Erin’s new site

For a long time, Erin had a WordPress blog running at erin.oconnor.cx, but—with some notable exceptions—the only posts were her daily del.icio.us bookmarks.

So we’ve just built and launched a new homepage for her, which consolidates her online presence from several sources: her LiveJournal, her flickr photos, her del.icio.us bookmarks, her twitter statuses, and posts to the Snowclones Database.

The site is actually a static page, regenerated every night by a simple Python script run from cron. The script uses httplib2 to fetch and cache the feeds, the Universal Feed Parser to parse them, and Genshi to generate the page itself.
