Dear Friends of RSS,
In my #efforts to be a #Super-Nerd, I am trying to use #RSS. It seems a good way of #receiving #news and #following #ideas relevant to me rather than #programmed, #syndicated or biased social media?
As usual, I #know nothing about it, just familiar with its symbol ...
So far I have #downloaded an RSS program, #Firefox #extension and tried to make sense of them or at least use in some #relevant way ...
I may be too #stupid to use the interneti-neti:
- the program just seemed to be busy waiting for food, #feed, #connection
- the Firefox extension seems to be doing something when I load it
- the sun is shining and maybe I should have a #weather RSS feeding

#Downloaded (2013)
A documentary that explores the downloading revolution; the kids that created it, the bands and the businesses that were affected by it, and its impact on the world at large. #Napster
I drove to the #office this morning to start copying some files I #downloaded. Here we are some 13 hours later and it looks like the file copy might be done in an hour. I am tempted to go back to the office tonight to get my files an my drive.
Today, when I woke up, I thought "I'll have to use that #Microsoft #Windows laptop in 48 hours, I should get it down and start #updates". It's been off for two weeks after all .
I plugged it in and clicked "check for updates at 7.30am. (Downloads usually run at 15Mbps into the draughty shoebox I call home.)
Every now and then during the day, I noticed it asking if it was OK to #reboot, and I clicked "reboot now" to help it along. I certainly didnt use it to do any work.
It is 8.57pm, still updating, It seems to have #downloaded about 25GB so far and rebooted perhaps six times.
I'm off to bed, this is utterly insane.
