Well, I hacked together a blogroll using blo.gs, Natalie's time_since function (thanks Natalie!), my XML library, and my other library which shall remain nameless until such a time when it is released. And PHP, of course... since my site's still running that.
I modelled it off of Simon's, and it's down on the lower-right there. Unfortunately, it's only got blogs on it which are current on their pinging (plus, I still have to add some more). Once I finally write my own web site update checker I won't have to depend on other data sources for updates.
Unnecessary details: Updated once an hour via a cron job, XML is converted into my own format which shall remain nameless until such a time when it is released, and some of the data is munged along the way. In particular, the verbose date/time format is changed into Unix timestamps. Oh, and here's a link to the XML source from blo.gs.
