I dont know what's up with the user groups' web sites. They mostly use DNNm so their template is kinda similar, but most of'em lack one thing: RSS for the events. I usually check the events for the month, but it is not easy to find all of them in one page. We have this Socal Tech Events page, however this page lists only the socal .net user groups' web site, but i need the events :). Why am i so obsessed about checking the events? Usually i tended to visit 3-4 user groups in a month without even checking who the speaker or topic is, but with the gas prices going up, and salary staying still, i cant afford this anymore, so i decided to check the speaker and guest first :).

Anyways to cut the long story short, i decided to write a scraper that will check the southern california .net user groups' web sites for the events, hopefully i will convert this into a BlogEngine control, so i can maybe put the control on my blog to list all the events.

Have fun coding.
