Standard Mischief

So I’ve noticed that several of my regular reads have also been reading, (and commenting), over at Claire’s blog at Backwoods Home Magazine.

The problem with the above blog’s RSS feed is that its not a full text feed.

The hyperlinks are missing in the full text of  this version of the feed. Nevertheless, I’d much rather read it than the official one.

I really hate Yahoo pipes, with its kludgey and slow attempt at a usable GUI, but this was someone else’s work and it was free. It’s good enough that I haven’t bothered to code up anything better for myself.

Since at least a third of my income this year has been from writing exactly these types of screen-scraping scripts, I probably don’t have an excuse for that. Oh well.

Enjoy.
