At some point last night I finished the first draft of Building the Realtime User Experience. I sent it to my editor this morning. Now, assuming he doesn’t just point and laugh and send it to the special filing bin, it goes to technical reviewers who can point and laugh.
I’m glad to have made it to this milestone, excited about the impending release and totally nervous about the process of getting from here to the bookshelves.
So for the first time in a long time, I won’t be spending tonight writing or even working on code for the book. I don’t know what I’m going to be doing, but it won’t be in a coffee shop with headphones on.
Tumblr API dashboard call?
When did this appear?
I can’t actually get it to return any data, but it seems to exist in some form. Anyone have any info on this?
Tumblr to Google Reader
Have you ever wanted to take all of the feeds that you follow on tumblr and import them into google reader? No? OK. Nevermind then.
In the future, if you ever reconsider and want to do that, feel free to use a script that I wrote to do just that very thing. It’s available on github as a python script. I’m still not comfortable accepting your passwords on a web service, so you’ll have to run it yourself. Perhaps someone else will set it up as a webservice for all to use (hint hint).
Head over and download “tumblr-tools” from github.
