Since January, 2003
            
 Sliding from Before to After

A nice post by a Computer World blogger makes mention of my use of the DC government's RSS feeds for Near Southeast crime reports, permits, service requests, and other items. If you mostly read the site by RSS, or don't scroll down the home page very often, you might be missing these nuggets (and the archives that go back to 2006 or even earlier). Alas, right now both the public space permits and building permits feeds are on hiatus, depriving me of my morning adrenaline rush to see if anything new has come through the pipeline, but I keep being assured they'll be back online soon. In the meantime, don't forget to check the data out every so often.

I've looked at trying add some feeds I'm interested in to my Google Reader but I don't know how to restrict it to my neighborhood, the way you do. Any tips on that, JD?

Yes, go to computer programming school and spend many hours writing a grabber and parser that cycles through the huge RSS files, culls out just the ones you're interested in, throws them into a database, and then pulls them out to display.

:-)
