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!

    So the voice mail system went kaput! already this morning. There’s nothing quite like looking over at your phone and seeing the red light next to the voice mail button on solid red when you don’t have the phone off the hook. Hmm let’s see, if I hit the button it says “Voicemail is Unplugged”….

  • EDT, yippee

    I hate the Monday after Daylight Savings Time starts. I especially hate having to attend a staff meeting (yawn!) first thing in the morning on the Monday after daylight savings time starts. There is not enough coffee in the world to get me going for that. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Brad makes an interesting point, is Trillian Pro even legal? You’re paying for access to other, free, IM systems. Or could they claim you’re paying for the add-ons because the free version of Trillian already gives you access to those systems for free? Interesting question, any legal scholars out there? For a little bit of…

  • More on Gmail for the troops

    The website for Gmail4Troops has a new feature, an actual online matching system provided by ISIPP. I entered my info in the matching system earlier this morning and just received my first request by email and sent off the invitation! I’ve got to say, I’m impressed by how quickly this technology has come together to…

  • Do all ISP’s suck?

    Dave is complaining about Verizon. The “install” of the DSL service branded his browser, changed his homepage and changed all the email server settings. Yeah, Roadrunner’s “install” did the same thing, when all it really needed was the gateway IP and DNS servers. In fact, once I got my router pointed at the correct gateway,…
