I know many people find the whole Mars exploration thing interesting, but I'm afraid I really don't. Not sure why, though, as I've watched a few hundred episodes of Star Trek over the years, and generally found space to be somewhat interesting. I think I memorized the order of the planets in our solar system in third grade, but I guess I never got so interested later to get all geeky about it. I don't own a telescope, and although I've been to several planetariums, I don't recall ever visiting an observatory (I guess the outside of one whilst geocaching doesn't really count, does it?). I hope the whole Spirit Rover thingy goes well (doesn't tip over or something stupid - I can just see it spinning it's wheels in the air like a capsized turtle), but I honestly don't think we're going to find a whole lot.

Well, since Feedster turned out to lack frequent updates for my RSS 2.0 feed, I've decided to bite the bullet and maintain my own XML file for the purpose. I originally thought I'd found the perfect tool in RFE (RSS Feed Editor), but it turned out to be a little quirky and unreliable (depending upon content, it will eventually mangle the code, forcing you to start over). Thus, I kept searching.
Then I found the WebDevTips RSS Updater, which is even easier, and since it's a web tool, I can access it from anywhere (the other one was a standalone program). Of course, it only produces 0.91 RSS output, but hey, what's the difference anyway, right?!
All of this, of course, is only until the free version of Blogger starts offering built-in RSS support (which it is going to do, apparently [Blogger Pro already offers it]).
