It was pointed out to me this morning that my feed, currently run through Feedburner, wasn’t working properly. I created that problem when I upgraded my site software (the new version provides a different feed URI), so it seems that none of the posts I’ve written since the upgrade have been getting through to aggregators. I don’t know how that managed to elude my notice, but it did.
Everything should be corrected now, so please check the site if you don’t see those posts appear in your reader. There’s been a fair amount of activity – 10 posts, to be precise – in the last week or so including the posting of my Ant script and instructions for sync’ing Firefox across multiple machines using Dropbox. Good stuff. Really. You don’t want to miss it. :-)
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Looks like my co-worker’s secure feed proxy service – the one that I mentioned a few days ago – is starting to get noticed in places with a much wider readership that I can offer. That’s a good thing (the fact that it’s getting noticed, I mean, not the fact that my readership is anemic); it’s a pretty kick ass service worthy of notice.
I’m quoted in both posts. Does that mean that I’m right on the cusp of achieving vicarious celebrity? Yeah, didn’t think so…

As an avid Trac user and semi-evangelist, I love the fact that it’s possible to subscribe to RSS feeds of the project timeline, ticket changes, repository commits and the like. Unfortunately, every Trac environment I’ve ever been involved with has required authentication. That makes sense since (sorry about the sense-since thing, btw) the projects usually contain fairly sensitive data – at least to the company owning the intellectual property that’s documented. Since Google Reader is my preferred feed reader, I’m shut out of these feeds unless I want to invest the time to learn another one (I don’t). Web based services like Google can’t access secure feeds.
Until now.
