# Mind bombs with delayed fuses

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000026U0"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000026U0.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" /></a>Sometimes this blog thing surprises me, like [when someone digs up][lion] [something I tinkered with][pipe] briefly a few years ago and finds that it was just the puzzle piece needed.  And it also surprises me when someone else gets some of the same [enthusiasm I had][bomb] for one of my ideas.

This looks like it might be interesting.  Also, I've been meaning to update the XmlRpcFilteringPipe in a more REST-ian bent, using both POSTed data pushed through the filter and GET queries supplied with URLs in query parameters to pull data through the filter.

            <div class="content">The other day I wrote a ChangeLog-to-RSS thing in Perl for my project which is hosted on savannah.gnu.org (sf.net already has it).  I added a link pattern that allows you to include links to the original source files, too (since Savannah uses viewcvs, the files are available online).  Wanted to add a comment to your very old ChangeLog-to-RSS article, but it was no longer possible.</div>
