experimental glug.org atom feed available

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

folks,

if you have an atom feed processor, try pointing it at:

  http://www.glug.org/zup.zup

at the moment the feed includes only category "ttn software", but
probably "docbits", "data", and finally "projects list", will be added
in the next month or so.  the latter has been waiting for atom feeds,
to revert the manual-hoarding model back to the syndication model (thus
properly distributing maintenance) for quite a long time, so a little
more patience is not unreasonable...

if you are curious how zup.zup is made, see:

  http://www.glug.org/people/ttn/software/.cron.html
  http://www.glug.org/.cron.html

(btw, omitting the ".html" accesses the scheme code directly.)  there
are some other files, but these two programs should give you an idea of
the two phases involved.  adding the other categories involves adding
more children .cron jobs; the top-level will probably not change much.

finally, if you find yourself asking "what exactly is a .cron job?"
or "what does it all mean?", take a look at:

don't be a passenger; drive yourself to distraction!
