\t\t\t\t— We have a new feature here at the Navel called “RoboPundit.” This is a little bit of technology that features summaries and links to recent articles from a number of different blogs that I enjoy reading. The summaries are assembled automatically, hence the name. This works through Peerkat<\/a>, which grabs the summaries automatically generated by Movable Type<\/a> and some other blog tools (but not by Blogger, alhough Mr. Blogger has an RSS feed<\/a> on his personal blog), and makes an RSS feed<\/a> out of them. This feed is then grabbed by a server<\/a> that converts the feed into Javascript. The blogs are scanned every hour, but the service that converts the feed only runs once a day, unless I force it to refresh more often (or unless somebody else does, because anybody can force a re-build of the RoboPundit feed.)

All of this software is flakey, pre-release stuff, so I expect a little randomness, which we can pretend is punditry. I just did this to do it, not because I think it’s Really Cool or anything like that. Of course.
