A brief lapse of judgement.

Yes, I heard about that.  It was a tandem jump, but still.

All my friends listened to the early Queen albums, jammed jazz and
blues, and (I'm ashamed to report) hoped that Ronald Reagan would be
assassinated because we thought he was going to start WW III.  Not
much there to keep a blog going; certainly not much of a social life
until university.

I've tried Straw and Liferea in Linux, and prefer Liferea.  There are
some plugins for Mozilla/Firefox, but Firefox also has a simple RSS
reader built into its bookmarks now.

Under Windows, there are FeedDemon ($$, standalone), NewsGator ($$,
Outlook), and FeedReader (open source, standalone), along with the
Mozilla/Firefox options and dozens of other programs.

Under MacOS X, people seem to prefer NetNewsWire, but I think there's
also one called AmphetaDesk.

After all that, though, a lot of people use an online aggregator
rather than installing software on their computers.

Thanks.  I'm going to try for some variety -- today, I posted about an
NDB fansite, for people who log NDBs they manage to tune in the same
way plane spotters log tail numbers:

I'll probably do another more technical topic soon, maybe more of the
rules of thumb.



All the best,


David
