UPDATE November 2011: This is currently not building. Oh well.

Generate a daily digest PDF in pocketmod booklet form to print out and enjoy.

See: http://www.pocketmod.com/

Usage:

    python digest.py

This will run through and fetch all the data, and save a PDF file in output/digest.pdf. The file will be opened when the script completes

I'm slowly filling in the pages of the booklet. I'll add them here in the order they appear:

1. Last.fm event recommendations

2. Tube line and station status

3. Twitter updates

4. Newsgator RSS headlines

5. Google calendar + Weather

6. Flickr photo spread left

7. Flickr photo spread right

8.
