More updates

So I found newsgator.com while reading an article which seems to be a good enough RSS reader. Of course, the day after I decided I like NewsSator Google redid their reader which I like allot now. Oh well. I may go with Google's because I can export and import an OPML with all my feeds, and the idea of not being able to do that in NewsGator just annoys me. It's too much like something microsoft would do. But both are adequate for me now, and at the moment I don't want to move my feeds one more time. When I get my reading list stable in a week or two, I'll have to link to that opml too, so anyone can see my typical reading list. I should also throw some news in too as I don't get any current events in the world any other way.

Other than that, nothing much else going on. Just doing house updates and playing warcraft.

Oh, that reminds me, the latest version of Wine finally works on Gentoo for me with a fully upgraded gcc 4.1.1 system. It's pretty good, hangs when it loads data it seems. Must be some differences in the threading in MS Win DX and the Wine implementation. I've never had it lock in an instance that I can remember so it's good enough although the sound lags a bit. Landing from a FP is usually the worst I have to deal with, and waiting a min there is acceptable. I think it could also be Alsa related, but I haven't proven that. Changing a SoundSystem config option in WTF/Config.wtf from 1 to 0 didn't help which I thought it might if it was a sound issue. Great job to the guys at winehq. There's a good chance I'll never run Vista which is more than okay with me.

Maybe some day, I'll get around to doing something to help OSS and report on that. It could be soon.
