The Feeds are Back

I have resurrected the Mainichi Shinbun news feed and returned it to its rightful place in the right-hand column. I disabled it a while ago when the script generated errors, but did not bother looking into it until now. Apparently the "Evil Empire" has assimilated at least the Enlgish part of the site into its collective MSN juggernaut.

I also added a feed from the Globe and Mail business section. Globeinvestor is one of my favourite sites and when I originally added RSS news feeds (approximately one year ago), it did not offer any. There are none directly from globeinvestor so the Globe and Mail business feed is the closest alternative.

In case you are wondering how the setup is arranged, I have the unix crontab facility pull the xml files to a local directory every half hour using wget. From there a php rss parser function (that I found online) generates the html links for the article headlines.
