; Hello World


A little late, this week.
This morning I awoke to an email asking me about RSS Feeds over at AGameAWeek, so I've spent an alarming amount of time, today, working on those.
It was relatively easy to get the core rss working, but then trying to get the site to pick good thumbnails for each post was much harder.
In the end I've opted to scan for any uploaded images for that post, or simply revert back to the logo.
Trying to sift through the blog posts to find random images seemed like too much of a chore.

Once done, I then spent most of the evening trying out the feed in various readers, and making tweaks to the feed as I do.
My favourite "display" is currently the one coming from inoreader.com, which uses the media, and has a nice "Dark Mode" theme.
Lookiiing goood!!

I'm now considering whether to create some kind of "Poetry -> Image" script, to generate little thumbnails for the "Poetry Corner" section of AGameAWeek.
..
At which point I went "Oh, shit, the newsletter!!" and hurredly closed 100 things, so I could focus on this instead.

"Who"? I thought, as I saw a tweet announcing the death of Dick Miller.
I didn't know the name, but I sure as hell knew the face, and I'm 99% sure that you will, too.
