I was subscribed to too many podcasts, my old podcatcher was downloading far more than I'd listen to.
So when I started the project to write a new podcatcher, I decided to start with a clean slate, and go for a minimalist set, the ones I really listen to, and add slowly, and make it very easy to remove or suspend a feed.
And as I announced on Tuesday, my podcatcher has a Twitter account, if you're interested in background programming while you twit the day away.

And yesterday I took another item off the to-do list, and came up with a public web page that shows my podcatcher's discoveries in reverse-chronologic order.

This will develop of course, what you're seeing is totally pre-alpha, not even 1.0.

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
