Ok, I just got one of my audrey's out and workin' again, and right now have a little PHP application I've written that just cycles weather and a few pages which show random comics/pictures around the web. However, I'm wanting to add news service/other information display to this (so it will say, display random blubs from cnn/slashdot/whatever). I was wondering if anyone has found any good packages for information agregation that would do this. I know there's RSS aggregators that do stuff *like* this, but I'd really like to be able to have page scheduling (so it shows weather every 10 minutes or so), as well as needing module based output (since formating page for the audrey is an... interesting ordeal).

Also, if anyone has any ideas for a system like this, please throw them out, and I'll probably end up writing my own no matter what. :)

Why not just "refresh" every "x" number of seconds?

Just a thought

That's exactly what it does, except it creates a refresh-path so you arn't refreshing the exact same page over and over. Not to mention, most pages arn't optimized for a 640x480 screen with a browser that can't even do CSS.
