Thought I would get cute and run my RSS feeds for my Instapaper and
Pinboard accounts through this. However, got the following in Terminal
when I tried to run Slogger.

With Pinboard RSS:

/Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:49:in
`log_rss': undefined method`pubDate\' for \# (NoMethodError)\
from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in `each'`\
`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in`log_rss\'\
from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in `each'`\
`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in`log_rss\'\
from slogger:52

With Instapaper RSS:

/Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:52:in
`log_rss': undefined method`match\' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)\
from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in `each'`\
`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in`log_rss\'\
from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in `each'`\
`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in`log_rss\'\
from slogger:52

I know the RSS links were valid as I added them to my Google Reeder
account and they worked fine there.

Yeah, I set it up to look for a content.encoded field without adding an
error check. Fixed in the next version, but if you look for the line (in
rsslogger.rb):

     image_match = item.content_encoded.match(/src="(http:.*?\.(jpg|png)(\?.*?)?)"/i)

And change \"content_encoded\" to \"description\", should clear up the
problem.

Change \"content_encoded\" (item.content_encoded.match) in line 52 of
rsslogger.rb to \"description\" (item.description.match), as directed.

Getting closer\...

When I try and import the Instapaper RSS, I can get one link in and see
the following in Terminal:

target="_blank"}

Can\'t get anything when using the Pinboard RSS. Get the following in
Terminal:

/Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:49:in
`log_rss': undefined method`pubDate\' for \# (NoMethodError)\
from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in `each'`\
`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in`log_rss\'\

`from /Users/ronn/Documents/Slogger/lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in`log_rss\'\
from slogger:52

When I run the two RSS feeds together, I get these combined:

Okay\...

Here is my fix for this for now\...

I took the Instapaper and Pinboard feeds and ran them through Tweetfeed
and then to a Twitter account that I set up so that I could send my
RunKeeper stats to it (as RunKeeper doesn\'t have a way to RSS your
stats). To each of the feeds, I added the suffix, Instapaper or
Pinboard, respectively, so that I could have that as a search term.
