Come one, come all: Planet Zacchaeus is open for business!

Planet is a nifty aggregator written in Python that grabs blog feeds from divers ends of the web and strings them together in one place. I was reading Planet GNOME and thought how great it would be to have my own. It’s really easy to set up; the only marginally difficult thing is setting up the “hackergotchi” heads that appear next to every post. (I like the idea of my head showing up to my post—I’m tempted to do it in my personal blog—but that would be too much ego.)

(Just realized this is going to look really dumb on Planet Z because I just mentioned this on the Zacchaeus Blog, so there will be two posts saying the same thing. To make up for my foolishness I fixed up a little script that takes Xanga RSS feeds (which are broken by default) (reason number I’ve-now-lost-count why Xanga is t3h suck) and returns something more reasonable that Planet can read.)
