Updates to aggregator

Quick and dirty aggregator gets minor updates.

Few very simple changes to News Aggregator. Modified subscriptions list according to Technorati and availability of sites. Eliot Landrum also started using this code and alerted me to some issues and enhancements. I liked Eliot’s template quite a bit - especially, the break at dates.

Changelog from CVS is below:

  1. FWIW, You've got my link in your aggregator wrong by one character :). It's http://toulouse.amber.org/

  2. Thanks! That explains it. I was getting to think that Jeff's new host is always down :-)

  3. Thanks for the compliment. :)

    I'm already addicted to pyblagg! I just added a new blog to output to the pyblagg configuration. With that I can add new RDFs just by popping up a "Post New Entry" and plop in the URL. Next time the cron script runs pyblagg, it gets the new URLs. Thanks so much for the quick emails and enhancements.. I love it.

  4. Great little script! I've been testing it using the RSS feeds from http://lowlife.jp/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/PythonProgrammersWeblog (except Kevin Altis whose feed is too broken :) and the results are here: http://mechanicalcat.net/pyblagg.html

    Your aggregation includes truncation of the items, which I had to work into the downloadable version. Not sure if you're aware of that.

    I've started noticing how... organic RSS can really be ;)

  5. Is Kevin's feed too broken for Mark's ultraliberal parser?

    EffNews parser is only moderately liberal, and has no problem reading that feed. Intriguing...

  6. Ah, no, it's pyblagg getting confused by his channel description (which contains HTML) by trying to shove it into a title= attribute on a hyperlink. Kevin's feed is fine.
