Ah… yup.

Actually, using plain old email for feeds now. I use http://feedmyinbox.com

They give you a nice little bookmark you can put in the bar up top of your browser, and then if you find yourself on a blog or news site that you want to get updates from, you click it. It sends you a confirmation email, and away you go. The cool thing is that they send you everything from each site in one email, and they come once a day. Mine turn up just before breakfast – so I get an email from BoingBoing, one from TechCrunch, another from the Guardian… each with all of the new articles from that site.

Displays nice too.

Mind you – I only subscribe to about 30-35 sites. This is one of them. So I get about 30 emails. I skim through them, find the interesting stuff and then delete. I know people who have thousands of RSS feeds using Google Reader or NetNewsWire. It causes them anguish, but they pretend it makes them informed.

I wonder, are you not possibly Kazakh and not English? Your word-speakings do have most familiar ring to them of my comrade Borat when you make writings of them.

Mate, this is the perfect opportunity to watch ALL the stuff you’re not allowed to normally! Stop your moaning and let American TV work it’s wonderful magic. Or just re-watch Spooks…

Also try Ibuprofen (or whatever upside down equivelent you can get your hands on) or Codeine & Paracetemol – won’t fix snot but does work for aches and sore throats.

The gods plot against us James. If we overcome their schemes then we must surely be gods ourselves.
