For a while I used Sage to read my feeds. It served well enough, but I use several different machines, and none of them would be in sync. I thought about self-hosting, with Planet or similar. To be honest, I'm still thinking about it, in part because of my usual reservations about turning over my stuff to third parties.
It occurs to me that I may just be too paranoid to be 2.0.
Despite that, I decided to give Google Reader a go first. It works well, seamlessly in my browser like you'd expect from a Google product. Unfortunately, it also keeps my apprised of how many things are waiting to be looked at.
This morning, when I checked my feeds when getting up, there were 689 outstanding items. Tonight, as I wrap up my day, there are 813. I doubt I can keep up, but I can't decide what to cut.
I lose at teh internets.
Dating back approximately my return from PyCon, I have been having trouble sleeping. It's not every night, and it's not just tossing and turning. It's more like my brain never makes the transition from waking state to sleeping state. I'm not sure if that distinction is clear; it's sure clear when I'm lying there staring at the ceiling.
The accompanying fatigue has been sufficient to suppress my urge to update my journal, hence the dearth of new entries. There are a few things percolating, though. While those are developing, though, here are some links of interest for the week.
