Re: FeedSpool: I started writing something similar a few years back, that read RSS feeds and posted them to an nntp server, dynamically creating newsgroups (one for each feed) on demand. I intended to read my feeds with tin or slrn (I’d use thunderbird now) and call it a day. I didn’t get very far with it, though, because I couldn’t find an NNTP server package that I was happy with, and then something shinier came along. I think there is a lot of merit to this idea, though, and I’m going to be taking a look at FeedSpool.

slackorama: I’ve been playing that game with the large-size XBox controller, since I’m still in need of an S-type. Man… I’ve got a big oval bruise / permadent in my right thumb from charging up the jump button over and over again.

Oh man…don’t even talk to me about that blasted Hulk game. It’s been sucking up my time and destroying my thumb for over a week now.

Aristotle: Thanks for the note! That should be fixed now. (This is me, grumbling about mod_rewrite rules…)

Just a quick note that as of this writing, neither the feeds (ironic!) nor commenting works at hackingfeeds.com.
