Push Syndication
About a year and a half ago I was posting entries regularly to my advogato.org account. Then I met a bunch of people who used Livejournal so I began using that for my weblogging. I always had a plan to sync entries between the two, but it never happened, partly because I never got around to it and partly because what I want to post to those two sites are quite different.

Now I run weblog software on my own host so I wrote a script to syndicate entries from my MovableType weblog to the other two. Luckilly everything in the world (that I care about anyway) speaks fluent XMLRPC. The initial version of this script was just half a dozen lines long, but as I've added code to rewrite entries to match the style of advogato.org for example, it has grown.

Take a peek if you'd like. You'll want to make a aggy_config.py with the following set: MT_URL MT_USER MT_PASSWORD MT_BLOGID ADVOGATO_USER ADVOGATO_PASSWORD LJ_USER LJ_PASSWORD.
Note: MT_URL is the url of your mt-xmlrpc.cgi
