You obviously didn't check out my del.icio.us page. That's the first thing I tested.
conveniently chosen to happen at 1 minute before midnight
Why not do it one minute after midnight and get the previous day's links?

hehe. I grabbed the username "matt" (though I usually go for "bean") and went poking around, but I have no idea what this thing is supposed to do. Maybe it's late and I'm not getting it, but I don't understand the site, and the about page isn't much help.

Actually, I use del.icio.us now for all my Quick Links entries:

Also, you may have already seen it, but the /about page at del.icio.us lists all kinds of hacks for getting links from there and into a blog. Fun stuff!

That would work also. I was just lazy and did the minimal modifications. I'm insanely busy working on a paper for submittal for publication next week. I made some mistakes (including that) in the current iteration of my site which I plan to go back and fix after I am done with this and have slept a while.

You know, I could use the "extended" field for HTML or even my variant of StructuredText, and work "via" links and such out that way. Though, it obviously wouldn't work right within the del.icio.us system itself (HTML or StructuredText would be displayed raw, for instance), so it may be inconsiderate to post text there that's inappropriate for the system.

You can put any commentary you want in the "extended" field. I choose not to display it just to make the list a little more uniform, but you could easily put html source in there to credit people. I'm not positive whether they strip HTML or not, but you could probably work something out. I obviously generate one post a day for my site (conveniently chosen to happen at 1 minute before midnight so the chances of missing a link posted in that timeframe is very small).
I use Movable Type, so I am considering making links into a side-blog type deal, so each one would have its own entry and generate the groups through templates. This would take a little work of looping through the recent ones to check if the URL had been seen before, but it wouldn't be that hard.
Just some thoughts.
