RoBlog: all my wonderful toys

all my wonderful toys: "

Well, as those that work with me can attest, I used to blabber about how great mozilla's rss reader was, and how much more efficiently I could get nothing accomplished.

This Evening, I stumbled across this beauty: Onfolio (found on scobleizer here). And holy hell, it's amazing. Not only does it give you the awesome syndication features of Thunderbird, but the Onfolio Newspaper View is amazing. It has a firefox extension that is very well done (and an IE one, but if you're using an RSS aggregator, you probably aren't browsing in IE6). I'd say that I'll post more when i figure out how to work more of it's features, but i'd just be lying, as i'm pretty lazy.

This definitely ranks up there with Firefox bookmark keywords and Adblock Filters.

Wow, I'm a nerd

A freind of mine (and member of my staff) has started a blog, and alread made a posting I found useful. I really like the knowledge capture aspect.

Just this week I started looking at more advanced rss readers than Sage. I installed rssPopper for outlook and was deciding if it was working for me or not when Rob posted this OnFolio product. Another product that might fit the bill for me is NewsGator. The online/offline combination offering is pretty cool as well.

So trying OnFolio now. I like it so far.


Another of my staff (http://portal.goofyft.com/ - notice its an empty portal) suggested I should open source the code to my wedding website - www.jessandrob.com. My concern is that the code quality isn't the best, and I'm utilizing ORMapper.com so people would need to port the db calls to ado.net or throw Paul Wilson $50 for the mapper. Maybe I should as Paul Wilson if there's a way I can include it?

Anyone out there interested?
