小鲨(我桌面电脑上的SharpReader )到了自动遍历的时间(每隔两个小时),于是照例对520多“肉丝”源(RSS Feed)扫描一遍,先对比一下本地的MD5文摘,有变化的不多,于是懒洋洋地弹出几个英文Blog的最近更新内容,中文则没有。“嗯”,小鲨想,“大家肯定都在休息呢,周五是大部分Blog上留言最少的一天,周六、周日则是更新最少的两天。每周二三四则是最热闹的时候,那几天我自然要猛吃更多鲜肉,还顺带CPU和内存。”

小鲨的想法没错,不过他还是忽略了一些我们人类才能够注意到的Blog更新。有些Blog虽然没有新的内容,但是Blogger可能在已有的贴子中做过修改,小鲨并没有发现。这些Blog的RSS源有一个问题(或称“特色”?),那就是只提供部分内容(完整内容的一个固定字数/比例的“摘要”),所以如果Blogger 对Blog内容的余下部分作了修改,RSS中是没有任何变化的。难怪小鲨无法发现,错过了美食一顿的机会。其实提供部分内容也不是Blogger的本意,提供RSS的本意就是“被发现和让小鲨这样的聚合器吃掉”。但是一些Blog工具本身的缺省设置就是部分内容(例如MovableType),而不是Blog全文内容。小鲨不但喜欢全文的RSS,这样可以利用Filter 功能(Ctrl+Shift+F)搜索到关键词,还希望全文RSS是转义的丰富的HTML,也就是包含了链接和图片,这样可以显示哪些RSS之间的内容中摘引了相同的链接或相互关联(看到”+”越多的RSS条目越开心)。将来小鲨长大了,还可以用Bayes/Burst算法自动嗅出哪些是最近最热门的“腥味”话题,不至于整天拾人牙慧。可是RSS要是不争气,始终残缺不全,就是没法做到。
“整天吃那些白菜豆腐,还有上顿没有下顿,真没劲!”,听了我的解释,小鲨郁闷不已,却也只能咬牙切齿而已。还有,谁叫今天是礼拜天呢?
Blogger们,救救小鲨吧…
(起码对于使用MT的用户,可以学学动物保护人士Jeffrey W. Schuler是如何修改“肉丝”模版的。)
Sam Ruby’s thought on XAML, will MS win more with this new generation of technolgy?
Parminder prefers Coke, so much so that if a restaurant only offers Pepsi, he??ll go with water. One day, in a blind taste test, he chooses Pepsi, and is swept by a feeling of dislocation. Will he switch colas? “Of course not,” Parminder snaps. “I prefer Coke.” —- [Meme Warefare]
Applying Meme theory to analyze SS will be helpful, especially on trust myth. Truse me-me.
“You’ve been thiner than before”, it’s from comments by some friends recenlty met me. It’s a good sign or not? Yes, I’m working hard. However, I’m always running a stable time table instead of breaking up schedule randomly. I think it can do good to my health, safety and mood. So thinker could be better, unless it’s some potential diseases, such as Diabetes.
Hi all friends, are you ok now? Be kind to your body, and it can generate value for you longer. Trust me.
