Wasted Continuum

There’s been way too many twitter update posts in a row. I have obviously been lacking in the blogging aspect of my life. I have been keeping up with my Flickr 365 project. There was one day when I was without my Canon Rebel XT. I had to resort to my Razr. Thankfully, that was only for one day. If any of you photographers (of any level) have not done a 365 project, you definitely should. It really forces you to think more about photography and also get you more comfortable with the idea of shooting everyday. I thought I was going to run out of ideas in a week and end up with over 300 plus myspace-esque pics. I think I may have only a few of those kind.

I have not abandoned my blog and I will be more active. This is why the twitter updates help me. I have a nice visual marker of how long I haven’t been writing. There’s a lot of things I want to write about and I will try to get to them tonight. Thank you to the readers who are still checking Wasted Continuum. And thank you Google Analytics for letting me know I still have readers! Remember, you can always add my rss feed (http://www.wastedcontinuum.com/feed/) to your favorite rss reader. I have used Sage (a Firefox add-on), FeedDemon (standalone application, maybe Windows only) and Google Reader (web-based reader). Currently, I’m using Google Reader. It’s easy to use and I’m really liking the features.

I’ve recently started using FeedDemon as my RSS aggregator since they starting offering it as a free app. They just released a new update. I’m liking it so far, but I’m still a little hesitant. It works great. I just have some minor annoyances with it. First off, I don’t like how folders don’t expand when you click on the name of it. You have to click on the little arrow next to it. Second, if the feed is really long, FeedDemon splits it into pages which is great. The thing that bugs me is that you have to go down to the bottom right corner and click on the little next button. It’s really small when you’re on a 1920 x 1200 desktop. There may be a keyboard shortcut for it, but I don’t see it or know of it. Last, it browses with IE. It’s not the biggest deal since I force it to open in Firefox when I click on a story.

Overall, I’m happy with FeedDemon, but there’s probably something better out there. Maybe I’ll give Google Reader a try. If I get too annoyed by FeedDemon, I’ll probably go back to using Sage, a Firefox Add-On.
