So Meta, It Hurts

Powered by Venus, HSVLocals is my new shiny little bauble. Repurposing feed data for re-presentation? Awesome.

Why is this meta? Well, you’ll note that my feed is purposed out from the Planet install I have on GFMorris.net … which aggregates everything that I have. Yes … GFMorris.net pulls in all the feeds I ask of it, slices, dices, and juliennes, then whips up a nice soufflé … which HSVLocals snarfs down as fuel to make something awesome of its own. I like it when I can make computers do my bidding!

My next goal is to find a way to integrate comment feeds into a sidebar or something. To do that, I’d have to do more than just use works-out-of-the-box templates. Right now, that’s all I’ve got energy for … I’m still coming off of my pain point.
