9:12:43 PM    k-collector recap

Introducing WWWW. In the last weeks I've been posting here and there about topics, aggregators, K-collector and other assorted stuff. Maybe it's the case to recap and try to explain a little bit better what we are up to. Here we go [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

Paolo gives a good account of what k-collector is all about.

 

2:41:16 PM    Remote collaborative debugging

Working together I think Simone and I have cracked the problem with the XML-RPC ping to k-collector not working properly.  If so, this post will appear more as less as soon as it is posted.

 

2:27:03 PM    Ping! Ping! Ping!

Still trying to make the pings work right.  It'll be worth it in the end ;-)

 

1:31:55 PM    Another attempted ping

The last ping didn't work.  Hopefully this one will.

12:40:42 PM    k-collector RSS pings

This is a quick test to check and make sure that the new k-collector RSS ping facility is working.  What this means is that instead of the server polling every feed once per hour (as it does now) it will respond to an XML-RPC ping from the client.  The client sends the server a ping every time it upstreams a new rss.xml file.  This means that the server uses less bandwidth and resources, and is always immediately up to date!
