Does QuarterToThree.com have an rss.xml file that I can pull into my portal app, so I know when new content is posted without having to make a trip to the site?

If there's not...that would be...helpful?

Also, can we please get the Royal Tenenbaums banner down? I mean, it's out on DVD now!!

I have no idea. What's an XML file? All I know about XML is that a document I was editing while at PopTop kept crashing because it had XML embedded in it. I had to look at it in HTML mode and remove all that XML stuff. Kinda sucked.

But they CAN'T take it down:

You wouldn't want Mark and Tom to get in TROUBLE, would you?

Sparky, I really appreciate your attempts at getting them to change the banner. Unfortunately, your one woman crusade with Photoshop doesn't seem to be working. :?

Yeah, it's kind of like a mattress tag in that regard.

I actually approached an independent game maker about a banner for their game, which I love, and the bastard never replied to my email! So you people have to look at the RT banner until I think of a better one.

Was it Codo, Tom? Because the same thing happened to me.

No, it was a developer by the name of Illwinter who made a fantasy strategy game called Dominions.

Isn't there something from Codo you could take from their website? I figure most developers have banner sized artwork all over their sites. I was going to use Sparky's brilliant F*ck Star Wars banner, but I don't want to offend our family audience.

Oh, wait, we don't have a family audience...

As much as Star Wars is fucked, it will remain fertile ground for new jokes. This one is pure genius, but you will have to paste the link into your browser:

Oh, that's wonderful!! I think I'm gonna have to snag that one. Heck, that's wallpaper material!!

And I don't just mean for my computer's desktop. :)

Heck, by now there's something nostalgic about the RT banner. I'd be in favor of replacing it with Sparky's new RT banner -- It's even more appealing with the "Do not remove" verbage.

My apologies for spouting out programming jibberish. I was referring to a file some sites use that describes all the content that's currently on the site. For example, there would be an entry for each new piece of content that's posted to the front page.

Then web nerds like me can go out and get that file with a program and find out what's currently on the site.

This method is how a lot of portal sites like yahoo get their stories to you.

If this sounds even remotely interesting, I'd be happy to contribute some of my time. I love this site, and would love to give back to it in some way.

Hey Tom. Dropped you the e-mail. Just wondering if you had any questions for me.
