(Hello, I'm new here - hope this warrants a new topic!)

After thoroughly enjoying watching the Phoenix landing from the comfort of #space on irc.freenode.net, I appear to have found a vast community of fellow space-geeks. Emboldened by some of the gadgets, web applications and whatnot that were being produced, I thought I'd channel my minor addiction for screen-scraping sites into RSS feeds by producing one for the Phoenix raw images page.

So, here it is: http://www.hylobatidae.org/misc/phoenix_v1.php

It's currently incredibly basic - it'll update at most every 30 minutes, and isn't providing any metadata for the images it links to. Some of the ideas I had for improvement include grabbing metadata (some of it for conversion into tags?), batching nearby images into larger articles (so instead of, say, fifty images listed as separate articles, have them in one big one) and things like that.

Any suggestions?

Now, you people have confused me. Can't I be an enthusiast and a geek at the same time? laugh.gif
