New Door results

dive into mark/Recommended Reading
In the left hand sidebar, I've added a new feature: My New Door recommendations. The script caches my recommended reading once a day. I've tried to clean up the results by adding links I read and links I'm not interested in, so you shouldn't see duplicate links that appear both there and in the Without section. However, because my New Door recommendations vary as do the links on my page at any given point in time, I can't make any promises that there won't ever be some redundancy.

As I did this, I noticed that depending on what links you include and exclude you can really change your results. Merely by including my results my list changed completely. Other fluctuations may be due to changes in the ecosystem data. In any case, because I haven't taken the time to see exactly how Mark's code works, I'm not exactly sure where the differences come from.

I'll be making the code available for download as soon as possible (the backend changes on my host aren't yet complete and this could affect some things, ie when the dns changes take effect I'll have two versions of all my files). Please keep in mind: since this is a screen scraper, any time Mark makes changes, there's a good chance this will break as well.
