I don't personally use such things, but with the restriction on the interval between fetches, would it be possible to have some sort of "development" version that doesn't hit the db, but still spits out XML in the form that this ticker does? I know that if I were to create a client for this, I'd probably need more than 50 tries before the time restriction kicked in. Moreover, it'd be nice to continue development on such a thing and not have to deal with waiting 10 minutes in between authorized refreshes only to find that you forgot something.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
