Mmm, I like the idea: everytime I post an article, automatically recording the context (news headlines, weather, and other gadgets). It’s completely useless, but can be perfectly automatic, so it’s no waste of time for me. I’d only have to read Yahoo’s French news page and get headlines, weather and even the stock index. It’s fortunate that I’m too lazy to look up information about extracting data from an HTML file, otherwise I’d get at it right away.

And how about a generous soul set up a public script for the community, receiving a city ID as input, and outputting as XML (or as urlencoded data, it’s simpler for everyone) all that stuff? All it’d take would be making a little crontab job to load the information every half hour and store it locally. And there it goes. No, don’t look at me this way, no can do.

Ok, I know it would be useless to everyone who didn’t hand-make their CMS. So what? Maybe we’re a minority, but we’re just as worthy as anyone else, and why whould we accept to be oppressed as a minority, huh, it’s unfair!

Well, alright, I’ll manage by myself, if I dont’ forget about it before.
