I'm currently running my laptop with Windows Service Pack 2 installed. Guinea Pig 1 reporting. So far no green monsters of sludge have emerged from beneath qwerty to claim my soul, so I guess everything went well with the BitTorrent download.
Yes. I said BitTorrent.
And I also said download. [thanks waxy!]
Not only that, but I managed to eat 12 Buffalo Wings, drink two homebrewed brewskies and cleanse the pallete with some New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream. All while watching the Hall of Fame game. How did football season get here so quick?
I also managed to install Sage v1.2 for Firefox, organized all my feeds into 11 categories, with quite a few subcategories - was all excited that it would increase the amount of time it took to get my fix...which is impossible. There's just too much info out there. Perhaps getting that LIS degree will help...hmmmm.
Couple observations about Sage. I haven't yet figured out how to mark my feeds as unread, which is how I have been conditioned via Syndirella. I'd read an entry in a feed, finish off the rest of the feed and then mark the entry as unread so I could go back and either blog it or peruse it further. I suppose I should start reading like a normal surfer and actually use the bookmark tool in firefox. Same sort of process.
I have yet to fiddle with the customizable stylesheets - but that should be a fun aspect to toy with. One day it's all nice and organized -- then I get my hands dirty and render it utterly useless for a week or two. There's just something about that blue hue that I find utterly repulsive. I must say the rest of the layout is quite easy on the eye.
One delayed thought --- It'd be nice if you could lock the feed so that it only opens up on one particular browser window. It takes a while for all the feed details to load - and upon finishing - the results are displayed on whatever page you are currently perusing. That's a chunk out of surfability. I'd like to be able to move around while waiting for the load icon to finish spinning. Just a thought.
