I knew it would happen

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

But I didn’t think it would happen this soon! Jonas dropped me an email early this morning asking why I didn’t cover Feedreader in the latest article. For the record, I did cover Feedreader in one of the followups to Part 1. It crashed repeatedly when I tried to run it and try it out, so it got tossed from the game. Jonas informs me that I can go to their support forums and find a pre-Alpha version that works better, assuming I can figure out how to switch it from Estonian to English. I think I’ll wait until there’s a real Alpha or even Beta release before looking at it again, because I don’t want to work that hard at getting it right now. I need a freakin’ break from aggregators for awhile! Despite Jevon’s claim that I am “Authority on all things aggregated”, I am actually kinda tired of testing them out for now. The ironic thing about this title is that while I’ve worked quite a bit on testing feed readers, I have very little idea of the technology behind creating the feeds. If Blogger didn’t generate one automatically, I’d have no idea how to build one for this site. *L*

In other news:

Trillian has released version 0.73:

No, this is not the next-generation Trillian we’ve been working on!

Microsoft was kind enough to alert us to a change in the MSN servers that would have negatively affected Trillian. Thanks, Microsoft!

Sometimes even Microsoft can be on the right side of an issue. 🙂 (link via Dane)

    Reading Medley I noticed an interesting quote from LWN. So what do you think? In light of the fact that you can use a Sharpie to circumvent copy-protection, when should we expect the RIAA to sue marker companies under the DMCA. It will be interesting to see if this develops any further or if they…

    Yeah it probably is flamebait but after Angela’s experience this morning, and a long conversation with our Graphics person at work, (the only Mac machine in the office) I gotta say, Mac OS X has been quite the disappointment. Actually, it’s not OS X so much as it is the “Classic Mac” which is supposed…

    Picked up this story at Download Squad the other day, about a Firefox Extension that will run an Internet Explorer engine inside one of your Firefox tabs. This is kinda cool if, like me, you work some place that uses Outlook Web Access, which runs much smoother in IE, or has an intranet site that…
