Microblogging clients

My Twitter activity has really picked up in the last couple of months. I’d love to have something more integrated with my desktop but so far the best Twitter client I’ve found is the Twitter website.

I sponsored the original inclusion of corebird into Debian’s package repsoitories. This is a great native client and Phillip Rinn does a great job maintaining it (I gave him Debian Maintainer privileges now to do uploads without my picking apart every upload). He’s also added a backport of the latest version so it can be installed on the current Debian stable release. My problem with corebird however is that it doesn’t support “free” networks.

Breaking RSS Change in Hugo

My website and blog are managed by the static site generator Hugo. I’ve found this to be a stable and flexible system, but at the last upgrade a breaking change has occurred that broken the syndication of my blog on various planets.

At first I thought perhaps with my increased posting rate the planets were truncating my posts but this was not the case. The problem was in Hugo pull request #3129 where for some reason they have changed the RSS feed to contain only a “lead” instead of the full article.

Tor Metrics Team Meeting in Berlin

We had a meeting of the Metrics Team in Berlin yesterday to organise a roadmap for the next 12 months. This roadmap isn’t yet finalised as it will now be taken to the main Tor developers meeting in Montreal where perhaps there are things we thought were needed but aren’t, or things that we had forgotten. Still we have a pretty good draft and we were all quite happy with it.
