  • Mmm. Pudge and I have talked about this offline. Promoting blogging or blog consumption to a daily TODO item can lead to madness. Personally, I run through my "friends" list on use.perl.org, NVP [noopy.org], HFB [hietaniemi.org] and Jmac [jmac.org]. I also will check out blogs of people who comment on blogs (oddly enough). It seems like there is an interesting excerise in data mining in watching blogs, although I can't quite formulate what that excerise would be. Monitoring productivity loss in the work place, maybe? :-)

    • RSS Aggregators can make this easier for you--you get one page with links to all the latest news. Not that I use one, of course. A while ago I was spending two or three hours reading blogs a day, and that was just insane. Of course, I could claim it was research for the Essential Blogging book :-)

      I have a handful of non-use.perl blogs that I read. I'm just wondering whether I'm missing good stuff.

      As for datamining, I really want to gather a hundred peoples' bookmarks files and use clustering to see

      • I have a handful of non-use.perl blogs that I read. I'm just wondering whether I'm missing good stuff.

        I read a whole bunch of journals here, mostly to see what perl people are doing and see what my friends have to say here. Oh, and I check out the oreillynet blogs pretty regularly too. :-)

        For non-useperl blogs, I look for something that's interesting that contains news/links I won't find anywhere else. I've gotten into lisp recently, so I'm reading lemonodor [lemonodor.com], Lambda the Ultimate [weblogs.com] daily, and Paul Gra [paulgraham.com]

  • You should all read my journal and post comments so I feel loved :)
  • I see you've already got a couple of these on your friends list but I'll list mine anyway - all highly recommeded BTW:

    gav, gnat, ziggy, davorg, chromatic, acme, dbjerg96, jjohn, autarch, chaoticset, TorgoX, Purdy, Matts, james, ovid, pudge, simon (moved on), darobin, 2shortplanks, pne, larson, hfb (moved on).

    Based on comments to a recent Matts [perl.org] journal it would seem that others think it far too much effort to visit non use.perl.org blogs. I really don't understand what all the whining is about. I mean ho
    • It's too much effort since I use journal-to-mail to screenscrape use.perl.org and email me the journals whenever one of my 'friends'[1] posts a journal.

      [1] Oh, this also explains why my friends list doesn't have half the people's journals I read on it.

    • (gnat's friends list grows ...)

      Thanks!

    • I have 300K of bookmarks in my profile. They organized and things still get lost. It actually takes a lot of time to "check", I have realized this greatly since I created and started using le pnews [pthbb.org]

      Were that I say, pancakes?
    • The two I probably enjoy reading most are 2shortplanks & richardc. Mainly because they nearly always reference modules and stuff I really feel I ought to take a look at. Don't always get the time to, but I do like new toys every now and then.

      Of the others I read most, well they're already in your list ;)

  • Why not just check this page [perl.org] regularly?

    You are already friends with most of the heavy posters. A peek at what the others are saying might be a good way to make new friends.
