A Life Stream

Version II of my life stream effort is acting now as my home page. The first version was using FriendFeed but in this version my server side code is directly requesting the feeds from google, twitter and delicious.

The earlier version used a jsonrpc library but I'm now using web.py to provide the services.

Compiling mod_python on OSX

Source distribution of mod_python (3.3.1) didn't compile on my iMac, but that from the repository did:

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk mod_python_src
cd mod_python_src
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-python=/usr/local/Python/Python-2.5.2/bin/python2.5
make
sudo make install

Note that I have built both apache2 and python2.5 from source on my system.
