Busy Batchin' It
The Espousa left for a conference in Salt Lake City yesterday morning. She'll be away from home until Wednesday. I went to an ethanol plant opening yesterday morning and spent the vast amount of the day traveling to and from that event.
I did get the Progeny's Mexico trip plane reservations booked, paid the balance on his school tuition and booked the Espousa's annual "Sister's Weekend" reservations. I then started fiddling with my new cell phone/Swiss Army Knife, the Treo 650. (Incidentally, I've already had three people stop me in public areas after seeing it on the table in front of me and ask, "Is that a Treo?" Yes. "Which model?" 650. "Wow." Everyone of them those questions, in that order.
I found a great piece of software for the Palm OS that was just released called "Quick News." It is an RSS feed reader for the Palm. What that is, in my sister's terms, is software that can, using the cellphone network, collect the headers and story bodies of any blog that provides a special kind of link on their blog called an RSS feed. RSS stand for "real simple synchronization." And it is. Most of the websites that I visit are blogs, just in a different format. For example take a look at Ipodlounge.com. That's a blog and the RSS feed reader strips away all the adds and gives me just the headlines on my cellphone. And yes, I added an RSS feed to this site.
Today's agenda; raking leaves before the storms hit.
