What's new on the site

Here's an RSS feed of what's new on my web site, and here's an RSS feed of what's new on my blog. At some point, I'll write a tool to merge RSS feeds to make this more convenient.

RSS Tools

Here is a zip file that contains three jar files. Together, these jars provide a program to traverse a local directory tree of html/htm files and find the most recent ones, placing them into an RSS feed file. Unzip the file into a single directory and use a command line like:

java -jar lib/anns-rss-dist.jar -d /Users/roberthays/Documents/Bob\ and\ Aviva\'s\ Web\ Site/ -u http://www.alephnaught.com -s 10 -r ~/rsstest.rss

where:

-u specifies the base URL of the actual web site
-d specifies the base directory of the local view of the web site
-s specifies the number of items to have in the feed file
-r is the feed file to produce

I developed this tool because I use tools like DreamWeaver and Nvu to build web sites on a local system and post them remotely, and I wanted to have an RSS feed of what's new for the main site as well as my blog. The program has a graphical interface as well - you can run that version using Java WebStart from this page.
