RSS (again) and the latter part of this week.

Colin and I have been talking a lot about RSS, as you probably have noticed. While searching for some aggregators to recommend to Colin in my previous post, I came across NetNewsWire. This is a really easy to use aggregator.
While setting up my most visited web sites, I found that there are very few local news sites that have RSS feeds. The closest one I could find (other than the Daily) was a TV station in Cedar Rapids. The Trib doesn't have one. None of the Des Moines news stations have one. The Des Moines Register doesn't have one. There is no good place for local news in an easy RSS feed! Though, I believe this concept is still rather young, but I believe now that FireFox, Safari, and other programs are starting to add support for it in thier programs, there will be a lot more feeds soon to come.
Also, Adrienne reported a problem where stuff disappears on my site. It didn't do this before I added the subjects and RSS feeds, but now when I check it out with IE on Windows, it does it. It usually is triggered on page load (scrolling off and back on will display it again) or when you hover over a link. I tried removing the link style, and it still does it. My HTML and CSS validates just fine. Explorer is just too good at making web developers say WTF.
Wednesday was nice. I found that Adrienne still existed. I'm starting to miss some of the game night stuff that happened though the summer. I don't really have much time now to organize it all.
Thursday, I was able to sleep in :). Had a productive meeting for the MUG officers and got a ton of homework done that night.
Today was pretty lazy, up until now. I got some MUG stuff done and now I'm going to head home early to clean the boat before catching a movie with Colin.
I'm looking forward to a fun weekend.
