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.

    Mike Sanders, blogging’s philosopher in residence, has been having cross-blog conversations about “community”. Being in that same thoughtful mode I was yesterday, (What can I say, my work is lacking in the intellectual challenge department right now!) I would like to add my thoughts on community: When I first discovered the idea of “blogging”, it…

    I got some details on what went wrong with the email on both sites and Movable Type on the other site over the last few days. Seems the hosting company did a Perl upgrade over the weekend, but did not include all the same modules in the upgrade as had existed in the previous version….

  • OpenOffice 1.1 available

    According to this article the new version of Open Office is available for download. I tried out 1.0 a long while back and found it a little too limiting for what I use Office for, I wonder if it’s worth a look at the new one? Might make an interesting comparison to the Office 2003…

    Yeah, like that’s news, eh? 🙂 Anyway, a long time ago, in a website far, far away I had a link to the Web Site Garage. I haven’t used the service in years, but still had the link on the Basic HTML Help page. Well today I got a notice that the Website Garage service…
