Feeds

First published 26th March 2020 (Last Modified 7th February 2021)

I used to follow a whole bunch of RSS feeds. When Google stopped its RSS reader back in 2013, I converted this very web page on my personal site to gather RSS feeds for me. However my personal usage of that page steadily dropped and in 2019 (which, by then, was based on WordPress) I converted the site to a set of static pages I concluded that maintaining that page was basically infeasible. However I also have a policy of trying to avoid 404 errors for URLs that previously existed. Now, to be fair, I had broken that rule as I've only today noticed that the URL for my 'feeds' page no longer has a page backing it. This is to rectify that error.

As a memoriam, I used to follow RSS feeds from Slashdot, Coding Horror, Cédric Beust's Otaku blog, Igor Ostrovsky Blogging, Bruce Schneier's Blog, Coding Cookies, Cheshire Engineering, The secret barrister, Mark Evanier (Writer of Groo), Patrick Smith (Ask the Pilot), Humble Bundle, Rosemary Kirstein, Sue and Matthew,1 and Syndey Padua. It's interesting to note that most of these haven't been updated in years!
