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!

    Dave pointed to something written by Joshua Allen today that talks about the software industry and where their focus should be. I have to admit, it’s a good piece. This line really summarizes my feelings on the whole matter: “And the guy paying for it doesn’t care what language, OS, or database you use as…

    I’ve already spent a good 30-45 minutes going through all the spam that my boss collected over the weekend. She seems to get more than most folks here, or at least seems more irritated by it, so I tried to go through it all and come up with some Outlook rules that will make things…

    Per MarcV’s request in the comments for that last post. Here’s a brief description of what I’m using OneNote for. I’ll break it down into two sections, because I use my official work copy on my desktop at work, and my free “thanks for beta testing and attending the rollout event” copy on my personal…

    I just got an email about Bill Gates and AOL wanting to send me money to forward emails to all of my friends. I haven’t seen that one in awhile, but what makes it especially noteworthy, is that it was sent by a salesperson for a company that I met at ITEC last month. A…
