Through the Website of R-win I read the Linkdump and found: AWASU
the RSS reader of my choice. I think it server my needs: a perfect first display of the RSS entries. Than choosing the link and see the webpage in the screen. AWASU!

:: R-win & Joris ::

AC is building slowly an infrastructure for euro.weblogs.com
I could see it happen when I saw more and more weblogs ping the server …

RSS search engine .. WAAAHHHH !!!

It’s great to see that RSS has some attendance within some digital magazine(s) and articles right now ..

This month: ‘About:Blank’

Punkey is testing .. he can send and receive :-)

Building a Desktop News Aggregator

[quote:]
I had the following functional requirements for my news aggregator

# The news aggregator must be able to process the three most popular versions of RSS (versions 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0).
# The news aggregator must use a three-paned user interface similar to Microsoft Outlook® Express for displaying RSS feeds.
# The news aggregator must use an embedded Web browser to allow viewing rich content and navigation to Web pages linked to from RSS items.

testing shortly some new .NET feedreaders

* RSS Bandit
&
* NewsDesk
Both have still bugs (but I’m used to those things) :-)

Newsdesk is looking okay, but I’m not sure if it can serve my needs: hey I do not even know what I exactly want :-)

More and more ‘local dutch news magazines’ make their news publich through RSS.

Reading r-win’s weblog I submitted my request to receive the Webwereld RSS feed Altough I scrape the site myself it’s always nice to have the official RSS feed.

But I agree with Erwin: why do I have to make a request by e-mail to receive the feed?

made a snapshot of the apache-log to rss

I’ve no knowledge of PERL, but with some help of Matthijs I was able to create a script what seems to work

Problems

* output is html or text, but not a ‘xml-rss’ file
* the script does not work each time. (really strange); sometimes it’s only showing a blank screen
* I’ve no idea if the RSS output is valid for RSS 2.0 or 1.0 / 0.92 ..

Maybe someone thinks this is an interesting project?
I see kewl log opportunities.

Anyone an idea why this PERL script does not work at a Cobalt?
I get: malformed header from script. Bad header=BEGIN failed–compilation abor: /usr/cgiwrap/cgiwrap

No Idea what is going wrong.

Thomas is helping, but cannot give a solution yet .. it’s working at his site ..
