Hej hej,

> Antenna works differently. It doesn't remember feed URLs. It doesn't
intermittently poll feeds. Instead it relies on publishers willingness
to add an extra step to their publishing process: when your
Atom/RSS/gemsub feed has been updated, make a gemini call to
gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/submit with the URL to your feed as the
query string. I do it by using my gemcall:
gemcall -u gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/submit?warmedal.se/~bjorn/atom.xml

"It turns the problem around". Impressive.

I probably should train the habit of this turning around evenmore.

Sometimes, when we ($dayjob) are on a bug hunt, I say "But whatif this phenomenon should be a feature? What if I wanted to haveit like that? Where in the code would you implement it?" Oftenthis leads us closer to the source of the problem.

It's probably just a psycological trick, but as long as it helps ...
