terriko

I'm liking the short summary + link think I'm doing here so you all have some idea of what I'm posting elsewhere. But it occurs to me maybe I should ask if I'm the only one who likes this format. And damned_colonial was kind enough to give me a subscription for a while, so I can do polls now! How awesome is that? Voice your pleasure or displeasure here.

Getting yourself put on a blogroll, planet, or other blog aggregation site and don't want every post to show up in the group? Want to make an RSS feed that only outputs your technical posts, or only outputs your posts about writing, or, in my case, only my posts related to GHC09?

I did a quick search and didn't find the answer to this question for dreamwidth, so here it is. (There may be a page for it elsewhere, but I didn't find it, so apparently I use different terminology or something. This page is for people who use keywords like my own.)

Thankfully it's easy. You take this simple link and just fill in your own username and the tag you want to use where I've got those words in caps:

http://USERNAME.dreamwidth.org/data/rss?tag=TAG

Or if you prefer atom to rss (I can never recall the differences myself) you can use

http://USERNAME.dreamwidth.org/data/atom?tag=TAG

So for my journal, if I want a list of just the GHC09 related posts, I can use this:

http://terriko.dreamwidth.org/data/rss?tag=ghc09

I figured this out by clicking on the the tag, then clicking on the RSS feed button in firefox (it's beside the star in the address bar. Or the "awesome bar" depending on your knowledge of in firefox browser buzzwords.)

Now you know!

Posting about my new gig blogging for the Geek Feminism blog reminded me that it's been a while since I let people know some of the other places to find me, so for the record, here's some places I update regularly:

• There's my personal web page and my academic web page, which are mostly updated with new publications, presentations, and photos.
  
• I write for the Geek Feminism blog.
  
• I write for the CU-WISE blog, run by my local Women in Science and Engineering group, which is full of cool young women. We do a lot of social/academic activities at the university, as well as outreach such going to talk to Girls@VV and, yesterday, the IBM EXITE camp.
  
• I have another personal/research blog over at WebInsecurity.net although I admit, it hasn't seen much use lately because I've been taking all that writing and putting it directly to the thesis.
  
• I'm terriko on twitter
  
• There's always my flickr stream -- I only post a few photos here, but I upload stuff constantly.
  
• And I'm also terriko at LibraryThing. Which reminds me that I should really review this fantastic little book I read on the weekend called Princess Ben...
  

So there you go, more Terri links than anyone really needs all in one handy post. :)
