Things on my mind
Aug 20th, 2007 by Jane Ullah
After trying several free off-line feed readers, I settled on FeedDemon and paid for the service. Since then, it’s been indispensable to me because I keep in touch with odd technologies and have my pulse on the news media. Especially, since I don’t have a cable subscription, I need to get my news fix somewhere.
Needless to say, having my finger on certain blogs can be irritating especially on the eve of a certain company’s launch of a product *hint*iPhone. It was all I could do to keep from screaming. How someone can spend that much on a phone is beyond me. I’d rather invest in buying a DSLR camera than waste that much money on a device that a glorified iPod. That’s the price as a darned Laptop these days! It galls me to no end especially when I see people use it as a status symbol. The sad part is that those people will never even use the iPhone’s full capabilities. It’s a damn shame, but their damned prerogative.
In other news, I’ve just finished reading 2 books by Erich Segal titled “Doctors” and “Acts of Faith“. They were both incredibly moving and I love his style of story telling. I’m currently a 3rd titled “Prizes” and it sounds very promising. Paul has a library of really good books and I’m just scraping the surface. Once I’m done with the library, I’ll scour his library of DVDs next.
Another thing that has been on my mind pertains to etiquette after an interview and especially after a request for one’s references & particulars has been made. This happened for me over a week ago and I haven’t heard anything back. My initial instincts are that I didn’t get the job which would suck. However, I’m sorely tempted to just make an inquiry to confirm that the death knell has been sounded. I hate no knowing and I’m apparently on the verge of being plunged into not-knowing-ness. Ahh, c’est la vie.

Thanks for mentioning FeedDemon, Jane - glad to hear that it’s serving you well!
