Freshmeat Subscriptions Grabber/Spider

I've written a small python app that uses twill and ElementTree to allow you to download your freshmeat subscriptions listing in XML format.

So far it's on version 0.1, and it does only store your subscription's project's name and url.

I plan on using this script to allow my web site visitors to see what programs I find interesting and/or useful.

Freshmeat Project Page: http://freshmeat.net/projects/myfmsubs
myfmsubs site: http://www.buanzo.com.ar/lin/myfmsubs.html

Hope it's useful for someone ;)

Happy new year!
Buanzo

Copyright ingringement? Next Windows :P

A couple of days ago I was watching this video on www.Youtube.com. Today, I was going home when I noticed a big announcement poster on the side of the road that read "www.nextwindows.com.ar".

"SO WHAT" you might be wondering... well, the words "Next" and "Windows" together, along with Vista's release last week made me want to laugh out loud :P Don't ask me why. I'm probably in the need of some laughter. Those of you that know who steve jobs is might find this funny :P

By the way, I'll be offering a Secure eMail hosting solution that your company MIGHT find useful. Send me an eMail at buanzo **AT** buanzo.com.ar if you're interested.

Sincerely,
Buanzo.
