On playing with the innernizzle.

Today I played with Newsgator and then with Flickr.

Newsgator is cute and I’m going to try it out. So far I’ve tried Kinja and Bloglines and they both have really cool features but they both really pretty much suck at the same time. I realize that it’s a lot of information to present, but how hard can it be to build a simple interface for aggregation? I can’t seem to figure out how to export my OPML file(s) from either of my current aggregators, so we’ll see how it goes.

Since I run my own gallery application here at goblinbox, I never had any need for flickr but today I tried out their mosaic tool (thanks, 80) and ended up using my Y! login to set up a flickr account, blah blah blah.

I’ve had a bit of envy when visiting blogs with cute flickr mosaics in their sidebars… Thinking on it, though, my own gallery software has feeds so I could probably do the same stuff with it. Hmm.

In other news, I created and uploaded a favicon today but it’s not working in Firefox.

Please don’t hate me because I’m smarter than you.

    I don’t hate you even though you are smarter than I. I’ve spent the last 15 minutes trying to figure out how to make you one of my “flickr buddies” or whatever they’re called. Can’t do it. very sucky.

    Ok, I don’t hate you because I think you’re so damn cool but I envy your nerdiness. so stick that in your CRT and smoke it!
