Gwynne Dyer is a curmudgeonly military historian journalist<\/a>. He’s 66, I think I read him when I was a kid in Montreal. You can’t read him there any more, Conrad Black owns much of Canada’s press and he doesn’t like Dyer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ve followed him for years<\/a>, but he’s remained resolutely stuck in the early 1990s. His web articles are “.txt”, not “.html”. Feeds are impossibly futuristic for Dyer, which is a problem since he publishes erratically.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I tried monitoring him with ChangeDetection<\/a> and Page2RSS<\/a> and Feedity<\/a>, but not Dappit<\/a>. They were all finicky, and nothing worked for long. I finally gave up last year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today, though, Dyer 2010<\/a> has a Google generated feed<\/a>: http:\/\/www.google.com\/notificationservice\/webchanges\/webfeeds\/3585261901611337376<\/span><\/div>\n

All you need to do to get a feed like this is to put a page URL into the Google Reader “Add a Subscription box”. If GR can’t find a feed, it creates one.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
It doesn’t show anything yet because I just created it. It won’t show anything until Dyer posts something. For now though I see quite a few 2009 and 2010 articles I can catch up on. I’ll use the “Note in Reader” function to comment on those I like, you can get a feed on my Google Reader items here: My Google Reader Shared items (feed)<\/a>.<\/span>
<\/span>
Update<\/b>: Oops. “note in reader” doesn’t work with .txt pages.<\/div>\n
