Google Reader

Google Reader does actually rock now. I think it’s time to switch RSS readers again.
Best of all (well maybe not best, but I haven’t heard a lot of people mention it) is that in addition to all the other great aspects that everyone has been blogging about since the upgrade, they also have a mobile-friendly [...]

Trying a new news reader

September 2, 2006 – 1:09 am

Tonight I imported all my feeds from Rojo into Newshutch, and will be trying that out for daily RSS reading for a while.
I saw Newshutch a while back, and while I really like the design (looks a little familiar, actually…), at the time they had some performance issues. It appears that they’ve solved these now, [...]

Back to Rojo

April 18, 2006 – 11:46 am

If you remember a while ago I switched back to using the Sage Firefox extension for RSS reading, since Rojo was having some issues at the time.
Well, I just checked in on Rojo again, and I’m happy to report that not only have they fixed those issues, but they’ve dramatically improved the UI as well. [...]

Tada!

April 6, 2006 – 12:24 am

After all the talk of lists on here this evening, I found myself inspired to go ahead and create a new WordPress plugin for list management (ironically bumping it ahead “in the list” of all the other things I’ve been meaning to write lately).
Without further ado, I present the Ta-da List Plugin!
The basic idea is [...]

Blogger Comment RSS Feed Generator - Done!

January 4, 2006 – 12:54 am

Progress on the open source development front…
Well, I stayed up a little longer than I wanted to, but I wrapped up the coding for the initial release of the first part of my feed aggregator, and one that I think will be pretty popular on its own (outside my aggregator) as well.
Through the magic of [...]

Oops

Speaking of bad things done with “good” motives:
The story of Kjell Jönsson
This is a story of private jets flying out of Germany, of kidnappings on European streets, and of torture. It has a cast of lawyers, spies, suspected terrorists, innocent bystanders and an ex-CIA boss who believes that ‘human rights is a very flexible concept’.

Online feed reader suggestions

October 30, 2005 – 6:39 pm

I’m looking for some recommendations on online feed readers, since Google Reader isn’t all that great after all. If anyone (like Dan) can get me into the Feedlounge trial from Alex that would be cool, but I’m also just looking for general recommendations of any others out there that are already released. I’ve tried Bloglines [...]
