For the last week or so, the same phrases keep repeating. The date changes but "what happened" stays the same.

I wish this still worked. I woke up every day and would read these. They were just long enough to help me wake up w/o hitting snooze,but not so long that it would make me late for anything.

Yeah, it looks like history channel has changed up their feed significantly, I'm looking into incorporating their revised one.

For the last few days (March 2010) this widget has displayed only a title, no description. I wonder if it is permanently broken.

It's a sad fact, but the feed that this widget uses doesn't include the year in which the event took place. Sad times we live in. Sad times.

i noticed the years is mixed in the events text. so the question is the event's text is not divided by year.

why don't they tell you the YEAR the event occurred? That is much more important than the day of the month.

It would be nice if the YEAR that the event occurred in history would be displayed.
