Weeknote #a41f0x
Great news! In adding some new feeds I started looking at the code for the site again and realized that there was a serious (and simple, dumb) error in the aggregated feed. That should be fixed now.
We’ve added a few new Weeknoters to the mix. Say hello to Tim Duckett, Robin Sloan, Rattle, Nordkapp, and Jim Meredith. Phew. That’s a total of 18 feeds from 5 countries now.
The US (7) and UK (6) are neck and neck, but little Finland (3) is not doing bad if you compare Weeknotes per capita. If the US had the same weeknotes/capita ratio as the US there would be over 1600 Weeknoters! Don’t worry, we think you’re pretty special too, Sweden and Holland!
We want to move away from Yahoo Pipes, but I haven’t had the time to sit down and write a proper parser that can regex the appropriate content if the feed does not come to us pre-sorted. For the record, people who offer a specific feed of only their Weeknotes in full text–I’m looking at you, Molly–make our life much easier and we appreciate that. A lot.
