Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.


I perform most of my cognitive work on the web through Google reader (as opposed to e-mail.) I would like to request a filtered feed that indicates comments on activity I'm following, friend requests, and other things that would normally go into e-mail.

Edit:
Turns out there is one. For people who are interested, look at your profile, scroll to the bottom of your activity log, and the rss icon /there/ is of your log. A bit unwieldy, but it works.

Edit2: We need the APIs exposed. Let us build our own tools from the components of the site.

Edit3: As noted in the comments, I made a yahoo pipe. Here's a list of published pipes pointing at urgentEvoke.com http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/search? r=source:urgentevoke.com For a RSS howto see my blog post.

AFAIK, there's not much we can do about this as Ning is a hosted service and we can't really modify their code. All modifications that have been done on site are either cosmetic or AJAX loaded/iframed in.
Woah. ... ::sigh:: Mind you, much of what I'm asking for is cosmetic formatting. Basically little REST snippets that can deal with queries from tools without page scraping. (And if I could request that there not be an upper bound on the number of results returned from the friend feed, that would be /awesome/

I just found a bug with my RSS scraper since it can't deal with pagination all that well.
By cosmetic, the most I can do is modify the site's CSS. Yeah. :/
No upper bound on RSS feeds: can't do that either. Bah.

Requesting:

An extended leader board with # of blog posts, # of Videos, # of Pictures, Date joined, and a next button. If possible rendered from XML or JSON. I want to do some stats modelling.
Feature request: Allow us to filter out alchemy's points contributions on the Leaderboard. I would like to be able to see how I compete in a fair point tally.
Feature request: an area in threads that shows other threads that are either on same topic or visited by people who also commented on that thread. It is similar to Amazon's "people who bought this also bought this item" but I want a "people who discussed this also discussed this thread." I think it would help to tie information into a more cohesive thread throughout multiple users.
Feature request: I really would like the ability to burn some of my points to burn points of people who spam me. Obviously at a higher loss rate to myself. We need some real form of negative reinforcement.
Feature request: Communities of curation. The amount of link-spam i'm getting in my inbox is stupid /and/ encouraged officially. Either allow us to form communities of curation or make a "trending votes" page, where the number of votes+comments a post has is divided by unit time.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
