Custom Feeds
Adrian Holovaty has custom RSS feeds.  Nice innovation.  As I begin to scale the number of RSS feeds I subscribe to, I am starting to think that I need multiple "news" pages.  One for general reading and others for filtered feeds (based on keywords) that will prevent me from missing critical information in the general page (it "flips" very quickly).

My custom feeds include the headline, full text and permalink from the 5 latest entries that include a word or phrase of your choosing. This lets you filter which Holovaty.com content you get.  To access a custom feed, use the URL convention holovaty.com/rss/filterstring, where "filterstring" is the word or phrase you want to require in each entry... A few examples:

• holovaty.com/rss/washingtonpost.com -- last 5 entries including "washingtonpost.com"
• holovaty.com/rss/site+review -- last 5 entries including the words "site" and "review"
• holovaty.com/rss/"site+review" -- last 5 entries including the exact phrase "site review"
• holovaty.com/rss/"auto%20refresh" -- last 5 entries including the exact phrase "auto refresh"

MetaWeblog API Spec Draft: MetaWeblog API Spec. This is the unified spec, ready for developer review. Includes a provision for appkey transmission to meet one of the objections Google has with using the API with Blogger. Now is the time to review the spec for errors, things that aren't clear, omissions, deal-stoppers, but not for religious purity. I'd love to get Google on board with support of this API, I know it's not likely (not sure why), but I don't give up easily. [Scripting News]

XMail 1.0.2 is a new scripting addition for Mac OS X, you can send mails from Applescript very easily, you can of course use recipients of various type (To, Cc, Bcc), and you can send attachments with your email. XMail is free and under the GNU GPL License and source code is available. [Der Schockwellenreiter]

MySQL Subqueries
DevShed just posted part two of a two-part series (part one) on sub-queries in MySQL 4.1. The MySQL 4.x series is finally seeing some adoption by web hosts ( mine are up to 4.013) and hopefully, series like this will help egg some of the laggards along. [Artima Web Buzz]
