Josef Fritzl, 73, admitted to police that all the children were his.

The Project After building out a collection of RSS feeds that attendees could use to track the DEMO conference in January, I was approached by Sun about helping build a blog coverage microsite to track discussion of their giant JavaOne conference that starts next week. This is an example of one end of the RSS spectrum, most use cases are far simpler – so don’t be scared! How We Did It Step One: Build the Queries FeedBurner.
