.@hadleywickham. I long held the view that most "data schmience" (ie it's NOT "science") really is "data plumbing" (ie engineering).

.@jaredlander Pure envy. In a parallel universe I'd work on R/Go and call it "argot". Would have to learn some real Go first though :)

.@CleverClogs Me too -- I have another blog/feed using same engine without issues. Could well be me / blosxom, but suspect it is them.
.@CleverClogs @feedly I consider CRANberries to be valid and complete.
.@CleverClogs @feedly Yes I mentioned that the blosxom generator is stale. That does not stop other services from digesting it.
Go home, @feedly, you're drunk! A rant about the truncated @CRANberriesFeed -- goo.gl/egePF #rstats
