Three Strikes
I removed my Netflix queue display sidebar item temporarily. Netflix has apparently altered the format of its feeds. Though the parser/translator continued to work, the footprint of the output is bigger than I would like. (Not to mention all the images, geez.)
It'll come back after I've revisited the formatting. This might be the time to look into an XSL tranformation for RSS feeds, to coerce them into the sidebar format, then style them with CSS. Right now, it's all done with hardcoded, feed-specific python code.
This follows the software design rule of threes. I wrote it once for Netflix, then again for last.fm. Now, I have to do it again for Netflix. It's probably time to produce a general feed-to-xhtml solution.
