The first heralds of change

Thursday, September 26th, 2002

I left my house under a charcoal gray sky, a hint of rain on my windshield. Twisting and turning my way down the back roads I travel every day on my way to the big, bad city I noticed a subtle change in to colors that usually pass by in a blur.

The canopy of green had just a touch of red and gold in their midst. It’s only a matter of weeks now before they’re on fire with hues of ambers, oranges, reds and golds — that last gasp of life before they leave their summer homes and rest peacefully on the ground below.

MIA or so they say….

For the record I am still alive, though the lack of posts may have lead some to believe otherwise. Posts may be scarce for the rest of this week as well, work permitting.

What? You still want a recap of what I’ve been up to? Well, the best answer I can give is “not much”. I saw a god-awful band on Friday that chased myself and good friend Sue from the Stone Pony and picked up a copy of Madden 2003 (which I have yet to win a game at) on Saturday, but beyond that…nothing.

Work and nothing. Damn, I lead such an interesting life sometimes.

You want to go where today?

Tell Google to “go to hell” and look at where it sends you. I always had a sneaking suspicion that Bill was Satan, but this just proves it. ^_^

Good, better, great!

I gots my pay today. Andy is no longer outrageously broke. That makes me happy. Happy happy Andy! ^_^

All it takes is one good program to get hooked on RSS

Wednesday, September 18th, 2002

Ranchero Software can be credited with making the first RSS news reader for OS X that I actually give a damn about and would care to use in the form of NetNewsWire Lite. For those of my readership who have no clue what an RSS reader is, it’s a program that reads special kinds of files that some sites offer, (like my site for example,) listing the headlines and sometimes an excerpt from the site. This makes it easier to find when sites have been updated and interesting articles you may have missed otherwise.

For those in the PC world, here’s a list of RSS readers for your platfom.

But what really has be salivating is the soon to be released pro version will have features such as the ability to post to my weblog from the app and will be “train-friendly”, storing news on disk so I’ll be able to read on the go.

It’s like they’re building it just for me. ^_^
