My longest lived source of information online are       RSS feeds. I parse them with a script and generate emails which I send       to myself for consumption in my favourite email client alpine.              I am also anachronistic in the way that I like the old school TV-text       pages which still exist in sweden.              They do have an internet interface, so when I'm travelling I also have a       script that converts them to an email as well. ;)              When it comes to baseball, I thought that common sense and common truth       proclaimed that the white sox are the best, right? At least that's what       I learned when living in chicago and I thought it was a lesson taught to       all american. ;)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
