Feeds:later that night
RSS continues to infuriate me. I don't know if it's just the Google aggregator or something else, but I can't see the item I added to the feed until an hour after I updated the feed -even if I press the refresh button on the aggregator, which one would think would, oh, I don't know, look at the feed to see if it's been updated! Aagh.
While trying to get Dr. Google to divulge everything she knows about RSS, I discovered something cool, though. In about the fifteenth tutorial I looked at, it told me how to make the little RSS thing appear in the address bar in Firefox, and wherever it appears in all the other browsers as well. It was easy to implement, and is the main purpose of this update, pretty much. I couldn't even find a quote. (As an aside, that quote from the last update was not, for the record, directed at me. Not that I remember, anyway.) Actually, I did, kinda, but I'm not sure who said it, when, or why, but it was on a scrap of paper in my quote jar (which is, in point of fact, a can) and I enjoyed it immensely.
Person 1: "Is there a tiger inside you?"
Person 2: "No, it wouldn't fit; there's too many guts."
There was also a third line, but I need to qualify it by saying that I suspect it was said at a separate time, and possibly by a different person. But that doesn't make it necessarily unrelated.
Person X: "I don't want to be bulky; this is important to me."
These three lines were written on a piece of paper containing notes for an early stage of of John's and my python implementation of Carcassonne for Software Construction, so that puts it at being mid-Winter Quarter, last year. Due to the structure and word choices of the first two lines, I suspect the persons come from a set of John, Leah, and myself, though I wouldn't put money on it. Maybe someone else remembers.
Now I'm going to have a sandwich.
