I am a long time Dish subscriber. What I want for Christmas is a much more
intelligent electronic program guide with much better usability. Maybe when
Google TV grows up?

Re: Remember when people wrote letters, on paper?

rjeffries — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:29:46 -0000

I agree. Handwriting is mainly a lost art. I never learned "cursive" writing as it was called in school. To this day, my handwriting is a not very pretty form of block letter printing.

But put me in front of a Correcting Selectric III...

Re: Imho, the OPML Editor is not hard (Scripting News)

rjeffries — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:36:18 -0000

OPML Editor shows 10 "folders" (Google Reader term)
Greader shows 33 folders.

I have not counted the number of individual Greader entries
(the ones that are not nested in folderx) but OPML apparently
sees all of them.

Item 2: example of things I hope to be able to do using OPML editor.
a) edit the name of a folder
b) easily move an individual item into a folder I select
c) move an item from one folder to another
d) collapse two folders (categories?) together

thanks in advance.

Dave,

I uploaded my Greader file to Dropbox:
https://dl-web.getdropbox.c...

I have a bit over 1200 entries. Yeah, that IS crazy, but so is Scoble. ;)

My OS is Vista 64. I also have VBox running, with Ubuntu 9.04 if that
would be a better environment.

thanks in advance

I need a tool that will let me edit my Google Reader OPML file to majorly clean things up. Why? IMO Greader's support of modifying/updating feed subscriptions is weak at best.

Some months ago I tried to use OPML Editor with GReader OPML and got exactly nowhere.

If you'll say "Yes, this works" I'll try again to make it work.

I'll install use your editor on Vista 64.

Re: Building Your Twitter Network with TwitterMASS

rjeffries — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:13:30 -0000

you are very observant. I've recently been experimenting with Tweeting more often as a way to increase my number of followers.

And I've very recently become a "promiscuous " Twitter follower. It's an experiment, not sure it is the right approach.

Still interestrd in how to best find smart articulate people who do not spew Tweets. ;)

But it's fair to say: "Define "spew"

be well

smart
articulate
thoughtful
knowledgeable

people who do not Tweet excessively.

Thanks for that (fascinating) update.

Re: A friend says: “I don’t Facebook”

rjeffries — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:37:29 -0000

Larry,

Thanks for your thoughts. I confess: I went through my own "anti-Facebook"
phase, but I got over it once a couple of relatives started using Facebook,
including the love of my life (who is not "into" social networking.;).

FB does a great job of helping a group of real life friends and family stay
in touch vis short messages or posting photos
or videos.

FB consumes 3-5 minutes of my day. I can afford that modest time investment!

I suspect my anti-FB friends are chasing ghosts.
