links for 2008-02-16

Came across this from November 2007 again when doing some research today. Surely the most unintentionally funny piece the Mail has ever published.

More tools than I've got time to look at, but a useful list to point people to

"I remember things were much more intriguing - searching for new cool blogs, trying to decode the bloggers. I was cautious of my comments. Now things are more comfortable. So I thought, its time to make things more interesting; get rid of the RSS curse".

"I keep noticing my CPU is getting sucked up to an astonishing degree by NetNewsWire and given that I had about 630 feeds, I thought there might be a connection. I’ve been working my way through. And here's how I decide whether to kill or keep". Brutal

"Music weekly NME has been overtaken by Classic Rock for the first time". Although it would be interesting to add web figures into that mix. I get the NME via RSS - not sure I even knew if it was still a weekly in print

"It seems to me that you are saying that inheritance is wrong, and that 'big business' is wrong. Are you a closet communist, Shane? - dangerdanger82". ROFL.

"Snowfalls, gale-force winds and low temperatures will extend from northern Greece to the rest of the country in the weekend". There will be a certain amount of irony if my trip to London on Monday is disrupted because of the bad weather in Greece.

'South Wales police said they did not believe the suicides were linked & played down any connection with internet sites'. Doesn't stop the Mail saying they were 'both members of the Bebo and Facebook social networking sites' and quoting their profiles.
