Welcome to Feedster + About.com

Well that + should actually be "with".  We just added the 400 + about.com rss feeds.  They should be available tonight.

Why I'm Not Reading Joi Ito's Blog Anymore  /  What's Up with CSS in Firebird ?

Sigh.  Whenever I read Joi's blog under Linux using Firebird .6 xft, I can watch the CSS render.  I mean watch it.  What's up with that. 

Note: I am still reading his blog but just not as frequently.

So You'd Like to Use Feedster to ...

Here are some of the new things you can do

• Find all weblog postings in the Netherlands
• Find all weblog postings that mention Boston (yeah that's right smart case sensitivity)
• Find all weblog postings with this OR that BUT NOT the other
• etc.

Check out our 1st pass at a help system: http://feedster.com/help/ .  Not 100% complete yet but all the examples are tested and work.  There's a LOT of advanced searching stuff.

I'm Not the Only One with "XP Trauma"

Scoble has often maintained that my Windows 2000 stability issues would go away if I went to Windows XP.  Now I've steadfastly refused since my experience has been that things rarely get better and if so why bother?  Now Scott over at www.scottah.com is having my type of 2K troubles but on Windows XP.

Url Searching Works Again

So if you query for:

• http://www.feedster.com/blog/ you should find anyone who links to the feedster blog
• http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?pandecta/1/Search_Engine_Yearbook_2003 you should find anyone linking to my post about audio books run amok

I still need to fix this for the RSS searches but this is a start.  And some of the advanced search options might not work w/ url queries.

Recommendation Wanted: Ergonomic Keyboard

I pulled a 17 hour day yesterday of which I was typing probably close to 15 hours.  And for the first time since I learned to type in 1978/7? I went to bed with my right hand hurting enough that I iced it down.  And it still hurts.  So the obvious questions are:

• Do ergonomic / split keyboards really matter?
• Recommendation?

Note: Can't be USB since my monitor switcher is classic PS/2 interface.  Thanks in advance.
