Bloglines

Spent the weekend getting ready for a final sprint here at work (read lots of sleep, kissing my family goodbye, and some more sleep).  Couple tidbits for the blog tho..

First off Bloglines.  I've been using rssbandit for a long time now, and have always loved it.  After reading a few reviews about bloglines out and about, figured I would sign up to see what all the fuss is about.  In my opinion, the fuss is just.  Bloglines offers a very viable replacement for any client based aggregator, and in fact I think I might just be a convert.  The interface is very nice, and FAST (yes, rss, and fast..).  Also, there isn't this time once an hour that my machine spikes to 100% cpu and 100 megs of ram, which is nice.  Plus, I figure I'm doing my part for the rss overload since (I assume) bloglines only stores 1 real copy of any given feed, hence my rss addiction uses less overall bandwidth.  Check out my public profile here.

Been working on a brainchild in what time isn't dedicated to work, or the family.  The dev's I run it by seem very interested, so this may be one of my harebrained idea's that I follow up on.  I hope to have some alpha spec done by mid October, and hopefully an alpha by year's end.  More details after the specs are complete.

Damnit, there was something else I wanted to talk about.  Oh well, it will have to wait.
