Did my tax return today.

… need I say more???

Feeder 1.1 got 4 out of 5 stars in Macworld UK‘s WWDC 2005 edition, which is on the shelves now. The review will be available online for subscribers only. Gillian Thomson writes:

When I first tried Feeder I was delighted at the speed and ease in which you can set it up and start publishing RSS feeds…

Only one problem: the accompanying screenshot is of NewsMac Pro from the NewsMac Pro / NetNewsWire joint review below, but there you go. Coincidentally, I came across NewsMac Pro the other day and it looks great. Seems less well-known than the other newsreaders around at the moment so I hope that changes soon.

I have decided to reorganise my blog a little with new categories for Feeder and KIT, since many of the posts didn’t really fit that well in Software Development, because they were me blowing my own trumpet (pardon?). I’ve also added a Syndication category to deal with all things to do with RSS, RDF, Atom, etc.

Riveting post this, innit?

The problem, dear reader, is that I have been doing my accounts all day in readiness for my tax return, which means I’ve been up to my eyeballs in paper, stapling things together and filing stuff away. Being ultra-organised doesn’t really suit me, but once I get the bug I can’t stop. Now even our four cats are lined up in chronological and alphabetical order and held together with an elastic band.

I think I need help.

You can find the full transcript of Steve Jobs’ speech to the Stanford University graduates here.

Normally Jobs’s private life is justifiably and understandably just that, so make the most of it. While it could almost be considered a strange speech to give to these graduates, I thought it was very interesting and great advice, having followed a similar path to Jobs myself. I dropped out of education early for the same reasons and have experienced life joining the dots in ways I could never have planned nor would ever expect. Of course I’m only 30, so there’s a long way to go yet! 😉
