My contribution to the RSS bandwidth question

As discussed in the comments, using Bloglines might be considered a better way to limit the bandwidth I use in checking on feeds, since it checks once an hour and shares the feed with all of the subscribers to that feed. So I decided to give it a try.

It’s better than I thought it was. For one, it does let you import OPML files, which saves me a ton of time. The other thing that I found neat was the clip blog feature, which basically lets me setup a “link blog” type of thing, without having to do hardly any work. So now I can save links for myself and point to interesting things that require no further comment, or don’t really fit on this or the child abuse blog. You can see it here. Don’t know if I’ll post as many links as Scoble does on his, but then again, I don’t read as many feeds as he does to find those links! 🙂

  • Recovering

    Spent most of today in bed, again. I finally got hungry and ate something around 5 this afternoon, that seemed to go fairly well and I’ve spent the rest of the evening getting hungry after not really keeping anything down for almost two days. That’s a good sign, right? 🙂 Anyway, I’m way behind on…

  • And on we go with another year

    It’s soon going to be 2003. This is a year I’ve actually looked forward to for quite some time. There’s quite a lot of unfinished business that I’m hoping to take care of this year, professionally. Obviously, that will start on Jan 6 when I take the A+ certifications. From there it’ll probably move into…

    I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad to have a week over with. There’s just been so much turmoil and stress involved with work this week that it will be so nice just to have a couple of days where I don’t have to be here! I did discover today that there wasn’t a…

  • How I spent my afternoon

    Well for most of the afternoon, I’ve been trying to convince myself that it is really not Friday yet, but it’s not working very well. That means that tomorrow should be a very long, unproductive day. Ugh! This afternoon, though, has been productive, at least personally. Well, I was running database mass modifications in the…
