Centralised RSS Reading

by admin 20. July 2004 00:29

OK. I'm finding it a pain to read blogs because I sometimes read at home, and sometimes at work. What I really want is some centralised RSS server which tracks which items I've read so I don't reread them. I found http://era.indecorous.com but I don't want my RSS items coming to my email box (blogs.msdn.com would kind of overwhelm me...) So I think I'm going to write one myself. Additionally I want a Pocket PC client so I can move my blog reading away from productive desktop PC time into less productive times like bus rides (they're only less productive, not totally unproductive since this is still the best time to really listen to my multitude of Jazz CDs)

Anyway, before I started this I thought I'd throw it out in the wild so hopefully somebody will point me at an existing solution (though admittedly this would remove the pleasure of developing it myself, but I've plenty of other projects... can anybody say Rikxtensible C#?) Unfortunately I believe I've already spoken about this to both of the technical readers of my blog (sorry Rod I'm assuming that you won't be able to help here) so I won't receive any feedback I haven't already got. But then again, perhaps I'm lucky enough to have a wider audience than I think...

RikMigrations

RikMigrations is a database migration library for .NET based on the migrations facility provided by Ruby on Rails. It allows simple upgrading and downgrading of databases using .NET code (such as VB or C#) either from the command line or built into your application. Unlike many other migration frameworks, RikMigrations is a stand-alone library which does not rely on a large surrounding framework.
