I've just been shown a rather neat utility called Feedburner
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home
It takes any RSS feed you care to name, and sends the results to your email address. Owned by Google, so I expect the code is pretty good. I haven't played with it yet, but I can see uses for this. For one thing, it's roughly what I've spent the last week or so on and off writing code to do :)

For the exact task I was after (feeding a forum to a Yahoo Group), I'll stick to my own code. But for people who want to follow an occasional forum, or LJ blog, down their own private email address, it looks great.

Been off with a migraine today - I tried hitting it with paracetamol and so on, but when breakfast failed to stay put it became clear that this was not going to be a quick shift, and despite intentions to go in to work once it had cleared, it never did. Still around, mildly: keeping my eyes focused for more than a minute or so hurts, so driving isn't an option.

But, late afternoon, I did manage to get back to the PC for more than a few minutes at a time, and got a few things done.

( geeky bit under here )

Now, if only the pain behind my right eye would go away... time for more paracetamol, methinks. And a long drink, and an early night.
