Monday, October 27, 2025 Made good progress on a FeedLand performance issue. The new version is running on feedland.org . We're getting ready to try it on other systems. On the way I hit a problem with the wpcom package that implements the WordPress API in Node.js. Apparently the new version depends on babel/runtime , but it isn't listed as a dependency in their package.json file. I worked around the problem by adding that dependency in wpidentity's package.json file, and that fixed the problem. Had trouble getting this report in their issues section. # The trip to Canada really changed my perspective. Spending more time thinking than developing new stuff. One thing is for sure, we're going to depend on FeedLand more as we go two-way in WordLand. I've been here before. Have to let my mind mull things over before the movement resumes. # Linkblog items for the day Medicare Advantage: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver...

Sunday, October 26, 2025 Vote your chess move # Rebecca Solnit : "I think of voting as a chess move, not a valentine." # I changed the header graphic on Scripting News today to raise a question with NYC voters. # Bill de Blasio was mayor. A funeral for two murdered cops. The police stand at attention, their backs turned on the mayor. This was a statement about him for sure, but even more about their disdain for the people who elected him, you and me, the people they're sworn to protect. I grew up in NY, and had plenty of experience with NY cops and this kind of disrespect is, from my point of view, who they are. I know they see themselves as martyrs, that's what the demonstration meant. But they also have a job to do and a chain of command. # There's a lot of pent up resentment and you can't just wish it away. The mayor, for better or worse, owns it. I can't imagine they'd have much respect for the Democra...

Saturday, October 25, 2025 WordPress and AI # I see that the WordPress world is getting interested in adding AI features. I had some ideas a few years ago , about how I would like AI to be hooked up to blogging, and the ideas have developed a bit in the years since. # As a writer I want most is every bit of writing I've published turned into any kind of book I want at any time. # An example of a book lurking in the archive of my blog. # A user's guide to FeedLand. # Knowing the AI would pull a users manual together on command, I'd feel more comfortable writing about it on my blog. As it is there's a lot of good info between other blog posts. # I think it's a great time to invest in new ideas for writers. # I have pretty good search on my blog, but so much more is possible. # Imagine a series of book types you could ask your AI friend to build for you from your own writing. # Eventually all user'...

Friday, October 24, 2025 Great to see Les Orchard reading my site again. We did some great stuff together a long time ago in Frontier. He converted code from Perl (I think) to Frontier so I could use S3 for storage for users. I still use his code to this day. He's been writing of his memories of great feed reading tools of 20+ years ago, and I keep trying to tell my friend Les that the system we have now makes those products look primitive, as it should because so many years have passed. In 2022, I decided to give RSS another try. First I did a top to bottom review of RSS, and then I built FeedLand . If you loved feeds and mourn the day the music died, I have good news, it didn't die, you all just stopped believing it could happen. # FeedLand and WordPress # We've had a performance issue in FeedLand that we finally think we have tracked down. I'm working slowly and carefully on a new version with the new thinking. If it works, I'...

Thursday, October 23, 2025 I'm really happy with the way WordPress News is shaping up. Every community should have a news site like this. # Also after last week's conference we're starting to get help from the open source developer community around WordPress. Really friendly people, excited about what we can all do together. # Think different about developers # Tell the people who make AI's -- I want a way to have apps run in your browser that has direct connections to the AI engine, and it connects via the user's credentials, not the app devs (though you are entitled to know who the developer is). When I explored the idea of making apps for ChatGPT, this was the roadblock, I have to become a reseller of your service. Can't you figure out how to let the user pay directly? I just want to make tools, not be in the retail AI business. Feh. # This is the same problem web devs have, we have to become resellers for Amazon S3. W...
