Too many RSS subscriptions were killing me. Combined with my constant export/import I did between all the readers, I felt like I was wasting my life reading about other people’s lives.

Then I found about RSSFwd. RSSFwd is a service that will poll your RSS feeds and email you the content when the feed is updated. I find it super useful as I already have some great rules in my Mail.app program to sort and filter information.

RSSFwd is completely free, in fact it is open source so you can download it and run your own copy if you want. It is powered by Ruby on Rails so you might want to check with your webhost before you try to install it.

So if you want a better RSS client and are getting flustered with sorting all the inflows, give RSSFwd a try.

If you see this I am back online with my server now hosted at home. I got plenty of content waiting but it will take a bit to get it all on here. Stay tuned.

As of tomorrow I will be migrating to a new server setup. This could take up to a week and since I am tired I have decided to just take the downtime and not worry about it. I should be back up and running next weekend.

Well I took a look today at my stacks of paper and noticed that while offline GTD has helped out a lot of stuff in my life but dang, I am a digital junkie.

My first step is to clean up this thing I call a Desktop

Did Buddha ever say:

A scattered desktop nevers gets work done.

Oh well, rm -Rf time

New diff out for the server stats plugin for Typo. Added some more comments, removed stale code, and mainly setup some class so it will actually take a style now.

If you get issues with it and the azure.css just add the CSS class by hand. The rate Typo is moving it is hard to peg a diff to their CSS.

/* Server Stats Plugin CSS */
p.stats {
  color: #BA0A28;
}

It’s in the same area as before, the dropbox.
