Living in England at the trailing edge of technology and the sharp edge of real life. Granddaughter #1 gets credit for my wallpaper.
Spotted this cool IPv6 bumper sticker whilst in Merrimack, NH on my travels a few weeks ago. - https://picasaweb.google.com/1128665...

Beware there is an iTunes phishing email doing the rounds. It looks genuine enough but the link takes you to a server at itunes.apple.verification.compte.id.casadue.com.uy I'm wary as this one was sent to an email address that is used exclusively for iTunes and a couple of Apple software outlets. #apple   #itunes   #phishing - https://picasaweb.google.com/1128665...
Another consumer-grade router with IPv6 support - DIR600-B5 with Firmware 2.15 (Europe). Ironically was given this to flash with DD-WRT but it isn't supported! - https://picasaweb.google.com/1128665...

Important News for Google Reader Users — Blog — WordPress.com - http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013...
Apparently you can also import your Google Reader feeds into Wordpress Reader. Another one on the list to evaluate then... - Nick B.
I'm thinking that Firefox plus some feed add-ons might be a good solution for me to replace Google Reader.
- FF Sync will save my bookmarks (including Live Bookmarks I hope?) - The Sage extension will import OPML feeds. Not been updated for a while though it still works with FF 19. - Feed Sidebar 6 and OPML Support 1.6 is another alternative. - Bamboo Feed Reader 1.7.4 also works quite well. I can set up each one of these combinations in their own Firefox profile and play with them until I find one that suits my needs. - Nick B.
Pipes: Rewire the web - http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
Whilst I'm evaluating alternatives in preparation for the Google Reader closure I shall be re-visiting Yahoo Pipes. I've used this service in the past to process multiple RSS feeds and output as a single feed to low-bandwodth applications. - Nick B.
