I just connected Feedly to my Google Reader account, and Feedly says that when Reader goes away I won't notice any difference.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Except it's my understanding that Google Reader is updating constantly, and I'm not sure other services will have the bandwidth/throughput to do that. Google Reader also keeps the old pages on its server, so if you want to look at old stuff it doesn't get re-pulled from the original site. Also not something I'm convinced all other services can do...
Apparently The Old Reader is getting hammered with requests. I may wait a month or two before switching to another service...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How is that consolidated or automated?

No, I'm aware of the technical hooks--I mean as a consumer of tweets replacing an RSS feed to my consolidation tool--what is my interface there? The normal twitter front end and clicking on links? Wouldn't that top out pretty quickly in usability?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Blast from the past time: Tech Time Warp of the Week: The Commodore-64, 1983 | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com
What was originally a two-hour info/training video on the C-64 has been edited down to nine minutes. I laughed out loud when he described the C-64 as having "a huge amount of memory." The video is also interesting because it's aimed at people who know almost nothing about computeres--it explains what a tape drive and floppy disc drive are.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Anyone else getting an iTunes store 4010 error when trying to update genius results? Google is giving me no love on a solution that actually works.

I get a shitload of weird iTunes errors these days but I don't remember the error number. But they're all something to do with a failed request of the iTunes Store.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I'm trying to sell my MacBook Pro on Craigslist for $700. Someone just emailed me and asked if it was still available. I replied that it was, but the price was firm. He immediately replied and offered me $200, plus his PC.
People suck.

Tell him to sell the PC for $500 and bring that money plus the $200?
Either that or crush his head, Kids in the Hall- style.

I'm not sure if they suck, or are just painfully stupid.

Does anyone know why Google's webmaster tools keep coming back with the same error: http:/ /alt.buffistas.net/: Googlebot can't access your site 14 March 2013 --the space is mine, but the colon after the last forward slash is not. Do I need to nuke it from orbit and start again? I'd rather not.
