I haven't tried it, but after seeing the results from my little baby, I'm not surprised this it out already.

News Feed for the brain

This does not shock me that much, but I was pretty frustrated in trying to generate a feed for the alwatan newspaper website. Since they themselves do not have a feed, I've taken it upon my self to create one for them. So I try and try to "decode" their html.. so i decided to run a validation and see what could be wrong so I'd take it into account. Here is where it really gets interesting..

Transparent: Web Applications

I usually do not do reviews, but here are a few web applications I think are worth looking at.

* Google Reader: With the same flexibility and power of Gmail, you can now have your own online RSS reader. With a powerful interface and easy to use options and tag features. I liked how dynamic it is, and how easy it is to browse and check for new feed items.

* BackPackit: I've heard of this many times before I decided to use it. Currently the best use I have for it is planning my custom PC. I'm planning to build one from scratch and it is perfect for organizing all the data, links, and information i need for this project.

* Co.mments: I'm not much of a "commenter" type when it comes to blogs, but there are quite a few that I do comment on, and what better way to track replies than this website? You simply click the bookmarklet to track the post, and you are instantly subscribed. You can access your tracking page with a click. But the best feature is the RSS feed for the tracking page. Now I can track new posts and new comments with my (Google) rss reader!

Transparently Assorted

* I hate failed RSS feeds whats up with that?

* The WEB (2.0) has changed for ever. If you're up and current on tech check out this beautiful video below.



* SumbleUpon my new favorite Firefox addon! It is a surfing addon, it recommends websites, images, videos, etc based on your interests and you wouldn't even believe the stuff they got there! Wonderful..

* Coffee, oh how I love thee..

* HEROES: Can't wait for the next episode.. Peter..!

* Aura, Energy, Chi, Ki, Chakara.. do you believe in it?

* While on StumbleUpon I came accross a lovely website, Imagining the 10th dimention. It is a flash introducing the first chapter of the book, purly amazing!

* Finally, yes I was away for quite a while because I was over whelmed at work, I was working on a project and sometimes I get addicted to my work, especially if it is interesting enough.. and I only blog/check blogs from work.. :P

* Regards to you all, missed ya!

Offline

I have been offline for the past 4 days. A relief well needed yet draining it is. I had to use the GPRS to check for mail, replying was a pain, so I delayed that. I will admit I have become extremely dependent on the Internet as a daily part of my life. Without it, I'd be sent into a confused and irritated state. Maybe that is not so good, but the past few days gave me time to reflect on quite a few things. Like the new invention that I thought about... coming up in next post.
