FeedDemon and NewsGator, In Sync? I began an experiment with keeping my aggregator, FeedDemon, in sync with NewsGator.  I figured that since NewsGator acquired Bradbury Software last week, it sort of made sense.  Well, I did some experimenting, and at first blush it appears that it will do what I want it to.  I can export all of my current feeds, and NewsGator imports that file without a problem at all.  I can then go into FeedDemon and tell it to import these feeds.  The only problem I can see is that since I am fairly organized, I am going to have to do a lot of post-import work once I get the synchronized feeds in place.  The feeds are slightly different than the unsynchronized ones I have.  Thus, I would have to import them, and then I would have to delete the old unsynchronized ones.  I made a post on the Feature Request forums here.  Essentially, I just want the option to replace my current channels in my current channel groups.  I do not want to do any post-importation cleanup.  I have a suspicion that this is coming, but I see no harm in prodding a programmer every now and then.  Once that happens, I can then be in sync between my home workstation and my laptop.  9:28:16 PM    comment []  trackback []

24, Day 4 As one of the few shows I watch on TV regularly, I watched the season finale of 24 last night.  It was not too bad, but it did not seem up to its usual high standards.  I have to admit that my friend was dead on earlier this season when he complained to me via AIM that the season is much too predictable.  That was so true last night.  The one good part about the finale last night: seeing the professional mercenary Mandy getting punched in the face by Curtis.  Serves her cold-ass right!  Now, I have to wait until January 2006 for the new season, and something tells me it will not be until the end of January.  I hate Fox when it comes to season premieres.  Because of its baseball and football schedules, you have to wait too darn long until a new season of a good show premieres.   9:27:15 AM    comment []  trackback []
