For many years now I’ve had either a website or at least a webpage. Back when I was in college I could post really weird, esoteric stuff because only my friends would possibly visit my webpage (who else but college students and computer geeks had internet connections a decade ago?). Since getting married, and later having Nicholas the audience (you) has changed quite a bit. Not that I have the energy, but I’d like to routinely post some software related stuff on a blog. I’m reading stuff all the time, learning tricks, new ideas – but if I post them here it’ll just frustrate grandpa while he navigates for the latest baby photos.

I’d like to know if there’s any interest in this, otherwise this entire site may become a online baby scrapbook. I’m not going to post a poll to count votes. Slashdot and other noisy places do those enough already. Please email me or send comments if you think I should blog about technical stuff more. Lisa will continue to post the latest details about Nick, so that won’t stop. One of the great features about this blog is the content can be filtered by category, as well as date, poster etc.

For all you Unix users out there, here’s a tasty morsel that’ll help you stay up to date with me. I tried posting the code, but there are many regular expressions, slashes and stuff, which get confused with HTML. Just download rss_headlines.sh

To execute it, save it off as a file, make it executable and supply an RSS URL:

./rss_headlines.sh http://yunt.net/blog/b2rss2.php
