Occasionally tweaking the set of web feeds that we're using, but the site is pretty much ticking over by itself now.The software that runs this site is also being used to run a few other local planets...Dave Cross The software that runs this site is also being used to run a few other local planets (and some non-geographic planets). You can see the full list at The Planetarium. I gave a talk about this software at a conference in August. The slides are available online.
You might also be interested to know that we've set up a couple of other Balham-based sites. Balham Twits aggregates twitterers who we know live in (or near) Balham. And SW12.org is a small (but growing) social network for Balhamites. ]]>

Planet Balham.In particular, I'm very happy about the photo that I've added to the header (thanks to Bob for the original - an for making it available under a Creative Commons licence).
I've also added a couple more feeds. One of them is a search for all mentions of Balham on Twitter. I'm hoping that will bring some lively new content onto the site. Oh, and I think I've fixed a text-encoding bug that made some of the entries (particularly the weather forecast) look really ugly.
As always, I'm still interested in hearing about other feeds that you would like added. If you know of a web site that has some connection to Balham and which produces a web feed, then please let me know. ]]>
More Feedstag:blog.planetbalham.org.uk,2008://1.32008-09-29T13:52:41Z2008-09-29T13:56:29ZI was getting a little bored with the set of feeds that we were aggregating. Some of them had stopped publishing and the site was starting to look a bit stale.So I looked at this list of blogs near Balham....Dave Cross So I looked at this list of blogs near Balham. And I've added another half a dozen or so blogs to the site. There were far more of them listed, but many of them hadn't had a new entry for years.
So, enjoy the new feeds. And (as always) let me know if you know of any Balham-related web feeds that I can add to the site. ]]>
