) Thanks to the holidays I can finally invest a little bit more time into the site. In fact I already think about really pushing it out of the door this week.

But first I want to get a few things done:

  1. Add a lifestream comparable to what Manuela Hoffmann and Jeff Croft have on their sites. The implementation of this is nearly complete and uses Yahoo! Pipes in combination with cPickle and Mark Pilgrim's feedparser.
  2. Pinging support: I think I already wrote that so I just have to activate it (Wouldn't have made much sense to ping technorati with localhost URLs, would it? ;-)).
  3. Recheck all feeds: I always forget what the ordering of feed-items should be, so I better check all the feeds again before going live.

I think then everything should be more or less ready ... at least I hope so, because I barely can wait to finally post from this new engine.

    The lifestream feature is nice. I bet its gonna be interesting for you to see what you did x years ago at this time ;)

    Well, it's not really mean this way but for just an aggregation of recent "posts" on various sites like flickr, my jaiku account and so on :)

    Hey ZeroK, nicely done this page. I'm using Python too since this year and really like the gorgeous frameworks like Pylons ;-). Keep the good work up!

    Thanks, Martin :D

    Pylons is also quite high on my list of frameworks I want to use for future sites, but I just looked very briefly at it and it seemed to RoR-like for for this site (not a bad thing per se, but I never really felt at home with all the "magic" that is involved with the RoR approach).
