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!

  • Thoughts for the weekend

    Random cantankerous thoughts that I’ve thought this week: People who feel the need to remind you how open minded they are, aren’t. It’s probably time to bail when the association you work for decides that the very core of what it does, isn’t something they can sell to people and their own marketing people start…

    Random updates on previous posts: The tape drive from Friday turned out to be fine. Had a little scare with static electricity when I went to unplug the drive and plug it back in, but aside from suddenly shutting down our only server with no notice late Friday afternoon, everything was back to normal. The…

    How I Consume and Curate: Step Two and Three – Tagging and Sharing

    From time to time, I am asked how I can keep up with numerous blog topics, twitter accounts, and Facebook pages while not making myself crazy. Well OK, maybe I am actually crazy, that is up for debate. However, what isn’t up for debate is that it takes a lot of content to keep all…

  • Magic

    It’s easy to lose sight sometimes of how “magical” what we do in tech support can appear to the people we support. Over the last couple of days I’ve had the opportunity to work on a couple of problems for our users that, well let’s just say that the solutions to these problems won’t come…
