Atom feeds and flowers

I've been feeling a little odd the past two days: it's been very stormy, and I've had a headache for more than 36 hours now. Perhaps the two are related, and the atmospheric pressure is causing my headache. idk.

Regardless, I've tried to go on with my day as usual: I had a meeting with my fellow scouts leaders, did some calisthenics in the park with a friend of mine and played some chess and go. Also, I've made some final touches to my capsule, which I'll describe below.

My profile on OGS, feel free to challenge me :)

Atom

I spent some time setting up the final details for my capsule: my public key is now listed, and I've added an atom feed for people who like using those. My gemlog also complies with the "Subscribing to Gemini pages" companion spec.

My atom feed

The companion spec

I decided to roll a little script for it myself. It is far from beautiful, but it is simple and does the job.

The script

I set up my server to serve the feed with a mimetype of application/atom+xml, but for some reason Lagrange kept telling me it could not parse it. Turns out I was forgetting the XML prolog, and Lagrange refuses to parse feeds without a prolog. Took me some time to figure it out, but everything is fixed now.

Also: flowers

A bunch of flowers sprung up sometime in the past week. Four species are pictured below, but I thought I also saw some dandelions at some point. Photography is not my forte, but I did my best!

Oxeye daisy

Daffodils

Irises

Not sure what these are, but they're flowers too
