For what it's worth: This Dodge auto show news archive page is an AJAX-powered, OPML-driven branded RSS feed grazer. There's one for both Chrysler and Jeep, too. This is how I spent my Chrismas vacation. What you don't see is the behind-firewall private intranet application used by an editorial team to aggregate and republish news items in the listed feeds.

Alas, the above reading lists don't work with Grazr. Curse these relative URLs - they sure made development on testing and QA servers easier, though.

Something's broken in my NewsRiver. I'm not sure what yet, because I haven't had time to dig through and figure it out. Scheduled feed scans don't work, or perhaps don't finish. Something bombs out or hangs in the middle. Lately, I've been kicking it over by hand, and sometimes that takes a few tries to get it through my whole list. I think I saw a feed list order shuffler in the code somewhere, which might account for the random behavior - maybe there's a certain feed in there that wedges things? But, there've been no error messages that I've seen. Mighty frustrating. Hopefully I'll get the chance to see what's what.

Hey, look: It's Wednesday. Is it weird that one of the thing I look forward to most these days is that Wednesday means bagels in the kitchen at work? (I need a vacation.)
