I had a request yesterday from two separate sourcesthat in non-geekdom I don’t know how to fulfil.
“Hamo, I’m wondering if you’d mind putting your complete posts in your RSS feed. I read most of my favourite blogs via RSS and would love to be able to do that with yours.” chocolat download
Any tips people?
I use bloglines which obviously automates things, but I don’t know how to do this…
Hamo the semi-geek 🙂
Ok – this will disappoint the mac fans, but I have chosen to stay with a windows based machine… I have however taken a risk and bought thru ebay. Let’s hope it comes good…
My windows experiences haven’t been too bad at all over the years so when all was weighed up I liked the specs, feel, look and price of the Sony Vaio better than the Macbook or the Samsung Q 35 that was next in line.
The main criteria were battery life, moderate screen size, weight, price and then specs.
A 13.3″ screen just seems a bit easier to work with than a twelve (Samsung), the Sony has bigger hard drive, more ram than the mac and is very nicely put together weighing only 1.8kg.
I won’t have that cute glossy white look, but hopefully I’ll have a beast that will get me thru the next 3 years with few hiccups.
Thanks for the comments and advice. I did actually listen to all of them and I think I’ve made a good decision and got the machine at a decent price.
My laptop is about to be replaced. Its been over 3 years of faithful service, but its time to upgrade.
I have had a few people sing the praises of Macs lately and I must confess I am looking into them seriously.
If I were to buy one it’d probably be the mid range ‘MacBook’.
But I’m open to being swayed either way.
What is your experience?

Ok – so its not quite like that…
But if you haven’t been to Scot McKnight’s ‘Jesus Creed’ blog then you are seriously missing out on some of the best stuff on the web. Scot is a well known Christian author and professor who writes prolifically online on issues of theology and ecclesiology in a changing world.
Its great stuff and its like having a new chapter of a book every day – without having to pay for it.
I can’t keep up with all that Scot writes (and getting thru the comments is another issue again), but if you want to read some of the latest thinking from a bona fide theologian (as opposed to a bakcyard hack) without having to wait for it to get to the publisher, get edited etc then check out Scot’s blog.
I’m pretty impressed with Flock as a web browser.
Firefox didn’t seem to have much that explorer couldn’t provide, but Flock is nice…
Moving home…
Go here to get a ‘picture cloud’ that reflects the primary issues your blog discusses.
Interesting I thought…
I began wondering last night how life would be without email.
I began wondering what it would be like to choose to go a month of normal life without access to email except for business/bulk mail-outs. Could I do it?…
Email is easy, convenient and accessible. It is great for conveying information quickly and simply. But it is becoming somewhat ubiquitous and probably getting used in a way that it means it is now actually detracting from personal relationships.
I wonder what it would be like to have to get on the phone every time I wanted to tell someone something or ask a question. I imagine it would result in some increased level of relationship amongst us because we would have to (at least out of politeness) ask about each other’s lives.
It would be more time consuming not to have email. But then again maybe I would just be content to relate to fewer people…
At times I feel quite overwhelmed with the number of people in my life, so it is easier to fire a quick email and wait for a reply rather than make a phone call and talk. I love email because it has given me the freedom to do that.
Occasionally I wonder what a non-email life would be like. I have been wondering what it would be like to get an auto-responder to tell people ‘Hamo is off email for Feb. You’ll have to phone him if you want to get him!’.
I’m not sure I could do it.
Or maybe I will” I’ll let you know!
Gotta be crazy to try this!
