Following up on yesterday's post about the Hacker News firehose feed.

Ronnie tweaked up his server and it's working again, and my app is polling his and updating the feed, above, once a minute. 

When you read that feed you're not hitting a Ycombinator site, it's hosted in my space (on S3).  

Turns out there are a lot of submissions, but that's why it's called a firehose.
