I finally hashed out the Bloglines red ! bug.  It was a tough one.  Amazon has a limit of 1 request/second/IP through their API.   I had been building the feeds on the fly and keeping a six hour cache.  But when Bloglines would want all the feeds refreshed at the time I would go over my Amazon limit and cause the feeds to choke.  I fixed this by writing a small background task that ran from cron and refreshed active feeds periodically.  This meant that when Bloglines would hit my server it could use the cached feeds.  This one was a pain to figure out.

I also switched to this modified version of FeedCreator.  I’ve dropped support for Atom .3 and added Atom 1.0.
