New features are live

Today Loic demoed Seesmic at DEMO 08 today and one of the main features that was shown was the new Thread feature. Basically on any thumbnail you will see a count that shows how many replies have been made to the thread that the thumbnail is a part of.
The amount of posting was crazy […]

change to the events bot

Johann requested I add to the events bot the ability to deliver RSS entries in the XMPP data payload, so I made some changes and added a new command.
The new command is “set” and right now it only has a single sub-command “payload”. Sending the command “set payload rss” will tell the bot that […]

RSS Feed changes

It turns out that some recent changes to the RSS feed made it no longer validate.
Looking at the validation errors I made some changes.

item <title> changed so it’s ascii encoded with all non-ascii items shown as xml charref’s
item <author> changed to <media:credit>
added <media:content> item for the video itself

API Changes - recent ones at least

Yesterday the Seesmic team rolled out the latest server side code, yea! But they set it up to be at app2.seesmic.com instead of app.seesmic.com
This broke the Jabber bot and both Kosso’s and Critter’s apps - all of which recovered quickly.
The good thing is that this did help with some of the load issues […]

They now include the <source /> element and within that you will find a <generator> and if the Seesmic post is a reply, […]

Atom/RSS feed outage

Earlier today the back-end server that lets the various parts of the Seesmic infrastructure was down and as a result the service that updates the Atom and RSS feeds did not receive any updates.
I need to figure out a way to back-fill the database that drives the feed generation in case this happens again.

Atom and RSS feeds

Just got done with some final testing on the code that generates the Atom and RSS feeds for the Seesmic Public Timeline. wooo!
Both of them include enclosure items that point to the FLV video and as much meta-data as I could stuff into them - more will be added as new items are added […]
