Good thing I never got into it.
As I wrote in a previous post, I’ve been planning on moving joshmoody.com away from a blog and instead make it an aggregation of the social networking sites I actually use.
That finally happened this week. On the spur of the moment one night, I decided to update the OS on my Linux web server from an ancient version of CentOS to the latest and greatest Ubuntu. I REALLY like Ubuntu… it’s by far the easiest Linux distro to set up and maintain I’ve ever used. After the upgrade, I decided to go ahead use the programming I’d been working on for my new front page.
I wrote an aggregator in PHP that takes new items from the public RSS feeds from my Twitter, Flickr, and Photobucket accounts and shoves them in a database. Then I can easily display those items on my website in the order in which they were posted.
I still have a little work to do on this, but it’s functional enough to use. Not like anyone will actually read it any way
