I'm curious about combining a program like Qualrus: Idea Works, Inc. with video and audio recording, text notes and PC screen capture or PC monitoring software, such as SpyAgent or Wiretap Professional to create a record of personal interaction with a computer.

Two content management systems to look at: drupal.org | community plumbing and the latest version of Plone. I'm also trying a new "Blog This!" plugin for Mozilla Firefox.

The Official Commonwealth of Virginia Home Page took me by surprise when I was looking for RSS feeds. Maybe there's a secret plan to change the state license plate slogan to "Virginia is for LoveRSS?"

Feeding Frenzy? I just discovered that this neglected Blogger site of mine generates both RSS and Atom feeds, but for some reason the last couple of posts didn't show up in the Atom version. This is a test (obviously).

It could be that publishing the previous update with NewsMonster generated the XML feed, while making this one directly in Blogger revived the Atom feed.

NewsMonster is mentioned below without a link, so adding one seems like the right thing to do. NewsMonster turns Mozilla into a three-panel RSS aggregator. Alas, the wizards at Blogger-Google don't include an RSS feed in these free Blogspot accounts, and Newsmonster doesn't yet support the new Atom format that B/G is promoting.

The Occupational Adventure (sm) Blog: Getting unstuck OK, nothing is quite as "sticky" as trying to write about a dozen aggregators at once, with a deadline that coincides with a certain IRS one... so I'm quite happy to have stumbled on Curt Rosengren's blog. I followed a link to it from Steven Cohen's Library Stuff. Actually, having two real deadlines actually helps with the unsticking, providing the "Future focus" he mentions.

300 Years of News Aggregation?
As part of my research on XML feed aggregators, I'm trying the NewsMonster aggregator, which installs into Mozilla and lets me subscribe to an RSS feed with a right mouse-click.
While doing that, I noticed that the right mouse button menu also has a "blog this with Blogger" item on the menu, so I'm giving it a try. I knew I was keeping this old blog around for something!
