I've hacked together an RSS feed for the 50 most recently added PDF
files to bitsavers based on pdf/Whatsnew.txt.
<http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/vintage/bitsavers.xml>
I'd appreciate it if some other people would subscribe to this RSS
feed in their web browsers/RSS readers and let me know how well it
works.
Features:
- parses out the file path from pdf/name/name/name.pdf to
'name :: name :: name', hopefully trying to make it more legible.
- Takes anything after the first space on the line to be a
description of the file. These haven't been added to the .txt
file for some time, but if they're there, I'll pick them up.
- adds categories based on the first name in the path, i.e. the
company name folder on bitsavers
- includes the PDF itself as a linked attachment (through the
vt100.net mirror)
- is updated once an hour
- is generated from a one page perl script
"Some day in the future" features
- extract first page of the PDF as an image and link with a
thumbnail
