Reading over lunch

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Getting a small chance to play catch up while I eat lunch, since Angela went home sick. (The heat in the building has reached a point of making her nauseous, maybe it’s time to send everyone home!)

Phil’s got a list of ways to surf blogs at random:

NextBlog! gives you a random recently updated Blogger-powered blog.

random blog gives you a random blog from the blo.gs database (not necessarily recently updated).

RandomFreshBlog is my version of the weblogs.com version of NextBlog! that Dave wants – I’m using the blo.gs changes.xml file rather than the weblogs.com version, since blo.gs’s file is a superset of weblogs.com’s.

Following those should be a fun way to find more blogs, if I ever find the time! 🙂

Blogrolling.com has new Blogroll Me! feature. (thanks to Useless Miscellany for the head’s up!)

Today is Doc’s 55th birthday. Hope it’s a good one! I’m looking forward to hearing him at Gnomedex next month!

    Andy’s post today reminded me of a similar experience I had. I submitted a resume in response to an ad on a nationwide job board. Actually a reputable one at that, but obviously they don’t control everyone who posts jobs there. Within minutes of sending the resume in response I got an email, letting me…

    Spent last night putting together a basic installation on Windows on the new laptop hard drive. I guess I should be glad that there’s a Microcenter close by and that they had some notebook hard drives in stock. Or I should be glad it went out while I was still home where I had access…
