I've been using Amphetadesk as a news aggregator for the last few weeks. Today, while poking at it, I came up with a few ideas and mailed them to the guy who makes it - Morbus Iff - fully expecting them to vanish into the ether. A few minutes later, I got a mail back saying that two of my ideas were going to be in the upcoming new release, and that the third would be as well, and he attached a new template file with a way to do it already. That's service, so y'all go and download Amphetadesk now.
What it does: It fetches the XML RSS feed from a wide variety of sites, and puts it all in one file on your desktop, downloading fresh material up to once an hour, whenever you're online. Cuts down the clicking through lots of weblogs and news sites to reading one local file, and clicking through if you want more information.
Morbus also runs gamegrene.com, an excellent gaming site. Is there nothing the man can't do right?
