I have looked at quite a few RSS aggregators and most of them have more features than you can shake a stick at.
At the moment I am using Amphetadesk, but I am looking for something really simple, that just
- runs on a server, so I can read my feeds from anywhere
- keeps a list of all the feeds I read
- checks the feeds regularly, while being net-friendly (conditional GET, etc.)
- shows me a list of all the recent entries that I haven’t seen before. Just a link and a title
Because even though I use an aggregator, I still visit every article and just use Amphetadesk as a glorified bookmark manager.
Does such a beast already exist?

This is what I have been hacking on lately:
A new client for MovableType, written in Python using the wxPython library (which explains the atrocious spelling of the name).
It’s far from finished, but it can already post to a blog. But before I publish it, I want to get the preview functionality going and give it all the functionality of the “Post to MT Weblog” bookmarklet (allowing comments, allowing trackbacks, text formatting).

So I read about Trepia today, and it sounded pretty interesting. So I actually booted my dusty Windows partition, downloaded the installer, installed the thing and tried to register.
That is where I hit a major road block. The stupid thing just stalls, showing a frozen progress bar and the words “Registering”.
But maybe I can still find people in my neighborhood this way, by listening for screams of frustration…

I just found this gem.
This seriously rocks. Now I only need to remember one flavour of RegExp.

Commuting to work this morning, I realized something while watching the bustling outside:
Crazy is the new sane
I mean, it feels like almost everyone out there has gone apeshit, and no one really cares.

Yes, I am still alive.
I was just struck with a nasty cold, which sucked all blogging energy out of me. And now I once again have an empty frontpage.
Major Suckage

If you have to look for it on the internet, you’re in deep trouble.

How am I ever gonna make it big on Blogshares if this blog keeps shriveling up to one measly entry on the front page?
Dammit, I need action, adventure, excitement. With lots of photo opportunities, if possible.
Maybe I should become a pirate. Blogging the Seven Seas, taking from the rich and converting it all to rum, or something like that…
This rant…needs more coffee!
