Google Reader: More thoughts
In: Blogging
29 Sep 2006So far, Google Reader is meeting or exceeding all my expectations in all areas except one: auto-refresh. Bloglines occasionally checks back in and loads up new articles, and it would be great if the Google Reader did the same thing.
UPDATE: Looks the interface does this. My mistake!

28 Sep 2006Judging by the flood of mail coming into my account for the last 15 minutes, there was an outage with the GMAIL SMTP servers sometime overnight or early this morning.

WRT54G(L): Interesting Behaviour
In: Technology
26 Sep 2006I was futzing around with my WRT54G(L) last night and did something wrong. I thought I had bricked the damn thing.

I hope that this will be resolved later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.
