BlogLines featured in Linux Journal

I found the January 2005 issue of Linux Journal on my table today. A quick flip through the pages got me interested on the article about BlogLines. Reuven M. Lerner wrote about BlogLines service in general and its API in particular. There is a small example script in Perl with WebService::Bloglines too.

While I was suspecting that there should be something like API with Perl module available, I didn’t ever finished the thought. Now that I know these are available, I should think a bit more on how to utilize them. The two primary usages – notification and blogrolling – would be interesting but they aren’t to me. I have way to many blogs for notification. There are always new items to read. Blogrolling is also provided by BlogLines and I am pretty satisfied with what they offer – no need for customization.

Still I should check it out some time…

Black Knight

Watched “Black Knight” on DVD. It is an excellent comedy with Martin Lawrence. If like him, watch it, if not – then you better not, because it is rather cliche.

This film has got me thinking about something. It seems that mixing Middle Age with Modern Times is always funny. I am trying hard and I cannot remember one film which was bad with it. “Army of Darkness“, “Robin Hood: Men in Tights“, “Just Visiting” and now “Black Knight” are all successful movies. Was there any bad one? Can anyone remind me?

7 out of 10. The boxing in the woods and training of the rebels are my two favourite scenes.

Picture of the day

Apple pie

I do it rarely these days, but trust me, I still into photography and my “Picture of the day” project. It’s just that I want to refresh the project with some new subjects instead of the usual sunrises, ships in the sea and electrical appliences in my house. Today’s post is a picture of a cup of tea and piece of an apple pie.
