Tired - I've been mostly posting on Twitter the past few days. I've developped a raspy cough which is really bad at night time but mostly fine during the day. That's a bit strange. I'm not sleeping particularly well because of it, and so I'm feeling very tired. All the men at food places I go to have started bowing their head to me, which is odd. Multiple places, started the exact same time. All the woman are constantly calling me dog, and coughing all over my food clearly on purpose.

Both seem to be doing the thing where they hold the plastic bag so you slide you hand into the handles. I don't particularly care for that way of handing over food. It had this trap sort of vibe to it, so I always take the food with two hands. Anyway that really annoys some folks, particilarly the women.

Anyhow no matter what I do there is retaliation. Eventually everything escallates to some form of mutilation to me. #

RSS feeds - On the plus side I've almost got the RSS feeds rendering using the same server side components I use on the website. It will mean per item feeds for each of the blog, linkblog, podcast, newsletter and notes. I'll also hsve a summary feed for the linkblog and notes sibce these have a more frequent cadence.

I think I've also managed to create an everything feed. I used a feature where I can associate custom metadata to data imports. The RSSFeed component can use that data to select the right server side component at render time. It appears to work.

There will likely be issues to figure out though. Even if I an feeling drained, the development progress is keeping me somewhat positive. #
