Custom feed refreshing in NetNewsWireMerlin Mann | Feb 28 2005NetNewsWire is one my favorite Mac applications.

So good, that I asked him to move a couple things around and turn it into a full-length guest feature for 43 Folders. So he did. Many thanks, Mike. I'm still getting my head around a lot of this, but already see many uses for this. Fellow Unix noobs: this looks like a pretty good first project, eh? read more »POSTED IN:
