The new flock is almost a great RSS reader

So I've been hunting for my perfect RSS reader for years now, I think I've tried all of them, but can't find one that meets all of my requirements: View available for unread articles only - this one should be obvious, and is the highest priority. Support for grouping feeds into folders/tags...

actually getting things done

Seems to be a time of actually getting things done for the past couple of days. I've gotten my tasks done on time for my 2 major projects at work and even managed to begin my mail migration to zimbra (1 domain down, at least 2 to go.) Hopefully I can keep it rolling. In other news - there's...

In Alabama now.

There's a nice place on the way that we stopped at called Caliente' grill that was a lot like Chipotle'. Jen's reaction was that we need one in Lafayette (I've been saying that for over a year.)

Holy crap! Flightgear is 1.0!

I've been watching that flight sim for YEARS - wonder what 2.0 will be like.

I am now webmaster for broug

Looks like I'll have a lot of work to do http://broug.org

Looking pretty hard at the Honda Fit over the Yaris

I had my heart set on the Yaris for a long time but after a couple of conversations with people who know things about cars I'm looking at the Fit now, looks to have a lot more to offer.

Weekend

So I don't use this much - but I figured there wasn't enough useless nonsense out on the internet so I decided to throw in my contribution. My mother-in-law had brought my wife and son out to Ocean springs for the weekend so I've had this weekend to myself. It's not often that this...

less play....

More work. That's been my story lately anyhow. I've maxed myself out on my work schedule and have been making every effort to concentrate on my current project. I've gotten a reasonable timeline laid down and putting it in a document that I have to stick to has been really helpful. But I've...

TinyURL on Linux

I found this shell script here thanks to google. #!/bin/bash # Create a tinyurl export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin lynx -dump http://www.tinyurl.com/create.php?url=$1 | grep -m1 http://tinyurl.com | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//' I decided to use it in KDE, in my klipper configuration, I added...

Good Day

I've run across a few interesting things today. The Open CD has released version 2.0 of their CD, the only real software project they maintain is the browser, which is using Gecko, but it's a good compilation of Open Source licensed software, and is good for people who don't have the...

Another try

I tried posting an entry friday night but a thoughtless reboot trashed it, basically I was messing with udev for kernel 2.6 and the firefox window got lost in it. I'm liking udev , although I'm currently having some alsa probs that I need to get around. One thing about it, I had been...

past couple weeks

since I tend to bounce around in my thoughts i'll probably do the same here. mozilla 1.0 was released yesterday....which i was excited about, however since its been all minor bugfixes since about RC2, I really didn't see much difference between RC2 and RC3. The point where I decided it was ...
