Turn an old blog into rss feed or emails
October 3, 2019 11:40 AM

I would like the reviews category posts from this blog to be delivered to me at slow intervals (preferably weekly or at the same intervals they were posted on the blog) via email or an rss feed. Is there a tool that can do this? Important: just subscribing now does me no good because the blog no longer updates and that wouldn't deliver old posts anyway.

There's only 24 articles listed under that-- so while I love to over-engineer a thing, you might be best to just drag/copy the links into whatever calendar app you have access to-- so it then reminds you each month/whenever to read the mentioned link.

To save you a bit of leg work, I ripped out the titles and links with a little bit of code, might save you a little time:

I would write a shell script with a loop in it; it would visit each of those links in turn and make a PDF of the page (in case they go away in the future) and then set up an `at` job to send an email with that PDF attached.

That kind of relies on having a Unix server you can rely on, though...
