Found a much better RSS reader

So I recently posted a lament about my inability to find a great RSS reader. I think I may have found a good start. Tiny Tiny RSS not only looks great but behaves pretty well too. So far it has most things in my list of wants out of an RSS reader (only been usng it actively...

I will have twitter setup on my mobile phone for festival international. If you don't have a twitter account, get oen and follow Merlin8000

As much as I prefer to use my blog for most things - this should be great for festival international.

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...

I seriously hate my Treo 680

I've been a Palm user for many years - it's been an interesting ride. There have been many feature and flexibility issues, but my Treo 680 is the first Palm device with stability issues. It crashes for nothing, sometimes entirely at random. It also freezes for as long as 30...

Giving my son a bath

This has been my official duty for a while now, He's now at the point where he sits safely on his mat and makes good use of his bath toys.

I think I've decided on a language for OpenCashflow's core

I've been thinking (some) about OpenCashflow recently, and have decided to go with my instincts regarding the core's language and to use C++. I had been considering C, Java, and even C#, but the truth of the matter is that finance calculations seem to make the most sense in C++. From looking at...

Highly unimpressed with Meridian

Did find a couple of deals at the Hudson's here though. Other than that it's mostly rude people and unreasonably bad traffic.

Holy crap! Flightgear is 1.0!

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

Looks like I'm the new BROUG webmaster

I should have plenty of work to do. http://broug.org

Wow I'm really liking Google's chart API

This google chart api is so simple i feel bad for wanting to use it. http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ I managed to put together my own charts really quick, but it did take me a minute to figure out how to format the chart data.

Sitting down to watch War of the Worlds

Been a good day, didn't mamage to get much done though.

Giving twitter an honest try

I've basically come to a conclusion about twitter . While it's a great idea the fact that the structure of twitter is so centralized continues to be an issue for me. What I'd really like to see as the lagacy of twitter is a new set of instant messaging features. Broadcast messages to...

An idea

I've been thinking about time tracking software lately and that there's little really good time tracking software that fits my real needs in spite of how common my needs are. The idea popped into my head that I should have a different keystroke for each item that I'm tracking my time on. So...

busy busy busy busy busy weekends

Just taking the time to vent over the fact that our past 3 weekends have been completely booked! This past weekend was mother's day, and we spent it visiting with all 3 families, and a very close friend of ours held her baby shower on Saturday. The weekend before was my neice's first...

Tags and metadata

I'd like to start by addressing the current popularity of tags . I've been using tags extensively for about two years now. I first started my affair with tags while using last.fm . Soon after I discovered last.fm, I became curious enough to open a del.icio.us account. After my initial...
