RSS To Fortune

OK, this could be the most useless service on the web, but I made it and there's nothing you can do to stop it. I cajoled Andy Baio into putting his Links Archive up, then berated him for not putting them in the file format used by fortune.

So here's a little program to convert RSS feeds to fortune files. Don't ask me what good it will do you. And the source is simple enough that anyone who would need their own copy can most likely write it themselves, considering the audience. Not that I'm sure why anyone would need their own copy.

[Update: OK, fine, the source is at http://george.hotelling.net/projects/rss2fortune.phps]

Still the source would be instructive, and very cool.
