It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thanks for the google reader assistance -- it doesn't quite do what I'm looking for, but maybe I'll just re-sort my feeds to approximate it.

So wtf is up with bloglines anyway? Besides being down that one day, all sorts of things that were working have gotten all wonky. I started thinking of switching to google reader even before bon bon's post. I'd rather not (just because I'm lazy) - is there any word on wtf is up with bloglines?

When I searchedall I could find were people bitching about how flaky it is, and how support and the forums are useless. It's super annoying that bloglines doesn't communicate when/why they're down. This was the tipping point for me: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Thanks.

Well, sometimes they have that plumber guy, when they're down for scheduled maintenance....

Say, you don't suppose that's Joe the plumber, do you?

Yeah, I'll probably end up switching to google reader....

bon bon, I am dying with the twitters that are in other languages - and complaining about bloglines!

bloglines fucked up my feeds about 2-3 years ago and I moved to google reader.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

- no contractors license
- never served as an apprentice
- owes back taxes
- has two tax lien
- claims to be in the union, but no record of it

oops.

I also heard the really good gossip that he might be related to Charles Keating.

NASA: Hubble Space Telescope's Reboot Going Well

NASA's long-distance effort to revive the ailing Hubble Space Telescope is going well, with the orbital observatory on track to resume science observations by week's end, agency officials said Thursday.

The two-day repair began early Wednesday as NASA engineers began commanding Hubble from the ground to switch to a backup system after its main data relay channel failed last month. But remote control fix is tricky, requiring systems to power up after nearly two decades of hibernation.

Wow, booting up hardware that's been sitting dormant in space for 20 years....

Has anyone else been having issues with their Tivo lately? Mine has been recording reruns of TDS and Colbert that are clearly not on the To-Do List.

People were a little bit...stressed. (The actual work took 2 days, but the testing and planning took much longer.) But that's what a side B is for! And btw, it worked. Science operations are in fact resuming tonight. Yay data!
