If first rule of media is 'give the people what they want', then the second rule must be 'and nothing more'.

The tagline of this site is "Taking Control of your own technology", and as regular readers will know, I interpret that pretty widely, from free/open source software, freely shareable music, programming and so on.

However, I have also in the past had the occasional holiday photo, or some other off-topic post.

A lot of planets (aggregations of site updates) have a distinction between 'planet' and 'universe', the former is core on-topic posts, the latter includes the core but also content which is out-there in space. This is quite a useful concept as it gives the reader the choice over what they are subscribing to in their RSS readers.

Therefore, I have done a little recoding of this site to firm things up a bit.

I have added some new RSS feeds to my list of feeds. The way it works is that if you just want the core posts about technology, then do nothing differently, just use the standard feed. This includes Linux, command line, Python and the normal categories.

However, if you want to live on the edge, and risk some new categories, then you can use the uncut feed, this is like the Director's cut in the movies, it will have extra content and will be without the self-censorship. This may include information about my life, computing in the humanities, discussion of other disciplines apart from computing, and so on.

So hopefully my list of feeds contains every option that anyone would want.
