How to get a Facebook status RSS feed

Since my last post a couple of people have asked me how to get an RSS feed of your facebook status since the button was removed from the website. I’ve tried numerous methods found on various pages to no avail. Credit to Hugh for pointing out this very simple method; hopefully you’ll find this useful.

Interconnectivity

Bring on the trumpets to herald my arrival in (or perhaps submission to?) the huge and dizzying universe of web2.0. Not only am I on millions on Social Networking Sites with all kinds of different emphases, but most of them connect with each other. Joy of joys.

Merry Christmas (War is over)

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!

Some interesting discussions going on today and some lessons to be learnt from diving back in to the blogosphere. Banter on Twitter with…well, twits, I guess is fine – you block each other and forget all about it if it really doesn’t work out – but when teh interwebz cross over with issues IRL then one must tread more carefully. I think that treading more carefully is a very valid life lesson which I should take on board anyway – I’m pretty insensitive at the best of times. But when one is publically recording ones thoughts one should probably realise the potential audience; in this context, just about anyone. It’s tempting to find ones self (ok, myself) being drawn in to the delusion that you must communicate your point and when you do so effectively everyone will understand and agree. It’s not the case! Thankfully we are all so very different and our opinions and experiences clearly reflect this. I think that commentary on a topic and actual dialogue between interested parties – or even between any particular individual human beings – are very different; there are different social conventions. Interestingly, people might have different ideas concerning what those are and it turns out they’re probably different from yours. I have a lot of respect for the author of this post which I found particularly insightful and something to which I should definitely refer back to at a later stage.

I was reminded of bits of Romans 12, specifically, wait, no, generally. Pretty much all of it. Go read it, it’s got pretty far reaching implications.

“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

I think this is to do with the principles of the oft quoted Micah 6:8 rather than just prohibiting physical violence with neighbours. In fact I would go as far as to say that it seems that a lot of what Jesus had to say was more about developing Godly attitudes and relationships than avoiding doing bad stuff. As the Pharisees found out, you can avoid doing bad stuff all day long and still have a terrible attitude to those around you, those in need and even God. I think that I end up stuck in concentric circles of legalism and guilt and invented or perceived rules when I’m pretty sure that Jesus set me free from all of that and just wants me to focus on him. Perhaps I should put a lot more heart and soul in to doing that.

Title Change

So I changed the title, largely to make it a bit of a geeky reference to a Lemon Jelly song on their Lost Horizons Album. In fact I just wanted to play with adding links to see how it works.

So…This is a post which is exciting becuase I’ve not really done one before.

However I’m not entirely convinced that I’ve a great deal to say. I’m not really sure what the purpose of all this is except probably for my own entertainment. I’ve recently decided to take a step beyond firefox and declared that open source is in fact the way forward. More on this later. I’m also failing my degree and dealing with breaking up with my girlfriend so I’m probably far more angsty than I ever should be for my age. Still let’s see if we can’t channel that in to sarcastic remarks and pretend that I’m actually fairly witty.

Anyway, I keep finding things on the intertubes which I want to share with people and I thought that maybe this was a good way to do it. We shall see.

Another terribly exciting entry

Oh how will you cope?

This is an entry

How terribly exciting for it.
