I suppose I should talk about this website’s feeds for a moment. I’ll probably get back to talking smack about billionaires soon enough.
First, I had noticed that images and links to other pages on this website weren’t working correctly in my feeds. This was because I use relative paths for all internal links to make the site easy to read offline, and had made some mistakes in my scripts and makefile that left these links broken. You can’t use relative links in RSS or Atom feeds, only in HTML.
If you have a reasonably well-behaved feed reader, it should have pulled the improved feeds already.
Next, starbreaker.org no longer provides JSON feeds.
I can’t be bothered to continue providing them since most feed readers don’t support them.
If you’re currently using /follow/everything.json or /follow/headlines.json, these URLs have HTTP 301 redirects to their XML counterparts.
If you’re using a well-behaved feed reader to consume my old JSON feeds, you should be fine.
If you were pulling my JSON feeds for custom JavaScript, you’ll have to learn how to consume XML for a change.
(You’ll get over it.)
Finally, I am thinking of replacing my RSS feeds with Atom feeds. I may explain the rationale for this when I actually do it. I’m in no rush to make this change, however. It can wait.
