A programming challenge for myself

I worked on uRSSus for a cou­ple of hours again, and it's work­ing pret­ty nice­ly.

  • Re­al­­ly us­es the ORM

  • Mul­ti­pro­cess­ing for a non-block­­ing UI (python-pro­cess­ing is awe­­some)

  • Adapts to the quirks of some feeds (why on earth would some­one do a feed with­­out dates? It's AOL Fan­­House­­!)

I in­tend to keep work­ing like this for a cou­ple of week­s, and see how far I can get in fea­ture par­i­ty to akre­ga­tor.

No, I don't ex­pect to reach fea­ture par­i­ty, I on­ly want to strive for it. SInce I lack the fo­cu­sand/or en­er­gy for a mul­ti year com­mit­ment it re­quires to write the av­er­age free soft­ware, I want to see how far a sprint gets me.

So far, it's fun.
