I feel like Alice in Wonderland, thrust into the middle of some strange land, with rules I don't understand.

Shedding light on a black hole.

Talk about a tale of woe. Amy Wohl reports that her email newsletter, which goes out only to subscribers (and which has been going out since long before anything called an ISP went into business) is being blacklisted as spam by Interland, and, presumably, by every other ISP that relies on the same blacklist that erroneously lists her newsletter.

Sounds like the the blacklist cure is worse than the spam disease.

Computerworld has ten new RSS feeds.

If you're a Radio user, be sure to get the nifty RSS Explorer tool, and then click here to choose the Computerworld feeds you'd like to subscribe to. It's a pretty nerdy pub, but they can probably tell you what IBM is up to and Unix and wireless stuff, and Microsoft. [Scripting News]

g cron jobs that run once per hour on the Webreference server (Scheduler is the NT counterpart):

rss2html.pl http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf > slashdot.html rss2html.pl http://freshmeat.net/backend/fm.rdf > freshmeat.html rss2html.pl http://www.linuxtoday.com/backend/my-netscape.rdf > linuxtoday.html rss2html.pl http://www.xml.com/xml/news.rdf > xmlnews.html rss2html.pl http://www.perlxml.com/rdf/moperl.rdf > mop.html

The commands above fetch the RSS files off the Web and convert them to HTML. Using Server-Side Includes (SSI), I've included the results below:
