<a href='http://www.whitelabel.org/archives/002248.html'> This guy</a> wrote a <a href='http://www.whitelabel.org/wp/wikiproxy.php'><acronym title='British Broadcasting Corporation'>BBC</acronym> News scraper</a> that links with key phrases on <a href='http://wikipedia.org/'>Wikipedia</a> and tracks references in the blogosphere (that term really rubs me the wrong way) via <a href='http://technorati.com/'>Technorati</a>.

My <a href='http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/'>RubyGems</a> <acronym title='Graphical User Interface'>GUI</acronym> is coming along.  Last night I actually installed a couple of packages with it.  I still need to write the uninstall code and fix some dependency resolution issues, then it will be ready for public consumption.

<p>
For those of you using <a href='/software/localfark/'>LocalFark</a>, they made a small change to the <acronym title='HyperText Markup Language'>HTML</acronym> on the front page which broke the <a href='/software/localfark/'>LocalFark</a> scraping.  I've fixed it here at home, but I'll need a little time to package up a new release.
