Freshmeat ignore lists

8 Nov 2003

For years now my daily hobby is to nurture my ignore list on freshmeat, its an obsession, each morning I check the days page (and what i missed on the last day) and I ignore things that do not interest me. The things that do interest me gets a visit to the home page and I check it out, if its something I do not like it gets ignored.

Scoop has been making my work easier with the addition of buttons on the front page for quick ignore. Today I asked him to enable a bulk unignore on the list of the days ignored projects and he turned it around in less than 30 minutes, amasing. So I asked him about ignore lists, mine being 11 986 projects big at the moment, turns out I am 10th largest and the largest is about 40% larger than mine!

Maybe I should remove the category ignores on things like Python and start ignoring those individually :)
