Here it is all in one place (just about all). Now to figure out where to present it. Netvibes? Superglu? I am sure something new is over the horizon.

Tiger amidst packaging

Middle of the night I find Tiger amidst the packaging. He loves it when there is stuff strewn around, else too sterile.

Why I have a lens filter
Posted by otterman on 27 June 2008
The guys at Song Brothers filed the edges and managed to use a scissor’s blade inserted in the grooves to twist the filter out after 10 minutes, phew! The threads were thankfully undamaged even though the filter had sunk in after a hit. The cracked glass was recent, appearing after the Lim Chu Kang mangroves field trip last Saturday.
A filter is the first thing I ask for with a new SLR camera. Just think of that unscathed lens!

CNA blogs combined feed courtesy of Yahoo pipes
Posted by otterman on 27 June 2008
This morning, I was early at Orchard Cineleisure for a meeting about International Coastal Cleanup Indonesia, so I opened up my iBook and saw a comment from Tym, asking for a combined feed for the eight CNA blogs I had mentioned yesterday.
This had been one of the first things mentioned by my RSS-savvy kakis as well, so I thought I may as well push out a combined feed via Yahoo Pipes. All it took was a “union” of eight feeds, a descending sort by published date and it was ready. In just a few minutes despite a jumpy wireless@sg signal.
While I waited for my reply to Tym’s comment to upload, I shortened the feed to snipurl.com/cnablogs and threw out a message via Twitter.
When I finally reconnected elsewhere (in search of a Google map of Bintan), I learnt that Kevin in Buffalo had already added the rss feed to his Singapore “Alltop” aggregator; go see what he has up there!
I stumbled on Yahoo pipes a year ago when trying to generate the one feed to rule them all. One of my pipes feed carried most of my feeds minus comments and I used that for the now pretty much defunct Jaiku which sat very nicely on the sidebar of my old blog. the other feed I use for myself to check that all is okay with my various blogs. It choked a little in those days in some scenarios but worked well this morning.
Cat licking arm. Gotta go.
