Naming names…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Geek News Central has a post about unsubscribing to a handful of feeds that are both partial feeds, and filled with Google Ads. He was nice enough not to name names but I’m sure that any of you who subscribe to said feeds (Cough, cough, Lockergnome, cough cough..)know exactly who he’s talking about. Seriously, with all the available tech feeds out there, why should I bother with one that only contains 3 lines of text and an ad in every post?

Update: Chris was kind enough to leave a comment and let me know that the ads are no longer on every item. That’s better.

Our flight’s at some ungodly hour (6AM), which with airport security being what it is, means us at Port Columbus around 4AM. Needless to say, there will be no time for an online presence this evening. But here’s a short list…

    This is the result of spending my time on the hunt for a missing laptop from our laptop pool while my manager gets Photoshop happy. Who says we don’t have a good time down in the IS Department? And yes, as soon as I saw it I told him that was so totally going on-line…

    Replacing Google Reader Isn’t Easy

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As you may know, I decided to go with the upstart The Old Reader as my Google Reader replacement when Google shut it down. It had everything that I had enjoyed from Google Reader, even if it wasn’t backed by a humongous infrastructure in the same way that Google Reader was. I can see now…

  • Early birthday

    I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to mention that my lovely wife picked up my birthday present a couple of weeks early over the weekend. Since we have thousands of digital photos sitting on the hard drive of my desktop machine at home, and I worry about the ability to back them up…
