Gambas

Apparently Gambas has hit RC 1.0 release status. Ive been looking over it and Im very impressed. This looks like it could be a very interesting RAD tool for Linux.

I like the fact that I can write full blow KDE GUI apps in it without having to do the 100000 lines stuff for handling widgets..

hmm.. a fruther investigation is required.

Getting Mozilla Firefox to recognise your RSS feed.

I had never quite worked out why Mozilla Firefox would not pick up my RSS feed as it would other sites.

Some sites I would visit would activate the Active Bookmarks (RSS) feature and put a nice little RSS subscribe tag in the status bar… But never for my site…

So after a little fiddling around.. The code you need to add to your site is…

<link REL="alternate" TITLE="Life in Mega-Tokyo" HREF="http://mega-tokyo.com/blog/index.xml" TYPE="application/rss+xml" />

TITLE being the name of my weblog
HREF points to my RSS feed
TYPE tells the browser this is the RSS feed content.

The above tag goes into your index.php/.html or similar, and it must be within the HEAD tag at the top of the page…

I put mine just before I have the </head>

Now I get the snazzy little RSS button in the status bar showing up.
