it's interesting to watch the strong reaction to this: "on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader" -- http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html |

that's the thing about Google Reader though... it's a pretty unique service |
| 01:00 |
|
pdurbin |
might be tough to replace |
| 01:01 |

I might dust off http://newsbeuter.org and run it in a `screen` session |

hmm, "Tiny Tiny RSS is an open source web-based news feed (RSS/Atom) reader and aggregator, designed to allow you to read news from any location, while feeling as close to a real desktop application as possible." -- http://tt-rss.org via http://jpope.org/about |

oh yeah... http://www.netvibes.com ... via http://lifehacker.com/5990456/google-reader-is-getting-shut-down-here-are-the-best-alternatives |

from the father of RSS: "I won't miss it. Never used the damn thing. Didn't trust the idea of a big company like Google's interests being so aligned with mine that I could trust them to get all my news." -- http://threads2.scripting.com/2013/march/goodbyeGoogleReader |

" the idea being to make it easy for users, on their own, but especially as part of a group, to read, discuss and promote or blog about content coming in via feeds" -- http://threads2.scripting.com/2013/march/goodbyeGoogleReader#comment-828557598 ... talking about this: https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward |

oh wait... no, not netvibes... it was http://www.bloglines.com I used back in the day |

"The only real power we have fight censorship is to have a vast universe of websites that may only have one or two contributors. This endless size and complexity makes the task of censorships nearly impossible for any one tyrant. As long as we have millions and millions of Gutenbergs, there will be a need for those creators to lets fans know that there is something "new" on their site... and that means RSS, or some manner of free and open syndicat |

syndication system will still be on the web." -- McKinley Tabor at https://plus.google.com/116527237301405512643/posts/7p8TtdmQnag |

makes me think of this: "my ideal social network is where everyone maintains plain text files in a git repo and friends can pull the diffs periodically" -- https://twitter.com/danchoi/status/108646585579225088 :) |

hi pdurbin, came across spanworm via a post on G+ on the Reader apocalypse. Love what you have to say and how you are using IRC. |
| 18:04 |
|
amblin |
Does the web archive have a feed I can subscribe to somewhere? |
| 18:05 |
|
pdurbin |
not really but periodically I dump the MySQL database of the IRC logs here: https://github.com/pdurbin/data.greptilian.com |
| 18:06 |
|
pdurbin |
for another channel where I don't run the logging bot, I download the logs and put them here: http://crimsonfu.github.com/irclogs/ |
| 18:13 |

Seems strange ilbot doesn't generate that with the web archive, useful if you're using irc as a quasi, blogging platform. I'll try to follow along without it. |
| 18:14 |
|
pdurbin |
sorry, are you saying ilbot could or should make an rss feed? |
| 18:15 |
|
amblin |
As it generates the archive, have that as well. I am surprised it doesn't. |
| 18:16 |
|
pdurbin |
might be a little chatty... |
| 18:16 |
|
pdurbin |
are you thinking one rss entry per day? that might be fine... |
| 18:17 |
|
amblin |
Might be, per day or per actual post, depends on how you plan to consume it |
| 18:19 |
|
pdurbin |
in practice my IRC client (irssi) lets me know if there's activity in this channel by popping up the number for this channel's window |
| 18:19 |
|
pdurbin |
works great :) |
| 18:21 |
|
pdurbin |
amblin: don't get me wrong... I love RSS :) |
| 18:21 |
|
amblin |
yeah lots of ways to be notified via irc, thinking about trying to follow out of band |
| 18:21 |
|
amblin |
just seems like an obvious thing for the webarchive |
| 18:23 |
|

amblin: I let the ilbot developer know: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/ilbot/2013-03-14#i_6588889 |
