I previously wrote about my adventures in setting up a Mac Mini to be a Home Theater PC (HTPC). Part of the Mini's duties, as a HTPC, are to periodically wake up and check various RSS feeds for updates. Unfortunately some of the feeds have a large number of updates daily and checking them once per day means missing updates that have scrolled out of their RSS feed. To insure I did not miss an update I began thinking about how to check each RSS feed multiple times a day while still allowing the Mini to sleep (for the most part) while not actively in use.
