Using SharePoint WebService to generate a RSS Feed

I started using Sharepoint Portal Server to host a photoblog, but it did not natively support RSS to see when new photos were added. So I wrote this program that gets the items from the SharePoint webservice and outputs the RSS Feed.

Java, Ruby, Python, Apache, RedHat caps and the rest...

I've already written a post on the corporate blog about people using Unix and OSS: http://blogs.msdn.com/dmuscett/archive/2005/03/08/389487.aspx and now I figure out there's plenty of more crazy people out there. Check out these two posts for example

Blogs, Blogs, Blogs...

First of all, last week I have been playing a bit more with sharepoint, and decided that I could give it a go for a photoblog. Of course SharePoint is much more than a photoblog, with all sort of cool collaboration features.... We use all of those internally,
