Unique new service: Scrapedfeeds is scraping the Unique news service of NU.NL/Telex

Last week ilse Media announced that they have a unique new service: a newsarticle service. 7 categories of news from different sources at 1 page
WEEEHOOOIEEE that’s unique.. <NOT> That is the same as newsisfree, loglezer and scrapedfeeds.com are doing for month’s if not years already.

Bummer .. that new unique service lacks RSS .. (I wonder how they retrieve the feeds)
Therefore: scrapedfeeds is scraping the unique Nu.nl Telex pages into RSS .. that’s what I call: unique …. ‘;-)

 

Python

Message to self (I saw the light), when wanting to have Phyton scripts to run with .py exentsion your webserver should know. So please add .py where .pl and .cgi are also. [httpd.conf]

scrapedfeeds.com news

A few reactions came after my descision to stop with scrapedfeeds.com
It was fun. I’ve moved the domain to another server to make sure that my home system is not affected with all those 404 errors ..
The server where scrapedfeeds.com is now running at is not suitable for using the system with myheadlines as engine. I need much more CPU and Memory I can see now when I see the statistics after removing scrapedfeeds.com

Also I am surprised to see how ‘automatic’ the retrieval of feeds goes. Like it is retrieved but never checked for existance anymore. Even when people use a simple RSS reader ..

Yup: when someone donates a machine: Scrapedfeeds.com will be up again without loss of any data … But that’s wishfull thinking ..

Paid for MovableType 3.0

I’ve registered Movabletype. It took some time due to some discounts I received but finally everything is ok.

With the donation discount and the ‘beta-tester’ discount the amount of money for MovableType was and is payable and reasonable (I paid almost nothing due to fact that the beta-tester discount should have been used at the end of all discounts but due to some failed transactions this went wrong.

The lovely Shelley kept her word and I am again/still a happy Movabletype user.

Now I am going to setup MT 3.0 at my private server and setup a number of domains at that server with MT 3.0 also AroundMyRoom.com will be transferred to that server. So a lot of things to do the forthcomming weeks.

Closing Scrapedfeeds.com for backend purposes

At this time Scrapedfeeds.com cannot maintain the service you requested. The system used for Scrapedfeeds.com cannot keep up with the data needed to send to the people using the service. Without any donations for a new system connected to the internet I have only one option: close down the whole service :-( Sorry for the inconvenience

As Ed was replying in a comment: ‘ nok er dan mee ‘ –> here we go .. I quit. It was fun
