A question on news tickers... by Arienadean 2001-11-12 19:14:42
I installed GKrellM's newsticker... it came with three sites in it which of course I can change. However problem is I don't know what all is out there newsticker wise to add in. It requires a url to a rdf... I tried looking up "news tickers" and also "rdf" and both together... I got a variety of sites but not what I was looking for and a ton to weed through... so if anyone knows some intresting "*.rdf" tickers could you tell me the urls? Thanks...

What I'm looking for is sites/rdf/tickers that are: Canadian news, world news, and UK news... Also if there is something on science headlines... Not sure whats all out there. The ticker currently displayes three sites headlines(listed below). If your wondering what GKrellM is its a monitor tool. Right now mine is set up to check mail, view 2 cams, rotate some still pics on hard drive, mount/umount some drives, various system stats, and controll xmms. I just added this ticker in... (it also has other things I could of added to it... full list of plugins is on the GKrellM website... or some are listed on fresmeat.net)

This is what the GKrellM newstickers "newsticker.rc" file has in it(to give you an idea of format and stuff):

name=Slashdot
url=http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf

name=Gnotices
url=http://news.gnome.org/gnome-news/rdf

name=KDE Dot News
url=http://www.kde.org/dotkdeorg.rdf
