New Project
I want to change the planet scripts to pull ads out of feeds. Namely, Hackaday is popping google ads in the feed. I don’t know what the common view on this is but I personally find it kind of lame. I don’t know why, I just get a vibe.
I guess that raises the moral question of whether or not someone should alter syndicated content. I’d like to keep Hackaday in planet-rev but I don’t want to turn into his marketing tool. And I don’t know if this violates the rule that you can’t have no more than 3 adsense ads on a page. Do they mean in total or just mine?
What do you think?
Anywho, I’m going to do it. Sounds fun.
Shouldn’t be too hard with Regular Expressions. My first instinct would be Perl, but I get the impression that C# should be able to get the job done. Is there a C# library for processing RSS?
Unrelated note – right now there is an amazon.com ad that’s covering the right side of this text box. If I resize my Firefox window, the problem goes away.
I guess I need to put a disclaimer at the top that says: “This site best viewed at 1024×768 +”

Sounds like you need that Dell 2005FPW $334 delivered. You wouldn’t have these problems at 1680×1050. =)
