Journal jdavidb's Journal: Watching people die 4
It's a little bit morbid, but I've been scraping Wikipedia to create a feed that gives me names of the recently deceased.

Watching people die
Our OS who art in CPU, UNIX be thy name. Thy programs run, thy syscalls done, In kernel as it is in user!

What is the data source for this?
How did you aggregate it into a feed?
P.S. Thanks, I think I'll subscribe to this.

I used Perl with HTML::Tree to scrape the page on Wikipedia. I wrote my own custom parser for the data within the page. I used XML::Atom to generate an output feed. I then gave the URL of that feed to feedburner as input.
Glad to hear it's useful to some folks! :)
