Movable Type comments as RSS
Flickr has ruined me. Now I expect to be able to hit my 'subscribe in bloglines' button, and get a constant feed of the data inside any page.
The latest is the comments page on Movable Type. I mean, it's one of the greatest proponents of RSS and syndication, yet it's all outward facing, with no RSS used in site management or workflow.
I had a look around, and couldn't see anything that fitted what I want to do (see that there are pending comments for me to approve), so I hacked together a script to turn the latest comments in MT into an RSS feed - download the script here (you will need to rename it, edit the variables at the top, and throw it in the same folder as your MT installation).
Caveat emptor: no warranties or support. My Perl is bad and rusty, and I've never programmed with Movable Type before. It doesn't even work completely, but I get bored with programming very easily. Feel free to improve, rip apart, write a better one from scratch.
