Someone is playing around with my site using Rails and artificially raising my stats… I usually have a few hundred hits a day, that has doubled, with referrals pointing back to “http://localhost:3000/…” wonder what that is? 
Anyway, I don’t mind, but I would love to chat with whoever is doing it… I been playing around with a Rails based feed reader myself and maybe we could share ideas.

Sorry,Matt, it’s me.
I’m developing http://www.gleanreader.org/, a web-based feed reader. I’ve only been working on it for about 2 weeks, but I started “eating my own dog food” this week, so I’ve been using it to read all my feeds. I discovered yesterday that I had a bug in the code that was downloading the feeds every 5 minutes whether they needed updated or not, instead of honoring sites’ update interval. That *should* be fixed now. Sorry to inflate your stats.
If you’re interested, I’d love some help! At this point I’m intending to make it an open source project, but offer a hosted service for those that don’t have their own server or just don’t want to mess with setting it up.
