penny arcade rss feed

somebody host this somewhere, I'm running this on localhost.

Technical note the @Page and <?xml> have to be on the same line b/c some RSS readers have a carriage return bug in them

<%@ Page language="c#" ContentType="text/xml" %><?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">

    <%
    DateTime today = DateTime.Now;
    for (int i=0; i!=21; ++i) {
		DateTime currentDateTime = today - TimeSpan.FromDays( i );

		if (
			(currentDateTime.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
			|| (currentDateTime.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Wednesday)

		{
		
		string title = "Comic " + currentDateTime.ToString("D");
		string pubDate = currentDateTime.ToString("r");
		string imgSrc = "http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/" + currentDateTime.ToString("yyyy/yyyyMMdd") + "h.jpg";

Done. Sort of. I don't run IIS, so I had to convert it to PHP. But here it is:
