Back to Google Reader
I’ve chronicled my adventures with Bloglines before, several times, in fact. I was not happy when their new “beta” was released, but after several revisions, it proved to be a worth successor. Some time ago, I switched over full time to the beta version and never looked back. It’s better looking, smoother, with a much [...]
To Those That Read firsttube.com via RSS
To those of you that read firsttube.com via RSS, I’m sorry about the recent difficulties. My conversion to Wordpress is almost entirely complete, including handling all old links, etc. I have a few legacy things left to fix. In the meantime, I realize that my feed has been screwy for the last [...]
From Bloglines to Google, and Back
I ditched Bloglines the other day for Google Reader. I’m not a huge fan of Bloglines’ new beta interface, most because I find it clunkier than the current interface. Sure, the current one feels a little dated, but it works. Plus, the iPhone interface is nice.
Google has a lot going [...]
Mac Freeware RSS via Yahoo Pipes
Ever wanted to view all of the MacUpdate universal binary apps, but limit it only to freeware? MacUpdate doesn’t offer such a feed, but thanks to the incredible Yahoo Pipes, I was able to make the feed myself. I love that site, it’s really amazing.

Enjoy.
Changes to firsttube.com
I am very excited about how portable Small Axe, the engine that powers firsttube.com, has become. I am going to be upgrading the site in the next few weeks. You won’t see a ton of new stuff, but it will be much more powerful and configurable for me.
One place I have [...]
firsttube.com RSS integration
For those of you subscribed via RSS, you’re going to find a surprise very shortly. I integrated the “firsttube.com link blog” into the feedburner RSS feed for firsttube.com. If you are using a locally hosted copy of my RSS, you will still get only firsttube.com items. So just to review, here are [...]
Goodbye, Firefox. Hello Flock.
Well, I’ve made the jump from Firefox to Flock. I’ve complained about Firefox for long enough, and a few days testing has shown that Flock will serve my needs just fine. I have a few observations though, so keep reading for the details.
A Final Word on the Firefox Fiasco
So the Mozilla develpers – particularly the Firefox ones – appear to have adopted this stance:
We are going to bring the XML/RSS easy-subscribe feature to a new, wider group who isn’t demanding it yet, with no planned course of action for the people who are currently using it and came to rely upon it. [...]
More on Firefox
It’s not constructive to constantly rant with no action. So rather than just bitch and moan, I decided to give the Firefox devs the benefit of the doubt and move my complaints to their USENET group as requested.
Here’s the thread. I got a fairly nice response from one of the devs, [...]
Firefox 2 is RSS Stupid
I’ve used Firefox since at least 2002 when it was “Phoenix 0.2.” The internet trail proves it. I *think* I used Phoenix 0.1. Either way, I’ve been on the Firefox bandwagon since the very beginning – actually before it – since I used Mozilla on Linux even earlier when it was in [...]
