Uzbl Speed Dial

Run this script like ./speeddial.py > home.html and load it on uzbl, you can also feed it directly. Keep an eye on sitedict, delicious links , colors and the template for configuration. I used jinja2 and feedparser, there should be a zillon of other ways to do this I think this serves more as an idea than the solution one might use.
