The only problem is that I’m too lazy to do that every time I need to use some software. I wonder why Ohloh doesn’t just use Google to find all SVN repos to crawl?

Here’s my feed if you’re interested: http://friendfeed.com/sergeychernyshev

P.S. almost like http://sergeychernyshev.feedfriends.com/ ;)

It’s quite interesting how they built their platform and they are probably first to do this kind of thing, at least among big players.

Anyway, come and take a looks at Friends Explorer application. Currently it shows birthday time-lines for your friends, but more features will follow (only if you’ll add it ;)).

Task is not very obvious until you understand that http://www.example.com/ and http://example.com/ are the same server and there is no need to open two connections if you want to get data from both sites.

Moreover http://*.livejournal.com and http://*.blogger.com are the same server.

how you do resolution – using DNS or using some other algorithm is left to developer.

Anyway – her it is: LWP::ConnCache::Resolving.

I also started to think about converting TechPresentations.com from blog to Wiki. In any case, I’ll post update it in a coming week to reflect the knowledge I got at the conference.

I was doing some bookmark and widget coding I realized that there is no tool to load JSON data from remote hosts. While plenty of libraries provide you with various tools to organize your XMLHttpRequests and other hacks to load data asynchronously from your site, none of them allow you to overcome same-host security limitations and load data from other sites without using some sort of server side proxy.

So to streamline the rest of the development I wrote a library that can be used to load JSON-formatted data from remote hosts without spending your own traffic.

See project page here: JSON Remote Loader

P.S. as part of this project, I got some experience using JSLint, Firebug, Google code project hosting and even wrote Makefile to automate minification and colorizing as well as zipping of the code.

So, even if you don’t use Feed Friends sharing functionality, you can still enjoy Feed Preprocessor part of the system and use it to get If-Feed controls to work for you.

P.S. Actually Feed Preprocessor configurator allows you to pick more controls then listed on infeedcontrols.com and they include: del.icio.us, Technorati search, Digg, Feed Friends, Newsvine, Fark, Reddit, Yahoo! My Web and Netscape.

I’ve tweaked original MDHP scripts to produce Pixelotto versions of the graphs as well:

I hope this time I’ll be given some credit over these graphs if they’ll be used on Alex’s site.
