[REDDIT] Rusty Pipes Are Flowing Again

Some of my old pipes for Reddit.com are working again.

Reddit Feed Redirector will make the links in a reddit RSS feed go to the comments page instead of the item linked.

Social Site Submission Watchdog keeps track of when your site is added to Digg/Reddit.

[TUMBLR] Regular Post Digest of the Last X Days

Build a list of the last X regular posts from your Tumblr account in the past Y days.

Useful for doing weekly digest posts with Yahoo Pipe Cleaner.

Based off of a pipe by romzombie.

[PIPES] Filtered Technorati Recent Mentions

My Filtered Technorati Recent Mentions pipe works again. It can give you an RSS feed of the latest blogs that links to your blog.

[YAHOO PIPES] Yahoo Pipe Cleaner v1.1

Yahoo Pipes changed their website on me and I've fixed Yahoo Pipe Cleaner so that it works with the new site. Now it also removes image thumbnails that were popping up.

It might not run on all Yahoo Pipes because some pipes now have custom URLs -- let me know if you are having any problems using it and which pipe you're having problems with.

[WORDPRESS] Extract Comments or Trackbacks only from the Comments Feed

I've created two Yahoo Pipes for building filters of the comments feed on your WordPress blog so that you can see comments only or trackbacks only.

• WordPress Comment Extractor
• WordPress Trackback Extractor

Comments Only Example

• Comment on What I’m Playing: PC, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 by J. D. Harper
  • I just finished playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the Wii recently. Best shooter ever. It's a lot more fun to point a stick at the screen and shoot than it is to use a joystick. I've heard good things about Puzzle Quest; I might have to pick that up. Game that I want to own right now:…
• Comment on What I’m Playing: PC, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 by Cat
  • Phew, a big gaming post. Thief 3 is an excellent game, I loved the missions int hat even though the difficulty curve was rather steep in it. I've just downloaded Puzzle Quest on XBLA, as I don't play on my DS too much to warrant the extra money spent on that. Lego Star Wars is one of my…
• Comment on What I’m Playing: PC, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 by dlowe
  • Please, please don't convince me to pick up a Nintendo DS. Damn, too late.
• Comment on What I’m Playing: PC, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 by bs angel
  • You have been busy with those games! I enjoy Brain Age as your other half does and also the new Super Mario Bros. Don't buy Tetris Splash. Not worth what they are charging for it. I just picked up Thrillville Off the Rails yesterday and it is just as fun as the first one. I played the first…
• Comment on Black and Blue and Read All Over Theme for WordPress Sandbox by engtech
  • @ LM : Just use Firebug ( http://getfirebug.com ) and inspect the footer meta info. There's a couple of classes there to play with.
• Comment on Black and Blue and Read All Over Theme for WordPress Sandbox by LM
  • How did you manage changing your footer meta info display in your Sandbox theme? I'd just have a look at the CSS, but can't find the download link. Thx.
• Comment on Greasemonkey Script: Akismet Auntie Spam for Wordpress by David Bradley
  • That *would* explain it. It would also explain why it doesn't seem to work as an IP blocker either. It would be nice if it could be fixed even with Auntie watching over me, it's still a pain to have to scroll through pages of comments spams (actually most days I don't, I just delete them…
• Comment on Greasemonkey Script: Akismet Auntie Spam for Wordpress by engtech
  • @ David Bradley : I've sent a bug about this before. My experience is that it only seems to catch keywords in the body of the text, not in the name, email, and url like they indicate in the configuration page.

Trackbacks Only Example

[RSS] Tagosphere

Tagosphere is an example I created for Jon Udell that builds an RSS feed around a specific tag using delicious, flickr, technorati, and wordpress.com.

[DELICIOUS] Delicious Link Builder

Build a list of links using your delicious account to bookmark them. Works great with my Yahoo Pipe Cleaner script.

Example:

• [BOOKMARKING] toread - an email-based bookmark service
  • Simple service to use to track stuff 'to read later'. They store the top 10 for each day. It's like having an archive of the delicious popular list.
• [COPYRIGHT] Creative Commons sued for deception
  • Another useless lawsuit. He licensed his photos as free for commercial use and now whines when it happens. That isn't a default setting.
• [HUMOR] Why I switched back from Rails to Assembler
  • follow up from the ruby to php article
• [JAVASCRIPT] Learning JavaScript resources
  • Good collection of tutorials and links about Javascript
• [JAVASCRIPT] The Elements of JavaScript Style
  • Everything you need to know about writing good javacsript.
• [LIFEHACKS] 6 Rules for Dealing With Habits vs. Tasks
  • Good ideas about how to build habits
• [RAILS] Rails Rumble: 92 Web Apps Created in 48 Hours
  • Winners from the 48 hours Rails Rumble
• [RUBY] Ferret - full text search engine
  • I'm wondering if this could be a replacement for intranet text search?
• [RUBY] The Little Book Of Ruby
  • 85 page guide to the ruby language syntax, free ebook
• [STARTUPS] Learn From an Adsense Millionaire: Notes on Markus Frind and PlentyofFish.com
  • Great collection of quotes from one of my startup heroes, Markus Frind.
• Delicious Links Builder by InternetDuctTape.com
  • This list was created using Delicious Links Builder

[RSS PIPE] Stupid Credit Builder

This is a clone of Stupid Feed Rewriter that backdates the entry to January 1st, 1970. Useful for adding a credit link at the end of a list.

[RSS PIPE] Stupid Feed Rewriter

Here's another weird one that I might be the only person interested in. It republishes a title/description/link whenever there is a new post in the original feed.

I have two twitter accounts at http://twitter.com/engtech and http://twitter.com/et

By using Stupid Feed Rewriter and http://twitterfeed.com I can post a message to my twitter/et account telling people about my twitter/engtech account at a regular interval.

The Stupid Feed Rewriter pipe will give me this RSS feed that I can republish into my twitter account using twitterfeed.com.

&feed_source=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fengtech
&new_desc=&new_link=http%3A%2F%2FInternetDuctTape.com&
new_title=This+twitter+account+is+for+links.+See+my+tweets+or+converse+with+me+%40engtech

You could also use it for things like posting a "Check out my blog!" message on your Tumblr / Jaiku accounts.

[RSS] Yahoo Pipe Cleaner

I've create a Greasemonkey script to make cutting-and-pasting from Yahoo Pipes into a WordPress blog look nicer.

[RSS] Recent Blog Mentions

I've created a new Yahoo Pipe that filters your Technorati recent mentions.

1. removes all the ones with low authority (most likely spam)
2. changes the title and link to go to the root of the domain name
• IE: if I linked to you from http://internetducttape.com/2007/08/12/hello-world it would show internetducttape.com

This is very useful as a "recent links" sidebar widget.

[RSS] Facebook Status Feed Filter

I've created a new Yahoo Pipe that that will take the RSS feed URL for your Facebook status, filter out your name, and add (from Facebook status) to the end. This makes it easy to repost your status in Twitter, Pownce, Tumblr, whatever.
