For some reason I haven’t been in a writing mood this week. Can’t think why but I suspect a fully loaded RSS reader has probably kept me more that satisfied. Especially with the recent explosion of sideblog/linkfarm/low-threshold linkblogs that are cropping up everywhere. Here’s a project for y’all. Grab an RSS reader (Newzcrawler is okay for PCs, NetNewsWire for the Mac) and load it up with all the linkblogs listed on Cameron’s Overstated blog. Then watch your browsing quality rocket. Gary kindly noted I was blogging well and this is why. Try it.
That aside I’ve been working hard which is probably the other reason for no writing. The cable pulling job turned out to be very dull but extremely tiring with a fair dollop of emotional stress. But it’s over now. I’ll probably write about it later if it still seems interesting. On Friday I worked at an old people’s home cleaning the toilets and emptying bins. Now that was fun!
And now I’m off to Banbury to stay with sister for a couple of weeks. Then it’s probably back to Winchester to dig up mum’s garden for a few days (she wants a patch of lawn to, g’wan guess, do yoga on) before finally making it to Brum on or around September 14th.
So, that’s me news. Or some of it. I’m not sure how frequent my blogging will be over the next month but I’m pretty sure it’ll be less that this one.
What’s an RSS reader? Do I want one? How would it benefit me? I haven’t got time to read the blogs I already know about. (Found you via Quickos, if you’re wondering :)
You don’t need one but it’s worth trying it out. The main advantage is it tells you when blogs are updated so you don’t have to trudge through a big list of bookmarks. This means you read more blogs but spend less time on them.
And more, but I’ll let you figure that out for yourself. It’s the kind of thing you need to experience rather then be sold on.
Thanks for that. Now I just have to try and work out how to do it.
