What is this place?

a warm gun is the personal web site of multimedia artist and resident geek Ian Adams, based out of Seattle, WA.

Where is everything?

The most recently posted stuff can be found on the front page. Older posts and articles are listed, by category and date, in the archives. There is also the Link Blog, which is my (almost) daily list of interesting links and brief commentary on AWG-related topics.

Additional areas on this site can be accessed by using the navigation links on the far left. (Or far bottom if you’re visiting this site using an alternative browser like Opera Mini.)

RSS Newsfeeds

What’s this about?

Well, for your convenience, this site is available as a syndicated RSS 2.0 Feed. If you’re unfamiliar with newsfeeds, they’re actually really simple. (Hence the term “Really Simple Syndication.”) Basically, this allows you to bookmark a web page that specifically exists to be notified of updates to this site. These bookmarks are collected in an application known as a “news aggregator”. Many are available, including Nick Bradbury’s FeedDemon for Windows or Ranchero Software’s NetNewsWire for Mac OS X. Most modern browsers have news aggregators built-in. For example, if you’re using Mac OS X you can use Safari to read all your RSS feeds right in your web browser. Firefox has RSS feeds built-in via what it calls Live Bookmarks. For more information on newsfeeds, I recommend reading Mezzoblue’s article, What is RSS/XML/Atom/Syndication?

Okay, so where are they?

There are currently two feeds available for your viewing pleasure. One is for the main content of a warm gun and the other is specific to the link blog. The links to these feeds are provided below.

How are they made?

The newsfeeds, like everything else on this site, used to be put together “by hand”, meaning no special tools were used beyond a simple text editor. For more information on how this was done, check out Danny Sullivan’s tutorial. However, the feeds are now generated automatically by WordPress.
