As Terry said, it is a cold and wet day in Montreal, not at all enjoyable.
About 101 things to do today, pick the girlfriend up shortly, then run around and get a bunch of stuff done for her, and then run around and get a bunch of stuff done for me, then try to work some, and then head off for my final week of Tuesday Badminton. If everything goes according to the way of the universe and not plan, well, I should be done in about time to work at midnight or so. *sigh*.
I have been playing around with RSS feed collection and mixing techniques. I find that this is pretty much a legal mindfield of "non commercial use" and "add it to your blog" mentality that means a ton of time reading terms and conditions, and then trying to figure out what the fuck they really mean. Example, if my page does not charge admission but has some advertising on the page, it is commercial or sponosored non-commercial? Would that be different from a free hosted blog with a header? Can I use the material as long as I don't resell access? If I only quote headlines and provide a direct link to the original site, am I in violation or am I just being like a search engine?
RSS is in it's infancy, and I have a feeling someone is going to get lawyered somewhere along the line.
It is all good... except where it is bad.
