PyDS running as a Windows service

Yep, Georg did read my yesterday posting. He even added comment which I didn't see until now looking at my cloud.

This adds new atsks on my todo list: - How can I get notified when someone comments my posts? - What is the best way to put links to other websites in my Desktop Log - How do I create separate sections (Python, music, jokes, ...)

Internet is too big, not enough time to read it all

This morning, I started reading the stuff the aggregator collected from the dozen blogs I configured, and now at 19.00 I still haven't finished. I even didn't find the time to finish reading the PyDS User Guide and the reStructuredText manual.

Since I will be sitting/laying in the couch for the next couple of weeks (broken ankles), I'll have plenty of time to explore and adapt PyDS the way I like. I guess Georg Bauer must have seen my remark of yesterday about the Command Prompt window, because this morning he explained on the PyDS-dev mailinglist that the tsctl-win32.py script could also be used to start PyDS as a Windows service. That is the first item on my todo list.

Another thing I'll have to find out is how PyDS fetches its information. Once I'm back at work I'll have the problem of being behind a firewall and I'll have to use a proxy server then.
