That's the nice thing about being a geek - when I'm tired and/or bored I often don't just space out by watching a movie and consuming recreational drugs - no! I hack something that is a) not too complicated and b) not too useful - and consume recreational drugs... Yeah, I know, it's pathetic that that counts for fun these days, but hey: I'm not complaining!

Tonights fruits of this unglorious behaviour are, tadah! Quills atom feeds with comments.

I created a modified version of my validating version of Quills' atom template that recursively adds any comments of an entry to its <content> element. You can check it out here, if you are so inclined.

This also means, of course, that from now on, if you leave a comment to an entry, I'll be notified because the corresponding entry will show up as modified (at least in NetNewsWire). For you, in turn, it means, you'll be able to catch my response without clicking on the reload button like a woodpecker for hours (and sometimes days)... See? Everybody wins...

Either way, if you already are subscribed to this site (using the atom feed, right?) I urge you once more to change that subscription to the new feed with comments. I promise, I'll leave that one alone now... for a while... Afterall, Atom 1.0 has been introduced ;-)
