Arreglando un robot de Planeta Linux para identi.ca

December 8th, 2008 View Comments

Bueno, colocar los “feeds” rss del universo de Planeta Linux resulto un poco más complicado de lo que pensé, no por alguna dificultad real sino por el pésimo servicio que presta ETB(www.etb.com.co), simplemente cada ~30 segundos decidía no transportarme ningún dato durante ~30 segundos, esto se convierte en una pesadilla cuando se trabaja con servicios [...]
