We were discussing Situationism in the pub the other night... Well, in point of fact, it began with a requirement for hacked Cyberdog t-shirts to do speech-to-scrolling-text to save howling in someone's ear in a noisy club, and we sort of wandered off at a tangent.
It's supposed to be looked at in a news-ticker application.
It looks like you can program it over IR, which seems to be a bit of a security hole to me, as your message could be changed by anyone with a Palm or similar...
Well, it's kind of retro. it's not _wrong_, seeing as how you're using RSS1.0 which is the RDF-based flavour. However it's more important to highlight the RSS nature of things than the RDF nature of things (RDF is just plumbing, albeit more high-level plumbing than XML). This content-type confuses the hell out of all the obviosu Firefox-hosted RSS tools I pointed at it.
These days most people are switching to Atom (although probably not in The Big Shed).
Today I wrote this: http://www.gamesradar.com/rss/ps2/
Tomorrow I shall try and sort out the encoding bugs, and why the fecking Great Architect decided to write his own XML serializer (which runs like a 3 legged whippet and doesn't handle encodings properly)
Data Set (http://mfx.dasburo.com/art/truisms.html).
Actually, I'm just installing Ruby, as I'm keen to have a play with Ruby on Rails, and I reckon that this could be a hideously over-engineered demo system. :-)
Whatever gets the code out of your fingers, I think.
The ugly perl + XML::RSS (No Winering here) is the sort of thing I need to prod myself into doing more of - I tend to stare at simple problems a little too hard since I can't quite work out how to do what I want. Where in fact if I just get on and bosh it out, it turns out I did know what wanted doing all along.

Don't mind me, I'm having a think with my hands.
