In this post I want to cover three things. First I want to introduce a little app I’ve developed which allows you to create a RSS feed for any of your Gmail labels (with the option to remove certain links – useful if you don’t want others unsubscribing you from mailing lists). Secondly I explain how it was made and how you can use it yourself. Finally I want to discuss how this could be used in an open course environment, utilising the vast processing power from services like Twitter and reusing there target marketing emails to your benefit with a bit of ‘dark social judo’.
"The other day I was looking around for an example of how to do digest authentication in Google Apps Script (or even plain javascript). I found plenty of theoretical discussions on it, but no actual examples. So here's an implementation walkthrough. ... What is Digest AuthenticationWorking with GAS, you'll probably be more familiar with oAuth2, which is supported well through the UrlFetchApp class.

Pre #io13 Apps Script community member Sergii Kauk has been digging around the Script Editor for new features. Here's what he's discovered so far: "Seems like #io13 will bring us a few cool features. There're DriveApp (with MimeType companion) and FormApp top-level objects already as well as something called BigNumber. In File menu you'll find "Upgrade authorization experience" command which turns authorization flows to OAuth 2. Finally, in doPost event object there's a new key called "postData" which I personally find one of the most interesting because it finally solves that nasty issue #2158 and makes GAS pretty handy for Glass development."

"I'm a big fan of Google Apps Script, but I'm really fed up of seeing "Execution time exceeded". Obviously data access times can be unpredictable, and although it can be improved through caching it's never going to be as good as a local Excel Workbook. But once you have the data loaded, how about processing speeds - shouldn't that be comparable ?"
