This blog now has an RSS newsfeed. If you use a news aggregator like Radio Userland or AmphetaDesk, you can include my blog in your list of channels. The feed is located at http://www.kalsey.com/rss.xml.

To do this, I wrote a small Perl script called RSSBlog that reads my blog’s HTML and creates an RSS feed for it. If you have a blog and would like to create an RSS feed for it, I’m making the script available for use by anyone. It’s released under the "Do whatever you want with it but don’t complain to me if somethign goes wrong" license.

Actually, if you do use it and have a problem or any suggestions, please let me know. I’d love to improve the script and make it more useful.
