I ♥ CODE

I have a pretty solid REST request library that I use to talk to most of the 3rd-Party API's. It's the core of the twitter library, and I use the same base to connect to Flickr. So when I decided to embed my Google Reader Starred items, I thought it would be a natural fit.

Since there does not seem to be an official API for Reader, I tried just aiming at the public feed URL. After struggling for hours to get the right character encoding output, I started trying to convert the ATOM response to other text formats,…

I have put in about 8 hours of work on the site so far, and I think it could be ready to soft-launch this evening. Of course, that is without any real content save this log. But I do have my twitter feed, and Google reader starred items getting pulled in.

I will post some code fragments later showing how I am parsing that content.

I have just completed a full replacement of what I had been building, again. This site is starting on the newest version of a framework I have been developing on for over a year at work.  It also includes the main features on a project I have been working on with Lindha and Seth Baur.

I am hoping to have a working model ready today, so that Lindha can start styling it, again.
