Out and about today

John Udell has written a story about Personal RSS Aggregators. He takes a very professional and journalistic approach to describing all of the available options, but frankly, I don’t think he ever installed and ran any of them beyond Radio. Most of the descriptions are standard website fodder, with no real details on what it was like for John to use them.

Not to toot my own horn, (I’m going to anyway, so deal with it. *L*) but my similar article at least gives you details on what happened when I actually used the programs in question! And I’m not even getting paid for it! C’mon John, you can do better! (link via Meryl)

Jevon is running his blog on Nucleus, which seems to run on your server using PHP4 and MySQL. It may be something to keep in mind. Although the concept of redesigning the freakin’ template, again, does not fill me with pleasure and excitement. When it does, I’ll think about making any switches! (and you know that, as much of a geek as I am, the prospect of spending hours coding a template will excite me again someday!)

OK, I’m ready for my work day to be over, I have 4 hours of Father Ted on DVD to watch tonight before I have to take it back to the library!
