I was at a tech training conference the other month and recently discovered Zappier and If This Then That. So here I am jumping on the bandwagon!

So far I’ve only setup If This Then That and only a handful of things:

• When NASA’s image of the day changes, change my android phone’s wallpaper
• Save Fitbit sleep logs to Google Spreadsheets
• Document Fitbit activity to Google Spreadsheet
• Log every time I charge my phone to a google spreadsheet
• Liked YouTube videos post to this site
• Uploaded public YouTube videos post to this site
• Twitter tweets post to this site
• New Flickr photos post to this site

The phone wallpaper change is pretty neat, I like having the new backgrounds daily. Some of the other ones are interesting for data logging. The main big/good change is that it’s much easier to setup integrations here so the old webpage will see some activity. Admittedly all I’ve been mostly using this site for is my tiny tiny rss installation. Ideally this site is a nexus for all these other cool technologies and converging in one space.

This has made me really want to look into the smart lighting and smart car automations that ITTT has with Auto and Hue. Even Nest as well. Setup a scenario where as I leave, the thermostat is automatically turned off when I’m gone. As I come home or as I enter the lights turn on for me, etc. OR this is all a hilarious overuse of technology and it just highlights my want to throw money at my laziness.

My resistance to setting up Instagram is that someone stole my username already and thinking up a good name is agonizing.

VERSE 1
Just look me in the eye and tell me baby where are you going, where you going
You tell me in a way without me ever really knowin, really knowin
And though I try, though I try, though I try to relax it’s getting hard to hold back
You got a talent girl you know just how to get what you’re wanting, what you’re wanting

PRE CHORUS
I’ve come across your kind before
But you’re not gonna fool me rich girl
No more than…

CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!

VERSE 2
I should have known from the moment when you walked in the door still wearing your shades
That you were gonna have some trouble knowing how to behave child, behave child
Ooo you got money, got style, got a body, but I can’t locate a soul
Come on honey don’t fool me like you did before

PRE CHORUS
I’ve come across your kind before
And you’re not gonna fool me rich girl
No more than..

CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame on you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
For sharing just a little bit, oh just a little bit…

BRIDGE
More than he should have when you cried to him “please” and the tears they ran down your face
And he caved and he gave you all that money could buy and now I’m standing right here trying to take his place

CHORUS
You can fool me baby..
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit, just a little bit
CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!

I’d been slaving away on a work project and slowly became really fascinated by twitch.tv. I don’t know why or how people decide to stream or how and why people start watching streams but it’s a really interesting community. I broke down and decided for various reasons to start one up of my own located here: http://www.twitch.tv/avarimkc. Mostly I play WoW but I break things up with League of Legends and other things (lately Borderlands 2). I don’t expect the stream to take off but hopefully if you watch, it is at least entertaining.

TellMeWhen | Tutorial 1 | Tutorial 2

So for a long while PowerAuras was broken for me. What was interesting about PA was that I used it only to track somewhat minor things, various buffs and debuffs on me or my target. Fed up with PA not being updated, I started seeking out alternatives and stumbled on TellMeWhen. Read the rest of this entry

Here are the 3 I tried based on recommendation: Feedly | TheOldReader.com | Tiny Tiny RSS

When I tried Feedly here’s what I liked/hated

Liked

• Imported starred items
• Relatively quick in response
• Great iPad app (very similar to Flipboard)

Hated (please note, things changed I hear since I last used this so some of these complaints may or may not be valid)

• Required extension (I hear they have a website now)
• Lack of a mark articles as read older than x days. I am a heavy heavy user of this feature

So the hated list is super short and in fact a non-issue and you would think I would have migrated to Feedly but I perhaps jumped on that ship too early and now it’s too late to win me back.

TheOldReader.com likes/hates

Liked

• Very classic Reader interface
• I enjoy seeing numbers beyond 1000 (ex. 1252 items unread)

Hated

• Update speed. There’s something about it that felt a little behind when using it side by side with Google Reader. 
• Overall speed, felt a bit sluggish. However using it now it feels a bit zippier
• Lack of a mark articles as read older than x days. I am a heavy heavy user of this feature
• No starred items imported
• While it has a very classic interface, it’s also got a lot of dead space

And finally Tiny Tiny RSS

Likes

• Full control! Will never die since I host it!
• Speedy, feels great scrolling and j/k-ing through articles
• Has mark as read over x days old
• Imported starred items
• Shows fresh articles (articles X hours old)
• Customizable look via css

Hates

• Update speed limited to either last 15 minutes or manual refresh if you’re looking at a feed
• Broken RSS feeds had to be manually fixed
  • This is not actually TTRSS’s fault. Google Reader auto-found any broken RSS feeds but in the import I had to manually fix a bunch of them

I installed it on this webserver and my regret is that I’m running off mysql instead of postgresql which I hear is much faster. I’m toying around with the idea of running a VM at home and trying out how much better it would be like that however the overhead of ensuring the security seems like a pain. Really though, what I love about TTRSS is that it has all the features I use plus more. I really didn’t have to sacrifice as much (no starred/keyboard shortcuts/marking as read) as other services plus I don’t live in fear that someone will sink and I have to migrate yet again.

I do understand that not many people have the luxury of installing and running TTRSS. Sounds like at work, the coworkers are using Feedly. I think if theoldreader let me import starred items things would be pretty different. AOL, Digg, and even Facebook are rumored to get in on the RSS bandwagon so while this is the close of the silver age of RSS, the future seems pretty good actually.

Well it’s not perfect but I’ve added a sidebar widget for my shared feed links, which can also be viewed/subscribed to here: https://www.timothyhanson.com/tt-rss/public.php?op=rss&id=-2&view-mode=all_articles&key=552b6e562929f3b0ced7ed3f60ed6fbe15e56888

In the war to win over hearts as the new Google Reader replacement, I’ve tried Feedly, theoldreader, and Tiny Tiny RSS and the winner is TTRSS. Although admittedly I still use Flipboard and Feedly on the iPad. I’ll go into more depth on those later but for now I finally have RSS articles again! I may work on getting them to be posted articles though as opposed to widget feed. Can’t decide.
