Kay said some nice things about Flock so I thought I bet­ter take it for a spin. It was also time to invest­ig­ate a replace­ment for the Sage RSS reader in Fire­fox I have been hav­ing some odd prob­lems there lately and my first attempt at a replace­ment with Oran­goo was an inter­est­ing exper­i­ence. And it was also time to tidy up my book­marks and make use of my del.icio.us account.

Things have been a little quiet round here lately, mainly because I write most of my posts on the unin­teruppted 35 minute bus ride to and from work. How­ever in the last week the rides have been spent invest­ig­at­ing RSS aggreg­at­ors and test­ing them on my trusty powerbook.

What I am look­ing for is to take feeds from a vari­ety of sources and put them into a single feed or feeds.

For those of you read­ing the RSS feed, you will of noticed a change from sum­mary
to full posts. I have made the change because of the num­ber of people tak­ing the
RSS feeds. Don’t worry if you want to keep the sum­mary feeds because they are
still available.

The tail­wind that made the morn­ing com­mute rel­at­ively easy had strengthen, so the ride home was into a nasty head­wind and what usu­ally takes an hour forty was just under two hours. And that was only because I man­aged to tuck in behind two riders who felt sorry for me for the last 5kms along the free­way bike path.

Get in the door, put the kettle on .….

After five weeks off a bike with a broken col­lar­bone, I finally got back on the road bike on Sat­urday, So this morn­ing my bright idea was to com­mute to work, hey it is only 43.5km each way.…

WE05 clos­ing party gos­sip, well I don’t think there was any real good gos­sip, as long Tantek Celik gets to his surf­ing les­son today. Oth­er­wise I will be in trouble from Amber after telling her I would look after him. I last saw Tantek in a taxi on his way back to the hotel from Kings Cross, unfor­tu­nately he was with Doug Bow­man and Doug was the only one the King Cross spruikers was try­ing to get into their sleazy night clubs.
