of RSS and Podcasts
Hey all,
Something I was reminded of today was that getting broadband direct to my laptop meant that I could now download podcasts.
Neato.
It also has given me a curiousity about the whole RSS thing.
Granted, that would only really matter to me if it was absolutely necessary that I get all information from all sources all the time immediately (as opposed to being able to peruse in a leisurely fashion, as I do now), but it does still strike me as interesting.
As it happens, the Version 2.0 of Safari has inbuilt RSS support. But to run 2.0 I would need to get Tiger (or OS X.4), which would probably mean reformatting and reinstalling all my software. Which would be a palaver, since I think I did leave some important discs back in Brisbane.
Of course, this is the type of thing that would be easily solved if I had thought to partition my hard drive from the get go, but that's the kind of thing that never oocurs to the likes of me when it matters. Nope, I'm pretty much the king of 'Turn the Key and Go!", when it comes to computers, which is why I like Macs, and why I like being related to Gus.
I'm running out of food again, so it might be time for me to go out and get some.
Over and out.

I recently got into podcasts. When you find good ones, which can be rare, it rules.
I'll be jiggered, someone else actually reads this!
(other than clyo, who is probably snowed under with her novel, anyway)
