bye bye, blo.gs

since blo.gs appears to have finally given up the ghost on monday, and the quality of its update information was deteriorating before that, so i have finally gone and implemented my own crawler to figure out update times for the sites i still care about.

it shares a bit of code with the crawler for blog-la-sphere.

i have had it in the back of my head to implement something that works more or less like blo.gs did. but first i have a wedding to enjoy.
