More on Scoble’s aggregator blog

Looks like Kunal has come up with a solution for Robert’s aggregator blog that should keep everyone happy:

“His new version will post titles, and some text from the body, and post that. Only a small portion, though, not the entire text.”

That’s excellent, I was really worried that he would switch over to a typical “link-blog” which is not one of my favorite things in the world. Simply put, unless you have really descriptive links, I don’t have time to follow all the links on your link-blog to find the one or two that might be interesting to me. I’ve found that most people don’t put enough in the text of their links to help you decide whether the link is relevant to you. (Myself included, which is why I’ve really tried to not do posts with just a bunch of links and no real discussion of what will be found there.)

Looking forward to seeing it back in my aggregator!

    It appears that VMyths is going to cease operations while Rob Rosenberger is on an extended tour in the Persian Gulf. I’ll miss it. Not only did I enjoy Rob’s presentation at Gnomedex last year, but I used the site on a pretty conisistent basis as a reference tool, and pointer when dealing with questions…

    The laptop hard drive, which was ordered after 3 PM yesterday, and which I was told by the Compaq help desk person to not expect until Monday, maybe even Tuesday, arrived before 9 o’clock this morning.

    Been enjoying some non-techie time all weekend with the wife, but logged back in to discover that the Child Abuse site is offline. I’ve got an email out to the host, so we’ll see what’s happening on that front. I don’t have any idea what happened. If you’re looking for it, that’s all I know!…

    Yeah it’s back to work this afternoon after spending a wonderful morning learning about Microsoft Licensing. Aren’t I lucky to get to do that? There was some positive out of it though, while I was in their office, they had a bunch of demo software laying around, so I got a copy of just about…

    I re-learned two important IT lessons today. One occurred after we got up this morning to take a trip to the Zoo. I had gotten a new camera bag for my birthday, and spent a fair amount of time fitting the Nikon D50 into the bag, along with the extra zoom lens, and a few…

    Yes, it’s true. I was completely oblivious to the fact that my wife had turned what I thought was a small get-together with Andy and Kristen into a surprise early birthday party for me. I was, in fact, quite surprised to see a handful of friends already at the Clay Cafe when the 4 of…
