Oh, I'm catching Not-Invented-Here Syndrome and catching it badly. I've been using OpenGoo and thinking about how easy it would be to write a better version from scratch. I was considering moving my feed reading to a web based application (Gregarius), and begun thinking about how easy it would be to pick up some RSS tools and build my own. I've played with Bespin and been thinking that I could do better.
Yes, I know. It isn't that easy. I also know that I haven't got the time to maintain my own web office software, web development environment, and web based feed reader. It's how Sourceforge earned its nickname Sourceforget. But, you see, if I just busted out my tools it wouldn't take that long...
