Sunday, June 16, 2024 Cat Stevens : "Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy." # Buffalo Springfield : "You make the rules, you say what's fair." # I've written a crawler for the network of blogrolls via connective links in HTML and/or RSS feeds. When I started the project, I had no idea what I'd find. How many blogrolls of what quality. I still don't know the extent of it, but there's a non-trivial number of blogrolls out there. I'm thinking about ways to get a handle on all the feeds in all the blogrolls, and see what we get from that. And I'm beginning to see the utility of FeedLand as a feed operating system, which is what I wanted it to be. It's not just a feed reader. It's able to do things most feed readers don't do, maybe none do. We don't have a good grasp of the depth of the feed products either. I will of course share the results when they are shareable. # Three movies I've watched in ...

Saturday, June 15, 2024 "If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him." -- Beatles . # This function is included in every bit of software I write. Never know when you might need a random snarky slogan. I added two today. 1. There's no time like now, and 2. Mirrors lie. # I have a server that's returning OPML files. It's not the first time I've done this, but now there seem to be enough other people interested in this that it's worth raising this question. What content type should I use. Generally I've been using text/xml. But I see other people using text/opml. Here's a thread . # One place I could use ChatGPT-like functionality, in debugging CSS. I'd like to put my cursor on an object in Elements view and ask why does this object have a width of 1054.09px. When I look it up in the Computed panel it's greyed out, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the debugger to explain this. But the...

Friday, June 14, 2024 Thanks Mr President. This needed to be said. # I'd like YouTube TV to let me block Fox News. It shows up on their home screen as the default channel and it starts playing automatically. For some reason they've decided need to watch Fox News. Please stop doing that. Not just for me, for everyone. If there has to be a default make it something easy like Seinfeld perhaps. Or Law & Order. I haven't switched from Spectrum, I'm trying YouTube TV while I think about switching. This is a small thing, but might be a deal-stopper. I don't want my nose rubbed in how evil they are. I know. I want to turn on TV to escape. A Julie Andrews movie perhaps. # I hate sticky keyboards. Very low tolerance. # Matt Terenzio , who has been a friend for many years, threw a fat pitch about people like me who think the NY Times has a lot of explaining to do. I don't think anyone is listening, but my issue with the Times is when they embrace...

Thursday, June 13, 2024 "Too much of everything is just enough." -- The Dead . # I'm working on a server app to read blogroll source in OPML, and build a database of other blogrolls that are linked to feeds in the original blogroll, accessed via the feed or html source . It was a lucky thing when I designed the format for subscription lists back in the 00s that it included the htmlUrl attribute, it makes the HTML easier to find (though the channel-level link element in the feed could play the same role). Anyway, of course I'm using a SQL database for all this, and when I was thinking about it initially I thought "no big deal" it's a variant of a SQL table I've now done a dozen times. But it was a big deal, because I've yet to come up with a way to factor this so that I have a library that knows how to make the kind of table that keeps coming up all the time, to bury the complexity and make creating a new one much simpler. Same ...

Building Integrations with the Oracle DB APEX & ORDS - Part 3 Jun 13, 2024 · 10 min read Sending Data to Other Systems Introduction This is the final post in my series on "Building Cost-Effective Integrations with the RAD Stack" (Oracle REST Data Services, APEX, and the Database). In this post, I will focus on how we can send data to other systems with help from APEX and the Oracle Database. You can 'send' data to other systems in two ways. One is to initiate sending data from the APEX / the database, and the other is to allow other systems to come and get the data they need whenever needed. I will discuss both approaches in this post. 3rd Party System Fetch The most cost-effective way to send data to third-party systems is to create an ORDS REST API and allow the systems to access the data themselves. With ORDS, this can be as easy as: Write a SELECT Statement Create a Module, Template & Handler Secure the Module using OAuth2 Client Credentia...
