Vista RSS Reader Sidebar Gadget [modified]
-
Has anyone else noticed that some RSS feeds always show a date of "sat dec 30" when displayed in the Vista RSS Sidebar Gadget? Is this a bug in the gadget, or something wrong with the feed? I tried Googling, but the only relevant pages I found didn't offer any kind of a solution - just more people asking the same question. The same feeds show up just fine in IE, Firefox etc. If it were up to me, I wouldn't use the Sidebar Gadget thing, but you just *know* that some customer somewhere will want to use it... [edit]Nevermind, I fixed it. Needed a Publish Date on each item.[/edit]

Well, I don't know where the problem is, but the date looks like an initialised OLE Automation date, for which midnight 30 December 1899 is represented as zero internally.
