- HOWTO: Adding an RSS Feed to a Subversion Server ★
-
Bill Bumgarner:
I have now gone on stage twice and talked about how useful an RSS feed is for a subversion server. About time I actually document how to set up such a thing.
- Kiko Calendar Is Up for Sale on eBay ★
-
Jason Hoffman on Kiko, the Y Combinator-funded web calendaring startup that has placed its assets up for sale on eBay:
I love it.
Even the “Condition” is stated as “Used”, and the shipping is free.
