Some notes from the Director of Technology, September 2004

Yeah, so, it's been a while since I did one of these. Sorry about that.
Anyway, here are a few of the bigger features that have been added to
the Rhizome website recently:

1. RSS feeds
If you go to http://rhizome.org/syndicate, you'll see a list of RSS
feeds. We've had the Net Art News feed for a while now; they are now
joined by a Rare feed that you can use to preview published texts on
the site, and an Artworks feed that notifies you of new artworks on the
side. Feel free to use these feeds however you like. There are more on
the way, too!

2. Artwork announcing
Now when new artworks are added to the ArtBase, an email is sent
automatically to the mailing list, too, so you can keep abreast of
what's being added.

3. Some anti-spam tweaks
Some inquisitive users reported that a few crafty spambots were finding
out how to use the Raw list to send out spam, so I Googled a lot until
I found out a bizarro majordomo hack that prevents this from happening.
Anyway, it's stopped now, so thanks to my effort you should be getting
only 99 spam emails a day instead of 100.
