Comments on: Managing The Firehose: Controlling RSS Through Pipes http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2009/03/27/managing-the-firehose/ Rod Hilton's rants about stuff he cares about way too much. Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:01:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Sean http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2009/03/27/managing-the-firehose/comment-page-1/#comment-45401 Sean Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:11:16 +0000 http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/?p=316#comment-45401 Thanks for the intro. I've already set up two simple filters: only those JREF articles authored by James Randi, and only those Stranger articles authored by Dan Savage. I'd been contemplating cobbling together something that could do that myself, so it's nice to find that the effort has already been invested. I wonder if you (or anyone else who might be reading) knows if Yahoo Pipes would be able to address a problem I had last year. I found that a certain blogger had been posting critical, well-written reviews of "Left Behind" (the original novel) for some years, and I found an index of all of the relevant articles: http://exharpazo.blogspot.com/2007/01/index-to-slactivists-left-behind.html I didn't want to read everything at one sitting, and (being lazy) I didn't want to have to remember to check back periodically, so I wrote a little script that rationed out the entries, a couple every day, as an RSS feed. It was my first RSS-related programming effort, and it worked well enough, but I wonder if Yahoo Pipes is sufficiently powerful to tackle a scenario like mine. Thanks for the intro.

The amazing revelation: the number of features I need is tiny. Here’s how I dealt with the firehose in January — I left google reader behind and built my own open-source feedreader.
