RSS Ripper

May 24, 2007

I wrote a simple RSS feed parser. It takes an RSS feed such as the one from Digg.com and parses through it making improvements. It then writes out a new file and lets you upload it to your FTP server for republishing. With Digg.com's RSS feed you always have to visit Digg.com to get the URL for the actual content you want.

I've written a little something in Python to help shrink extra fluff from your Mac OS X Universal binaries. Enjoy.

Book Recommendation:

C++: The Complete Reference covers everything from keywords, syntax, and libraries, to advanced features such as overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, namespaces, templates, and run-time type identification, plus there's a complete description of the Standard Template Library (STL).

Seriously, if you're getting a C++ book you are planning on actually using, you really should get this book.

Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.
