You may notice a new link on the side of the blog to my new stalker feed. This feed is an RSS feed which combines all the items from all of my websites. So if you want to watch my blog, podcast, listal, del.icio.us, digg, Flickr, Last.fm and all that other stuff bunched into one feed, you’ve got it. Now you can monitor pretty much all of my Internet activities in one place.
You may or may not know that I host a podcast called GeekNights four nights a week. Well, I’m also an avid podcast listener. They are simply the best thing to entertain me all day while I commute and sit at work in front of the computer. There is a thing called OPML that allows people to share lists of subscriptions to various RSS feeds including podcast feeds. So if you like what I like just grab my OPML and combine it with your favorite podcatching software. That will get you subscribed to all the podcasts I subscribe to. I change my subscriptions fairly often, but you’ll always be able to get my newst OPML with the link on the right side of this blog.
OK, I’ve got quite a few updates about this site here. First off, there’s a problem with running out of RAM on our hosting. I’ve fixed it by adding more swap space, but that is far from an ideal solution. There might be a short downtime between now and the end of March when I upgrade to a better hosting package.
I sort of have this pet peeve with computer software. When something doesn’t work exactly the way I want it to I have to fix it. This sort of explains why I keep switching and tweaking window managers and themes. My current peeve is with RSS and Atom feeds, especially when it comes to podcasts.
There has been something bothering me very recently that I would like to share with you. I’ve been getting all my news from the Internet for over 6 years now, and I can’t say I’m more pleased. Google, Firefox, RSS, del.icio.us and others have all combined to make my browsing experience better and better over the years. Thanks to these technologies I can acquire new information in a very small amount of time without having to manually filter out a lot information I don’t care for.

I’ve finally upgraded this blog to run on WordPress. I must say, this is very awesome. I finally get to take advantage of all those web 2.0 features that I was missing out on. I have working trackbacks, automatic pings, tags, a database, proper RSS feeds, the whole shebang.

So there are all kinds of blogs on the net. And they carry different levels of content. Some have huge heaping piles of links, some post every day, some post every hour and some every minute. Some have podcasts, some have videos. You get the idea.
