Googlefight now makes my decisions

I've decided to spare some cycles and leave some of my non-critical decisions up to Googlefight.

Here are some of the decisions that I haven't had to make today:

  1. fried rice vs. chow mein
  2. potstickers vs. barbeque pork
  3. juice vs. coffee
  4. work vs. nap

I'm feeling much more efficient today!

Bloglines Problems Fixed

I've been having problems with Bloglines again where my feeds aren't showing they've been updated. Last time that this happened, I just waited around until it fixed itself. But this time I've been poring over my rss feeds to see if there's something wrong with them.

Then I searched around and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem:

It looks like the best way to get it fixed is just to email support@bloglines.com. I was hoping for some sort of xml-rpc ping so I wouldn't have to bug them, but I don't see one on their site. Oh well, I emailed them and it was fixed right away. Thanks, guys!

Now, in a pathetic effort to appease the Bloglines polling server, I've decided to add a "subscribe to Bloglines" button to my blog. I was hoping to add something not too obtrusive ala a cigarette burn in Fight Club...

Bah, screw it, the bloglines button goes with the other syndication stuff over on the right.

Let me close by saying, that I, for one, welcome our new Bloglines overlords.

please don't drop me
