Feed on Feeds version 0.1.6 is available. Yay!

(Oh. What is it? It’s an RSS feed aggregator that lives on your webserver so you can access and keep track of your feed reads from anywhere, instead of being tied to a desktop-side aggregator that you can only check from a specific computer.)

It’s software designed to automatically grab RSS feeds so you can easily keep track of what’s been updated on each of the couple dozen or so journals, blogs, thingies and news sites you try to visit regularly. Without having to actually, you know, visit them… unless they have new entries that interest you, which you’ll learn about because your aggregator software will have pulled the RSS feed for you.)

(Oh. I’m oversimplifying this, or not using the most precise jargon? Then you already know everything about this stuff, so why have you been reading this far? Sheesh.)

(Oh.)
