This morning I was born again, I was born again complete

rawdog is an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of
Grandeur. Written in Python, it uses Mark Pilgrim’s feed parser to
read RSS 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, CDF and Atom feeds. It runs from cron,
collects articles from a number of feeds, and generates a static
HTML page listing the newest articles in date order. It supports
per-feed customisable update times, and uses ETags, Last-Modified,
and gzip compression to minimise network bandwidth usage.
(Convert OPML with perl -ne 'print "feed 3h $1\n" if /xmlUrl=\"([^\"]+)\"/')
