Sorry for the (extremely) slow reply, I've had t deal with some issues 
relating to my day time job.

To subscribe to the Gabber News via my watcher system you can send a jabber 
message to watcher at personalbuddy.com which contains the text "watch gabber 
news".

The watcher can be easily adapted to any RSS/RDF feed, so if anyone has any 
others they would like added then please let me know.
