DIYPlanet

June 24, 2005 [Meta, Tech]

When I wrote DIYBlog it occurred to me that what I was writing would translate into a blog aggregator pretty easily, and so I'm working on making that so. I'd like to start a little community of Java developers who are working on small free and open source software Java programs, so we can start to communicate through our blogs and help each other out with thorny issues e.g. how to get our programs working with an all free software systems (more on that later).

For the moment I'm working on aggregating my own favourite feeds, which you can see here: Planet Andy. All this is/will be running on pure FTP web space, with a little cron job running on my own machine to keep it updated. Of course, that does mean it only works when my machine is turned on...
