Crazy

22 December 2006 by kristarella

Oh my! The shops are crazy. :crazy: I am not going there again until after Christmas is over. You couldn’t pay me enough money.

Switch to Google Reader

20 December 2006 by kristarella

Since switching to Ubuntu I’ve been using Liferea for reading blogs and news feeds (but mostly blogs). I like it, it’s got a nice layout and is fairly flexible. It is a desktop program, it runs on your computer (as opposed to an online server) so it’s not accessible from everywhere. Online aggregators are very […]
